What is the Vault?

The Vault is Ospri Brain’s knowledge base. It stores documents, presentations, spreadsheets, images, and any file your team needs — and makes everything searchable by the Brain AI through semantic vector search. Think of it as a smart file system that understands the content of every document.

Key Concepts

Vaults

Vaults are top-level containers that organize your files by domain: You can create additional vaults by clicking New vault in the sidebar and entering a slug (e.g., my-research, q3-2026).

Brain Access

Each vault and individual file can be toggled for Brain Access:
  • ON (default) — The Brain AI can search and cite this content
  • OFF — Content is stored but invisible to the AI
When Brain Access is off for a vault, a “NO AI” badge appears next to its name.

Shared vs. Private

  • Shared vaults (database icon) — Accessible by all team members
  • Private vaults (lock icon) — Only accessible by you

Layout

The Vault has three panels:

Each vault in the sidebar has a hover dropdown with these options:

Select multiple files using checkboxes, and a bulk action bar appears: The bar shows a count like “3 selected” with an X to clear selection.

Pending Indexing

When files are uploaded but not yet indexed by the AI, an amber notification appears:
“X file(s) pending AI indexing”
Files are automatically indexed in the background. Once complete, the Brain can search their content.
