Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about setup, pricing, integrations, and how 1Brain handles product context.

What is 1Brain?
1Brain is an AI workspace for PMs that turns your docs, interviews, and tickets into evidence-linked PRDs, specs, and roadmaps.
How is 1Brain different from ChatGPT or Claude?
General tools are chat-first and reset context often. 1Brain is workflow-first: persistent memory, citations to your sources, and PM templates.
How does 1Brain compare to NotebookLM?
NotebookLM is strong for document Q&A. 1Brain is built for PM delivery: capture context, generate structured artifacts, and hand off to execution.
Can I use 1Brain for user interview analysis?
Yes. Upload transcripts or audio and get clustered pain points, supporting quotes, and a structured summary in minutes.
What AI models does 1Brain support?
Claude, GPT, and Gemini families are supported with smart routing to balance quality, speed, and cost.
How does the evidence citation system work?
Each factual claim is linked to source evidence (documents, quotes, or tickets), so teams can verify output quickly.
Does 1Brain support my existing PM tools?
Yes. 1Brain integrates with 25+ tools including Jira, Linear, GitHub, Confluence, Notion, Slack, Figma, Google Workspace, Miro, Productboard, and Zendesk. The Chrome Extension lets you capture context from any web-based tool in one click.
Is 1Brain safe for enterprise data?
Yes. 1Brain uses zero-retention AI providers (your data is never used for training), workspace-level Row Level Security, AES-256 encryption, and automatic PII redaction before content reaches AI providers. BYOK (Bring Your Own Keys) is supported on all plans for maximum control.
Do I need to bring my own API keys?
No. All plans include AI tokens so you can start immediately. BYOK (Bring Your Own Keys) is optional and supported on every plan if you prefer to use your own Anthropic, OpenAI, or Google API keys.
How much does 1Brain cost?
Free is $0. Starter is $6.99/month. Pro is $14.99/month with first month at $1.99. Ultra is $29.99/month. Annual billing saves ~20%.
Can I export my work?
Yes. Export artifacts in Markdown, HTML, or Word format. You can also push directly to Jira, Linear, or Notion. Your engineering team gets specs that actually reflect user research, not generic AI-generated documents.
What are Persona Copilots?
Persona Copilots are evidence-based user personas created from your actual interview data. Once generated, you can have a conversation with them: ask about pain points, objections to your MVP, adoption likelihood, and more. Every response is grounded in real user quotes and research, so you get realistic, data-backed feedback without scheduling another call.
