The project brain for AI-native work.
Shelvia turns scattered AI work into reviewed memory your next tool can trust.
Humans approve. Tools retrieve. Agents reuse.
Nothing becomes trusted memory until reviewed.
- ChatGPT
- Claude
- Cursor
- Lovable
- Perplexity
- Notion
- GitHub
Watch one captured trace become trusted memory.
One cycle, four phases. The same motion every tool, connector, and agent traces when they touch a Shelvia project.
Capture. Review. Continue. Capture back.
AI work no longer lives in one chat in one tool. The bottleneck is no longer generating answers. It is preserving trusted context so the next human or agent continues correctly.
- 01Capture work
Import a Claude Code session, a ChatGPT thread, a Cursor diff, or a doc.
- 02Approve what matters
Nothing becomes trusted memory until a human approves it.
- 03Continue with context
Generate a source-backed pack so the next tool starts from what is true, not a cold start.
- 04Bring back what changed
Paste the result back, and Shelvia updates the project brain.
Save a Claude Code debugging session. Generate a context pack for Cursor. Cursor produces a fix. Bring the result back into Shelvia. Shelvia updates the project brain with what changed, so the next session starts from the truth, not a guess.
Nothing becomes trusted memory until reviewed.
One reviewed memory. Seven surfaces, one loop.
Capture scattered AI work, review it into project memory, hand the right context to the next tool, and bring the result back.
Capture
Bring AI work in from anywhere — paste a chat, capture from the browser, or connect GitHub, Notion, and Google Drive. Everything lands in one place.
- Chats, files, links, screenshots, and tool outputs
- Capture is always something you click — never background collection
Reviewed memory humans trust. Retrievable by tools.
Human attention is limited. Project memory should reduce what you have to hold in your head. It should also stay reachable from every tool that touches the work.
- Trust
Review-before-save memory
Imports, connector activity, and capture become candidates first. Nothing enters trusted project memory until a workspace member approves it.
How review works - Compression
Context packs + rolling summaries
Decisions, sources, prompts, next steps, and open questions are ranked and packed for the next session. Older memory compresses without inventing claims.
See the workflow - Ingestion
Connectors for the sources you already use
GitHub, Notion, and Google Drive / Docs flow through the same review queue every other write goes through. Cost guardrails and per-source state hold sync bounded.
Connector reference - Retrieval
Semantic search over reviewed memory
Hybrid keyword + vector search across decisions, sources, prompts, candidates, and summaries. Workspace boundaries are enforced at every layer.
Search reference - API + MCP
Tools retrieve approved context
REST API and MCP let tools request approved project context without bypassing review. Scoped tokens, audit logs, and rate limits per workspace.
Developer reference - SDK
TypeScript SDK for agent builds
Installable from public npm: @shelvia/sdk. Typed client wrapping projects, context, semantic search, candidates, and summaries. Writes always create review candidates.
View SDK reference - Events
Signed webhooks for downstream tools
Signed outbound delivery on candidate creation, context-pack generation, and handoffs. Retry backoff and admin test delivery from the workspace settings.
Webhook contracts - Capture
Browser Capture
User-initiated capture from ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and NotebookLM routed through the same review queue every other write goes through.
Read the concept
Humans approve. Tools retrieve. Agents reuse.
Humans approve
Imports, connector activity, and capture become review candidates first. A workspace member approves, edits, or rejects each one. Trusted memory is what survives that step.
Tools retrieve
Docs, API, MCP, SDK, and webhooks all read from the same trusted memory. Workspace boundaries hold at every layer; reads always carry provenance.
Agents reuse
External agent runtimes call Shelvia before they act, so the next session continues from approved context, not from raw chat scrollback. Shelvia remembers. Agents reuse.
Shelvia builds a reviewed project context graph — decisions, sources, prompts, tools, handoffs, and outcomes connected, so teams see where knowledge came from, how it was used, and what changed.
One reviewed memory, four ways to use it — a task-scoped pack, a decision trace, a workspace search, or the full original. You pick the strategy, and every pack states which one built it.
Not a vector dump. Not an Agent OS. Not autonomous. Structured project memory humans review before any tool sees it.
For work that cannot afford to lose its reasoning.
Different roles produce different outputs, but the shape of the problem is the same: useful context gets buried before it can become progress. Four examples below, with a full page of roles to follow.
- Founders + product builders
Keep the decisions that shaped the product.
- Investor questions, positioning shifts, and user feedback stay near the reasoning that drove them.
- Pitch drafts and the prompts that produced them stay reusable across pitches.
- Context packs let the next session start with the project, not from scratch.
- Developers + agent builders
Coding sessions don't restart from zero.
- Build notes, architecture decisions, and prompts that produced clean diffs stay in the project.
- Tools call the memory through API, MCP, or SDK, without bypassing review.
- Handoffs hand the next session a ranked context pack, not chat scrollback.
- Researchers + students
Source-first archives, not scattered citations.
- Citations stay attached to the threads that produced them.
- Cross-tool research synthesizes into a workspace, not a dozen chat sidebars.
- Open questions stay open until a source closes them.
- Teams + product builders
Shared memory with a real audit trail.
- Decisions are pinned with the author, the date, and the reasoning behind them.
- New hires onboard by reading the project, not catching up on Slack scrollback.
- Roles control who edits, who reviews, and who shares.
Return to the work with the context already connected.
Shelvia keeps decisions, sources, prompts, summaries, and next steps close to the project, so people and tools can continue from trusted memory.
Humans approve. Tools retrieve. Agents reuse.
