Are CentralBrain (centralbrain.io) and Central Brain by NeuroAIgent the same?
No. CentralBrain at centralbrain.io describes itself as "an AI agent platform for work," and its domain now redirects to employAIgents. Central Brain by NeuroAIgent is a local-first AI memory layer: a Windows and Apple silicon Mac desktop app that gives assistants such as Claude and GitHub Copilot memory and file search over MCP. The companies are not affiliated.
What is CentralBrain (centralbrain.io)?
According to its own published overview at centralbrain.io/llms.txt, CENTRALBRAIN is "an AI agent platform for work." It connects company applications through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) so that agents can use workspace context and carry out approved actions. Its own description says it "runs daily workflows and Workforce employees with a clear contract: goal, constraints, allowed tools, success tests, and human approval gates," and that it "captures every agent action with audit proof."
The centralbrain.io domain currently redirects to employaigents.com. There, the product is presented as employAIgents, which offers "AIgents," described as AI employees for support, ops, finance, sales and marketing that "pause for your approval before anything leaves the building." Its MCP overview page lists sovereignty options of "shared cloud, isolated private cloud, and customer-approved region."
For current and authoritative details, see centralbrain.io. NeuroAIgent has no relationship with that company and does not speak for it.
What is Central Brain by NeuroAIgent?
Central Brain is NeuroAIgent's local-first AI memory layer. It is a Windows and Apple silicon Mac desktop app that indexes your project files locally and makes that knowledge available to the AI assistants you already use. It does not include its own chat model. Instead, it sits beside Claude Desktop, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot and the ChatGPT desktop app and gives them memory and file search.
Central Brain runs as a local MCP memory server. Connected assistants can recall saved notes, save new checkpoints such as decisions and to-dos, search your files by meaning or exact text, and read and list project files. File access tools are read-only, and the memory tools can be written to by design.
In the default workflow, original files, prepared text, the local vector store and memory notes stay on storage you choose. Embeddings run locally. The app contacts Keygen for license activation and a check every 14 days. Keygen receives licensing and device data, not documents. Central Brain is also listed on the Microsoft Store.
