Proof of Usefulness Score
You're In Business

Brainmate addresses a significant and growing problem in the AI space—context fragmentation and lack of shared memory across disparate AI tools. The proposed technical architecture, notably leveraging the Model Context Protocol (MCP) alongside vector memory, shows strong innovation and excellent market timing. However, the project is entirely pre-launch with zero active revenue and a very small pilot group (2 pilot users, 1 design partner). The Proof of Usefulness score accurately reflects its promising foundational utility offset by a current lack of verifiable market traction or audience reach, placing it squarely in the early-stage/minimal traction category.

Description
BrainMate is an AI infrastructure layer that gives teams shared memory, governance, and observability across the AI tools they already use. It connects tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Lovable, Gmail, and Slack through one control layer so context persists, decisions are traceable, and every AI action can be audited.
Audience Reach
Pre-Launch. Looking for design partners and pilot users. Currently posting on my personal linkedin around 6k followers. Brainmate Page has around 30 followers.
Target Users
BrainMate is for AI-native teams/users that have moved past casual experimentation and now need control, memory, and visibility across how AI work gets done. 1. AI-native agencies and consulting firms 2. Product and engineering teams building with AI BrainMate is for teams using multiple AI tools who need one shared memory, control layer, and audit trail across all AI work.
Technologies
Other, Core Stack: TypeScript, React, Supabase/Postgres, Edge Functions, Vector Memory, OpenAI-compatible APIs, MCP (Model Context Protocol), audit logging, observability, governance controls, and workflow orchestration. Integrations & Interfaces: ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Lovable, Gmail, Telegram, Slack, Chrome Extension, REST APIs, webhooks, and MCP-compatible tools. Infrastructure Capabilities: Shared memory, context persistence, model routing, prompt/version tracking, audit trails, observability, governance policies, cost tracking, AI workflow orchestration, and cross-tool context synchronization.
Traction Evidence
Pre-Launch Currently have 2 onboarded pilot users and 1 design partner onboarded. In talks with 3-5 more pilot users and 2-4 more design partners. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/alex-scharifker-93736956_i-just-built-memory-that-works-across-every-share-7461842138176184320-nGi6/ https://www.linkedin.com/posts/most-companies-are-overspending-on-ai-by-share-7447661919622156288-ZVX7/ https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/from-chaos-to-clarity-7378112332788326400/
