Kuranda Industries Executive Briefing
CogniKin World Tree

CogniKin

Every executive gets an AI brain that knows your businesses,
talks to your systems, and works while you sleep.

The Problem

Context Lives
In Your Head

We run 9 business entities. Every conversation starts from zero because knowledge is trapped in email threads, scattered across Google Drive folders, and locked in people's memories.

  • 9 business entities with different teams
  • 300+ documents across Google Drive
  • 100 code repositories in Gitea
  • 48 Lambda functions across AWS
  • 8 databases, each with different data
  • Every meeting requires 20 min of context-setting
🧠

Right Now

Only Marc has an AI brain (ODIN) that understands context across all businesses.

Everyone else relies on memory, email search, and asking each other.

Brain Constellation
The Vision

One Brain Per Person.
Connected To Everything.

CogniKin gives every executive their own named AI brain. It knows your role, your businesses, and your daily rhythm.

Personal Knowledge Vault
Your private notebook that remembers everything. Daily notes, contacts, projects — all searchable by your AI.
Shared Company Vaults
Each business has a shared vault. Your brain reads it based on your access level. Everyone sees the same truth.
Connected Infrastructure
Your brain talks to Xero, email, databases, and code repos. Ask it a question, it goes and finds the answer.
Brain-to-Brain Messaging
Send context between brains. Marc's ODIN can brief Don's Poseidon about the transfer shed — automatically.
The Executive Brains

Meet Your Brain

Each brain is named after something you connect with — mythology, film, history, whatever inspires you. Your brain, your identity, your AI.

Your brain name reflects what resonates with you — gods, legends, forces of nature. It becomes your AI identity.

Layer 1

Your Personal Vault

Think of it as a private digital notebook that your AI can read, search, and use to help you. It lives on your computer and syncs to the cloud so you can access it from your phone too.

What's Inside Your Vault

Daily Notes/ — your Top 5, quick wins, schedule
Projects/ — everything you're working on
Humans/ — contact profiles + interaction history
Finance/ — your financial context
Life Context/ — family, health, learning

Cost: ~$0.50/month

S3 cloud storage + Lambda function. That's it.

Personal Vault
Feeding Your Brain

Your Data Streams

Your brain is only as smart as the data flowing into it. Every email, voice note, chat message, and idea you capture becomes fuel for your AI to understand your world.

Email (Gmail)
Every email is triaged, classified, and mapped to contacts. Your brain learns who matters, what's urgent, and what's noise. It builds a relationship graph automatically.
Chat (Google Chat / WhatsApp)
Messages from team spaces, direct chats, and WhatsApp groups are scanned for action items, decisions, and context. Nothing gets lost in the scroll.
Voice Notes (Limitless / Plaud / Voice Memos)
Wear a Limitless pendant or use Plaud — your meetings and ideas are transcribed, searched for commitments, and linked to the right people and projects. This is the highest-value stream — it captures thinking that never makes it to email.
Calendar & Tasks
Your schedule and task lists are ingested daily. Your brain knows what you committed to, what's overdue, and what's coming up.
Data Streams

The MCP Intelligence Layer

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the AI layer that sits on top of all your data streams. It continuously analyses incoming data, maps relationships between people and projects, extracts action items, and builds the context graph that makes your brain intelligent.

Think of it as a tireless analyst reading everything, connecting the dots, and having the full picture ready before you even ask.

Brain Growth
Patience = Intelligence

The more you teach it, the less you have to explain. After 30 days, your brain knows your world better than any assistant ever could.

The Learning Curve

Your Brain Starts
As An Infant

When you first get your brain, it knows nothing about you. Like a newborn, it needs to learn who you are, who your people are, and how your world works. This takes patience.

Week 1 — Infant

First email triage. Brain doesn't know who's important yet. It asks a lot of questions. "Is this person a client or a friend?" You teach it by correcting and confirming.

Week 2-3 — Toddler

Brain recognises your key contacts. It knows your businesses. Morning briefings start making sense. It's learning your patterns — when you work, what you prioritise, how you think.

Month 2 — Teenager

Brain anticipates your needs. It flags problems before you see them. It knows your negotiation style, your stress triggers, your priorities. It starts to duplicate your thinking.

