SHAMPOO

Shared Human-Agent-Model Platform for Orchestration & Operations

Persistent memory for people and AI that you control.

SHAMPOO gives people, agents and models shared durable memory, tasks, context and orchestration, without turning your organisation's working knowledge into somebody else's SaaS account.

The SHAMPOO mark: two rope strands bound into a single knot

The problem

Context does not survive the way work does.

Nothing here is exotic. It is the ordinary cost of working with models, agents and people across time.

  • Context windows end

    A model holds only what fits in front of it. Everything else has to be re-supplied, every time.

  • Chats close

    A conversation is a transcript, not a record. When it scrolls away, the reasoning goes with it.

  • Agents restart

    A fresh run begins blank: no open questions, no prior findings, no idea what was already tried.

  • People move on

    Shifts change, projects change, machines change. The working knowledge should not have to.

  • Work is rediscovered

    The same vendor detail, constraint or dead end gets established again by somebody or something else.

  • Decisions lose history

    The outcome survives in a document; who agreed, and why, usually does not.

SHAMPOO gives the work somewhere durable to live, shared by the people, agents and models that touch it.

Human + agent + model

Separate strands, one structure.

Each participant keeps its own identity and its own authorisation. The work they produce is bound together and stays.

Separate strands in, one durable structure out

Who works in SHAMPOO, and what their work becomes.

  • Human
  • Agent
  • Model
  • Automation
SHAMPOO
  • Memory
  • Tasks
  • Knowledge
  • Sessions
  • Decisions
  • Workflows
People, agents, models and automations keep their own identity; SHAMPOO binds their work into one durable structure.

What it gives you

Durable memory, resumable work, recorded decisions.

Memory that survives the conversation

What people and agents learn is written down once and can be recalled later, by whoever picks the work up next.

Technical detail
Durable knowledge is held as entities, observations and typed relations. Entities are unique by name, facts accumulate as observations, and structure accumulates as relations. Nothing is physically deleted: retirement is a lifecycle state, and retired knowledge can revive with its original creation evidence intact.

Work that agents can resume

Tasks and notes live outside the chat, so a fresh session can see what is ready, what is in progress and what is finished.

Technical detail
Tasks carry an explicit lifecycle (not started, in progress, done, archived, cancelled), and every transition preserves history rather than overwriting it. Notes use the same storage without actionable state. Digests and ready views compile the current work set deterministically.

Shared context without shared chaos

A new session can be brought up to speed with the relevant work, recent history and open questions instead of starting blank.

Technical detail
Context is compiled by the platform: ready and prime views, digests, session recall and context packs. Compilation is deterministic, so the same state produces the same orientation for any client.

Human decisions remain part of the record

When people answer a question or agree an approach, that answer is stored alongside the work rather than lost in a thread.

Technical detail
Agents can queue clarifications for humans and record the answers as durable material. Structured debate captures competing positions; quorum records an agreement with named participants. Inbound material can require review before it becomes agreed state.

Separate boundaries where separation matters

A profile keeps one body of organisational memory separate from another, so private work and shared work do not silently merge.

Technical detail
Each profile is an independently authorised storage and security boundary. A connection selects one profile at handshake and the session stays bound to it. Inside a profile, principals hold an explicit project grant list; ungranted content reads as absent rather than denied, so foreign projects cannot be probed by name.

Orchestration beyond simple chat

Work can be organised into streams that different people and agents claim, complete and hand over, without everyone being online at once.

Technical detail
Jobs are claimable units of work with explicit completion and release. Lanes group work into reviewable streams with their own state and merge step. Recurring timers and delivery jobs are materialised by a separate mechanism that transports work but makes no decisions.

Ownership

Software, not another memory cloud.

SHAMPOO is purchased software that you install and operate. It is not a subscription service where your organisation's working memory lives in somebody else's account.

  • Runs on one suitable server, an office server, a VM, a private datacentre or customer-controlled hosted infrastructure.
  • Internet access is not inherently required for SHAMPOO to remember, organise and serve your own information.
  • Already run MariaDB? Good. If you don't, we can install and configure it for you.

Deployment requirement

SHAMPOO + MariaDB

One suitable server is enough to start. You choose where it runs, who can reach it and how it is backed up.

For technical readers

What is actually there.

A central service, a thin workstation adapter, MariaDB persistence and 107 documented tools.

Native service
A central authoritative service holds the tools, their semantics, authorisation decisions and persistence.
MariaDB-backed persistence
Durable storage sits in MariaDB on infrastructure you control, reached only from the central host.
MCP interface
Assistants and machine clients speak MCP, so existing tooling connects without a bespoke integration.
Profiles as boundaries
Each profile is an independently authorised memory boundary; a session is bound to the profile it opened in.
Session handling
Short-lived session credentials renew automatically; revocation takes effect on the very next operation.
Secure remote spoke
A deliberately thin workstation adapter handles local traffic and secure transport, and holds no authority of its own.
Documented tools
107 documented tools across twelve categories, each with arguments, results, boundaries, lifecycle and errors.
Deterministic documentation gates
Documentation completeness is machine-checked against the implementation, so pages and behaviour cannot drift apart.
Deployment under your control
You choose the host, the network position and the backup regime. Nothing is required to leave your environment.

Licensing

Four licence scopes, no per-seat arithmetic.

An authenticated principal may be an agent, a human-facing client, an automation or a service, so a licence is scoped to people and places, not logins.
