Executive Summary

Knowledge workers today—roughly 200 million people—lose time and make poorer decisions because their information is fragmented across email, Slack, drives, wiki pages, CRM entries, and local files. The pain is quantifiable: using a $30.0B addressable market assumption (200M x $150/yr) reflects repeated search, duplication, and context-switching costs that teams and individuals feel every day. You could build an AI-powered "memory browser" that ingests heterogeneous sources, generates LLM embeddings and vector indexes, and exposes a single semantic search and assistant interface that summarizes, cites sources, and surfaces context-aware timelines for both personal and team modes. Core product elements would be resilient connectors, relevance tuning, hybrid-local/encrypted storage options, real-time sync, and an SDK so the assistant embeds natively into workflows rather than acting as a separate search box. The market is attractive now because embeddings, vector search and managed vector DBs have matured and inference costs have fallen, while user expectations for assistants that synthesize content (not just surface links) are rising; those dynamics support a market score of 92/100 and a revenue potential of 88/100. Hybrid work trends further increase demand for persistent, shared memory—buyers are willing to pay when a tool demonstrably saves time or prevents costly errors, which is why our TAM assumption uses a modest $150/user/year. To stand out you must prioritize trust (client-side encryption, fine-grained ACLs), build and maintain best-in-class connectors, invest in transparent relevance evaluation and low-latency retrieval, and integrate deeply into the apps teams already use so the assistant becomes part of workflow. This is a promising opportunity if you can commit early to integration and privacy engineering, but expect ongoing connector maintenance, data-governance complexity, and strong competition from incumbents—pursue it only if you can demonstrate clear ROI and a defensible data-layer advantage.

Market Opportunity

Fragmented knowledge retrieval — unified AI-powered memory browser targets a $30.0B = 200M knowledge workers x $150/yr total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 18% CAGR (knowledge management & AI augmentation).

Key trends driving demand: LLM embeddings & vector search -- enable fast semantic retrieval across heterogeneous personal data; Hybrid work -- increases distributed knowledge and the need for persistent personal/team memory; Rise of AI assistants in workflow apps -- users expect AI to synthesize, not just surface links; Privacy & data portability -- drives demand for private-first, exportable personal knowledge stores.

Key competitors include Mem, Obsidian, Notion, Readwise, Microsoft 365 (Copilot/Graph-powered search).
