An AI agent on its own knows only what is in the current conversation. However just like humans, agents produce their best work if they have context on the goals, decisions, history, and future plans. Hyperspell provides that context to agents. When you connect an agent to Hyperspell, it can query the company brain to get grounded answers, with a paper trail of where the information came from.

​
System Prompts

We recommend using an additional system prompt to guide the agent’s behavior.

Use Hyperspell before starting a new task

You can add this to your Instructions for Claude in the personal settings. Admins can also add this to the Organization instructions at claude.ai. Additionally, you can add your agent’s work, decisions, and insights into the brain to save it for later.

Use Hyperspell and save decisions to the brain

​
Agents act as you

Every agent you connect acts with your identity and your permissions. It sees the documents you can see: everything shared with the organization plus your own personal data. It cannot reach a colleague’s private inbox any more than you can. See Permissions for the model behind this. Admins can also create organization-wide API keys for agents that are not tied to a person, such as an internal bot. Those see only content shared with everyone. Configuration covers when to use which.

Choose your setup

Claude

Claude on the web, Claude Desktop, and Cowork. One-click connector, sign in with your Hyperspell account.

ChatGPT

ChatGPT on the web and desktop, as a custom connector.

MCP clients

Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and any other agent that supports MCP.

Command line tool

Keep a Markdown copy of the brain on your machine for coding agents, and ask questions from the terminal.
Slack. If your organization uses Slack, an admin can also install the Hyperspell assistant in your workspace. Mention it in a channel or send it a direct message to ask the brain a question without leaving Slack. It appears as an option in Connect Agents once your Slack integration is connected. This is separate from the Slack integration that indexes your messages.

Tips for getting good answers

  • Ask the way you would ask a colleague. “Who is the point of contact at Acme?” works better than a keyword list.
  • Mention names and dates when you have them. The brain resolves people, projects, and time ranges, so “what did Ben say about the migration in June” narrows things down a lot.
  • Ask for sources when it matters. Answers cite the documents they came from, and you can open any of them in the dashboard.
  • If an agent seems to ignore the brain, check that the connector is enabled for the current chat. Claude and ChatGPT both let you turn connectors on and off per conversation.
