Your teams are already using AI. MemBrain gives you visibility, data protection, and cost control — without slowing anyone down. One gateway between every employee and every model, with the memory, routing, and threat detection a real brain needs.
Cognitive Functions
LLMs generate language. MemBrain provides everything else a brain needs — and every function talks to every other.
Every AI response auto-extracts knowledge entries with semantic dedup — like a hippocampus for your AI stack. Past conversations enrich new prompts. Your organization builds long-term memory from every interaction.
25+ PII patterns plus ML NER fire on every request — an amygdala-like reflex that triggers before caching, before logging, before the LLM sees anything. Your cache keys and audit trail are always clean.
Tool policy enforcement, rate limits, budget caps, and compliance rules. The prefrontal cortex of your AI stack — deliberate, rule-based decisions about what actions are permitted.
Privacy-based routing sends sensitive requests to local models. Cost-based routing picks the cheapest provider that fits. Like the thalamus directing signals to the right brain region.
A periodic background process replays your knowledge store — like sleep cycles for your AI. Marks stale entries, deduplicates near-matches, prunes low-quality memories. Your knowledge strengthens over time.
Not keyword search — pattern-matched recall. Relevant knowledge is found by meaning and injected as context into every prompt. The more you use AI, the richer the recall.

Real-time visibility into every AI interaction across your organization.
Multi-Layer Architecture
Every brain has specialized regions. MemBrain gives each layer of your organization its own — all protected by IT Brain.
Your personal threat detection catches PII before it leaves your machine. Your own memory builds a private knowledge base. Your own judgment enforces personal policies. You control what flows up to the team.
Sales, Engineering, Legal — each team gets its own brain with shared memory, specialized policies, and scoped knowledge. Teams think independently while the org thinks together.
The org-wide protective layer. IT Brain sets threat detection, compliance policies, and budgets across every team and personal brain. Full audit trail, zero sensitive data exposure to external models.
Why MemBrain
Other tools bolt plugins onto the model. MemBrain builds cognitive functions that work together.

FAQ
Everything you need to know about getting started.
LiteLLM and Portkey are model-first — they route to models and bolt on plugins. MemBrain is cognitive-first — memory, threat detection, judgment, and routing are integrated cognitive functions that share state. Threat detection informs routing. Responses build memory. Memory enriches future prompts. These integrations only work inside one cognitive system.
No. MemBrain works as a drop-in proxy. Point your existing OpenAI or Anthropic SDK at the MemBrain gateway URL. For org-wide protection, deploy at the network level with a DNS override — no code changes, no agent installs, every AI tool covered.
OpenAI, Anthropic, and Ollama are supported natively. With the optional LiteLLM integration, you get access to 100+ models including Azure OpenAI, Google Gemini, AWS Bedrock, and more.
LLMs like GPT and Claude are the creative cortex — they generate language. But a real brain has memory (hippocampus), threat detection (amygdala), judgment (prefrontal cortex), and routing (thalamus). MemBrain provides these missing cognitive functions as software infrastructure. We call it a cognitive layer because it adds cognition around the model, not just a passthrough in front of it.
Yes. The Community tier is free forever and includes the core proxy, PII detection, dashboard, rate limits, budgets, caching, and full audit trail. Enterprise features require a license.
The Enterprise trial lasts 30 days with full access to every feature. No credit card required. After the trial, you can continue using the Community tier for free or upgrade.
