Knowledge gives your workspace a place to write. Every workspace has one Knowledge Base: a shared set of markdown notes organized into folders, connected by wikilinks, and open to your agents as their persistent memory 📝
The workspace is the container. There is nothing to create or choose: open the Knowledge tab and everything written in the workspace is there, for every member and every agent. To split knowledge apart, split it into a new workspace.
Group notes into folders, and folders within folders. Folders are purely for filing: a note's title is unique across the whole Knowledge Base, not just its folder, so a wikilink to a note finds it wherever you have filed it. Move notes between folders freely and nothing breaks.
The Index note is the Knowledge Base's front page. It is always included when an agent reads the workspace, so use it as a map: a summary of what is inside, where things live, and standing instructions you never want an agent to miss. See Agents remember with Knowledge.
Your Knowledge Base has its own limit, counted in NOTES and separate from your Drive storage. Every note in every workspace your plan owns counts toward one shared limit:
Free: 500 notes
Pro: 10,000 notes
Max: unlimited notes
Within that limit, a single note holds up to 256 KB and the Index note holds up to 100 KB. Referring people raises the limit (500 to 750 to 1,000 notes on Free) - see referral badges.
Reaching your note limit refuses a NEW note with a clear message; it never blocks an edit and never deletes anything, so nothing you already wrote is ever lost.
Connect notes with wikilinks, backlinks, and a graph.
Write the same note with teammates in real time. Agents write notes too, so the Knowledge Base is where they persist what they learn.
Find and restore notes with search and trash.
Bring an existing vault in by importing markdown.
