Swan Brain
A dashboard for building personal, private knowledge brains from everything you're learning — then showing what you know, where it came from, what's missing, and what to think about next.
In the app
Swan Brain command center
Real screens from the Swan Brain app — your private intelligence repo for ingesting sources, asking grounded questions, and deciding what to explore next.
Command center — your private intelligence repo
More than summarisation — a brain you can actually use
Most tools turn your reading into disposable summaries. Swan Brain is built for people who need to think over time: founders, researchers, students, policy people, and anyone building real expertise in a domain.
Feed it videos, PDFs, articles, podcasts, transcripts, books, chat logs, notes and research dumps. It produces searchable knowledge, source-linked reports, questions, hypotheses, learning plans and project-specific intelligence — with one question at the centre: what should I think about next?
What you feed it
Everything you're already collecting
Documents & notes
PDFs, articles, books, transcripts, chat logs and your own notes — structured for retrieval, not lost in folders.
Links & media
YouTube, podcasts, research dumps and screenshots — fed in as sources, not scattered bookmarks.
Projects
Separate brains for separate work — a thesis, a startup, a course, a legal matter — without cross-contamination.
What it produces
Intelligence you can act on
- Searchable knowledge with source links
- Insight reports and structured summaries
- Questions, hypotheses and debate maps
- Learning plans and content drafts
- Project-specific intelligence over time
What you know
A living map of the ideas, facts and arguments you've collected — not a pile of highlights.
Where it came from
Every claim traceable to a source. No mystery summaries that can't be checked.
What's missing
Honest gap analysis — what you haven't covered yet, and what would strengthen your thinking.
What to explore next
The killer feature: not just summarisation, but direction — what to read, test, or decide next.
