Usable

Shared organisational memory and AI knowledge base that gives teams and AI agents governed, searchable context.

Freemium

What is Usable?

Usable is an organisational memory and AI knowledge base where teams store procedures, decisions, runbooks, files and solved problems in workspaces they control. People and approved AI tools then search that material, so answers come from the organisation's own sources instead of scattered chats. Knowledge is saved as fragments with a type, tags and relationships, and a graph view helps surface links between them. AI agents and coding assistants connect through Usable Chat, a remote MCP server or a REST API, and each workspace has role-based access. Consultancies, public bodies and development or DevOps teams use it to keep standards and lessons reusable. Usable has a Free plan, plus Standard at $20 per month and Pro at $100 per month, with extra usage billed per credit.
