AI, knowledge, and work

Give AI useful organizational context while preserving attribution, permissions, and review.

Context from the organization

The workspace conversation assembles context from the ontology, available tools, and readable organizational knowledge. Permissions shape what the assistant can retrieve and do. The conversation can help investigate a question or author a draft; promotion and execution still follow their own gates.

Operators configure named model profiles and control which profiles users may invoke. Compatible external agents can use the same organization through the authenticated operation API or MCP, without routing those deterministic operations through nondro's own model.

Knowledge with a subject

A useful knowledge record explains a decision, definition, constraint, or working observation and identifies what it is about. Attribution and provenance help another person judge the claim. Publication determines who may read it; it does not establish that the claim is true.

From an object's Knowledge area, open its readable notes or choose Add a note when you have contribution authority. The Knowledge shortcut opens the broader library. Keep a note focused enough to understand and review without needing the entire original conversation.

Work that can continue

Work threads retain an objective, participants, progress, and checkpoints. Use Continue working to reopen visible work, or All work to find additional threads. A released handoff shows its progress before another participant explicitly takes it.

When referenced knowledge changes, a checkpoint can require review before work continues. Update the progress against the current records instead of assuming an older summary still applies. Reliable continuation depends on relevant source material, recorded context, and an authorized connection.

Sharing and external agents

Knowledge audiences and external-recipient permissions are separate boundaries. An agent connection stays within its selected resources and permissions, and the destination must be eligible to receive the knowledge. Existing permissions are not enlarged by connecting another AI client.

Selected notes can be imported as private candidates through the agent API. Sharing them requires the applicable publication authority and audience review. Confirm a save or handoff through a successful operation receipt; a model's statement alone is not evidence that nondro recorded it.