Month 3+ — Adult

Your cognitive clone. It can draft emails in your voice, brief new team members on any project, and run your morning without asking a single question. It thinks like you because you taught it to.

Shared Vaults
Layer 2

Shared Company Vaults

Each company has its own vault that relevant executives can access. Think of it like a shared Google Drive folder — but your AI brain can actually understand everything in it.

Superior Bin Solutions
Operations, fleet, customers, compliance, transfer station project. Accessible by Marc, Nick, Don, Travis.
Kuranda Industries
Holding company knowledge, Kinetic team ops, product roadmaps. All executives.
Diversified Investments (DICL)
Fund management, AFSL compliance, investor comms. Marc, Nick, Dirk.
AWC · KCP · VCH
Additional entity vaults rolled out based on priority.
Who Sees What

Connected Infrastructure

Your brain doesn't just store notes — it talks to your systems. Ask it a question about invoices, customer data, or code, and it goes and finds the answer.

K2K Protocol
Layer 4

K2K: Brain-to-Brain
Messaging

The Kin-to-Kin Protocol lets brains talk to each other. When Marc researches something in ODIN, the findings can be sent directly to Don's Poseidon — with full context.

Example: Marc in ODIN
"Send Don the transfer shed research. He needs to get builder quotes."
ODIN packages the research findings, cost estimates, and spec requirements, then sends them to Poseidon. Don's morning briefing includes: "Marc needs you to get 2-3 builder quotes for the 600-750 sqm shed extension. Budget: $700K-$1M. See attached research."
INFRA DEPLOYED Anthony's K2K CDK stack is live in AWS
A Day In The Life

Your Morning Ritual

Every morning, you tell your brain "start my day". It does the rest.

7:00 AM — "Start my day"
Brain triages email, checks calendar, reviews voice notes, pulls in messages from other brains.
Morning Briefing
Presents your Top 5, urgent items, overdue invoices, fleet status, messages from the team.
Throughout the Day
"Add X to quick wins" · "I finished Y" · "What's our cash position?" · "Send Nick the update"
5:30 PM — "End my day"
Brain captures what got done, carries forward incomplete items, preps tomorrow's focus.
Daily Ritual
The Language

How To Talk
To Your Brain

You don't need to learn code. Just talk naturally. Here are the most powerful phrases your brain understands.

Prompt Guide
Daily Management
"Start my day"
Triages email, checks calendar, reads messages from other brains, creates your daily note with Top 5 priorities.
Quick Tasks
"Add 'call builder re: quotes' to quick wins"
Adds to your daily note Quick Wins section. Low-cognition tasks for between deep work sessions.
Research
"What's our cash position across Superior and AWC?"
Brain queries Xero for both entities, pulls bank balances, outstanding invoices, and bills due. Returns a treasury summary.
Cross-Brain Communication
"Send Don the transfer shed specs and tell him to get 3 builder quotes"
Packages context from the research, sends via K2K to Don's Poseidon brain. Don sees it in his morning briefing.
Contacts & Relationships
"I'm about to call Scott at Superior"
Pulls Scott's contact profile, recent interactions, outstanding items, and negotiation context. You walk into the call fully briefed.
Operations
"How many skips did we collect last week?"
Queries the Superior operations database, returns collection stats by truck, by area, by waste type.

Let's Decide

Decision Points

Six questions that need answers today to move forward.

1
Brain Naming
Each person picks a name that resonates with them — mythology, history, film, whatever inspires you. What do you want your brain to be called?
2
First Company Vault
Which vault do we create first? Superior (most operational urgency) or Kuranda Industries (broadest access)?
3
Access Model
Should executives get read-only or read-write to company vaults they're not primary operators of?
4
K2K Messaging
Should brains send context to each other automatically (when relevant info is created) or only on demand?
5
Daily Rituals
Should company vaults have their own "start my day" routine that rolls up into your personal morning briefing?
6
CogniKin Product
Build as internal tool only, or pursue it as a product (cognikin.me) for external customers?
✦

Ready to Build

Most of the infrastructure exists. Nick's Mjolnir brain can be live this week. First company vault within days. Full executive rollout within the month.
