Features

Capture Knowledge From Everywhere

Kioku integrates with the tools you already use, automatically capturing architectural decisions without changing how your team works.

Slack Integration

Automatically detect architectural discussions in your Slack channels. Kioku identifies decision-making conversations and captures them with full thread context.

GitHub PR Mining

Extract decisions embedded in PR descriptions, review comments, and issue discussions. Never lose context buried in closed PRs again.

Meeting Intelligence

Upload meeting transcripts or connect your recording tool. Kioku extracts key technical decisions and action items automatically.

Semantic Search

Ask questions in plain English. "Why did we choose PostgreSQL?" returns the exact decision, discussion context, and participants involved.

Decision Timeline

Visualize how your architecture evolved over time. See which decisions superseded others and understand the full decision chain.

Team Onboarding

Generate personalized onboarding paths. New engineers get a curated tour of the decisions most relevant to their projects and role.

How It Works

Three Steps to Institutional Memory

Get started in minutes. Kioku works in the background so your team can focus on building.

01

Connect Your Tools

Link Slack, GitHub, and meeting platforms with one-click OAuth. Kioku starts monitoring for architectural discussions across all your channels.

02

Decisions Auto-Captured

AI identifies and structures decisions into Architecture Decision Records (ADRs) with context, reasoning, alternatives, and consequences.

03

Search & Discover

Ask questions in natural language. Get instant answers with full decision history, participant context, and related discussions.

See Decisions in Action

Every decision is captured with full context — who made it, why, what alternatives were considered, and what the consequences are.

Use PostgreSQL with pgvector for Semantic Search

Context

We need to implement semantic search across millions of code snippets and documentation. Traditional full-text search isn't sufficient for understanding user intent and returning contextually relevant results.

Decision

Use PostgreSQL with the pgvector extension for vector similarity search, combined with OpenAI embeddings for vectorization of all content.

Consequences

+Single database for all data reduces operational complexity
-Need to manage embeddings generation pipeline
+Lower cost than a dedicated vector database service

Loved by Engineering Teams

See how teams are using Kioku to preserve their institutional knowledge and accelerate onboarding.

We cut our onboarding time from 6 months to 3 weeks. New engineers can understand years of architectural decisions in days, not months.

Sarah Chen

VP of Engineering at ScaleOps

Every time someone asked "why did we build it this way?", we'd spend hours searching Slack. Now it takes 30 seconds with Kioku.

Marcus Rodriguez

Staff Engineer at Dataflow

Kioku is like having the institutional memory of your most senior engineer, available 24/7. It's become essential to how we work.
