What is SecondBrain?

SecondBrain is Genspark's personal knowledge and memory system — a unified hub that learns from your emails, meetings, files, and connected apps to give your AI a deep, personalized context about you and your work.

  • Connect your data — with your permission, SecondBrain links to everything you already use: your email, calendar, chat history, meeting notes, external platforms, and more. It all becomes your personal context layer
  • Retrieve your SecondBrain data in Super Agent — once connected, Super Agent has the full picture of who you are and how you work. This means smarter answers, more personalized actions, and a real edge whenever you need to pull together, organize, or make sense of information from multiple sources

Quick Start

  • Open SecondBrain from its dedicated website or from the Genspark home page
  • Connect at least one data source — your email, calendar, or an uploaded file is a good place to start
  • Once connected, SecondBrain begins building your personal context layer automatically
  • Head to the Genspark home page and open Super Agent — it will now draw on your SecondBrain data to give smarter, more personalized responses

Feature Guide

Step 1 — Collect Your Data

SecondBrain pulls in your information from several sources:

  • Genspark projects — auto-saves all your past Genspark activity, including AI Meeting Notes
  • Connected tools — sync data automatically from all your sources
  • File upload — manually upload documents, spreadsheets, or personal files directly into your memory

Step 2 — Connect Your Tools

To connect a data source:

  • From the SecondBrain homepage, click Connect next to the tool you want to add
  • Follow the authorization steps for that service
  • Once connected, data begins syncing automatically in the background

Supported integrations: Gmail, Google Calendar, Outlook, Slack, Notion, HubSpot, Salesforce, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and more.

Step 3 — Put Your SecondBrain to Work

Head to the Genspark homepage. From there, Super Agent can tap into all the memory, files, and data in your SecondBrain to get work done for you.

FAQ

Q: Do I need the SecondBrain Note hardware to use SecondBrain?

No. SecondBrain is the software memory system — connect your apps and use in-app AI Meeting Notes with no device at all. The SecondBrain Note hardware is just one optional input channel for capturing in-person conversations.

Q: What's the difference between SecondBrain and SecondBrain Note?

SecondBrain is the software: it links your data sources into a personal memory layer that Super Agent can draw on. SecondBrain Note is the physical recording device that feeds in-person meetings into that memory. You can use SecondBrain fully without the hardware. For more on SecondBrain Note, see shop.genspark.ai.

Q: How soon does my connected data show up in SecondBrain?

Some integrations sync on a schedule rather than instantly, so allow a few minutes after connecting. If data is still missing after several minutes, disconnect and reconnect the source from the Home page.

Q: What data sources can I connect to SecondBrain?

SecondBrain supports a growing list of connectors: email providers, calendars, messaging platforms, CRM tools, productivity suites, cloud storage, and manually uploaded files.

Q: Is my data private and secure?

SecondBrain may handle highly sensitive personal context — your emails, meetings, files, and conversations — so security and privacy are core product considerations. Genspark maintains an enterprise-grade security framework and is certified with SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001. Your SecondBrain data is only accessible to you. Connected integrations require your explicit authorization and can be disconnected at any time from the Home page.
