Keep what your team knows, even when people move on.

Memora captures the decisions and reasoning that live in everyday work — threads, pull requests, tickets, docs and meetings — and keeps them connected, so the next person can find the full story without asking around.

Why did we split billing out of the main service?

Answer

Billing was split out to allow independent deploys after repeated release conflicts. The trade-offs were discussed in #platform, proposed in PR #311 and recorded in ADR-004.

Knowledge walks out the door.

Most of what a team knows is never written down in one place. It lives in people’s heads and in conversations spread across tools — until someone leaves, and it is gone.

Context leaves with people

When a long-tenured teammate moves on, the reasons behind years of decisions often go with them.

Old debates come back

Without the original reasoning, teams re-argue settled questions and sometimes repeat the mistakes that led to them.

Wikis fall behind

Documentation written by hand goes stale quickly, so people stop trusting it and go back to asking around.

How it works.

Memora builds the record from work your team is already doing. Nobody has to write a wiki page.

  1. Connect where work happens

    Link Slack, GitHub, Jira, Notion, Google Drive, meeting transcripts and more.

  2. Decisions stay connected

    Memora links each decision to the discussion, code and tickets around it, and keeps that history as work continues.

  3. Anyone can ask why

    New and existing teammates ask in plain language and get an answer with the original sources linked.

In practice.

How teams put this to work day to day.

Handover without the gaps

When someone changes roles, the context behind their work is already captured and searchable.

Ask Memora“What were the open trade-offs on the data pipeline?”

Onboarding new hires

New teammates find the reasoning behind systems and processes on their own, instead of waiting for a walkthrough.

Ask Memora“Why do we use two queues for notifications?”

Architecture reviews

Check what was decided before, and why, before proposing a change that undoes it.

Ask Memora“Have we tried moving auth to the edge before?”

What your team gets.

  • Less time re-asking

    Answers to “why did we…?” questions are a search away, with sources.

  • Safer turnover

    Decisions and their reasoning stay with the team, not with individuals.

  • Decision records from real work

    Memora can draft architecture decision records from merged pull requests and the discussions behind them.

  • No new process

    Your team keeps working in the tools it already uses.

Common questions.

What is organizational memory?
It is the shared record of what a team has decided, built and learned — including the reasoning behind it — kept in a form that people can find and trust later.
How is this different from a Confluence or Notion wiki?
A wiki depends on people writing and updating pages by hand. Memora builds the record from the conversations, code, tickets and documents your team already produces, and keeps linking new work as it happens.
Does Memora replace our documentation?
No. Your documents become one of the sources Memora connects. Memora links them to the discussions and work around them, so readers can see the context behind a page.

Keep the why behind your work.
