Never Lose the Why Behind a Decision
Kioku captures the decisions your team makes and the reasoning behind them as structured records. When people move on or projects evolve, the context stays, searchable and ready when someone asks why you chose what you chose.
Powerful Features
Structured Decision Capture
Record each decision as an ADR with Context, Options, Decision, Rationale, and Consequences. Capture not just what you chose, but the alternatives you weighed and the tradeoffs you accepted.
- ADR-style structured records
- Context, options, and rationale
- Consequences and tradeoffs
- Alternatives kept on record
AI Structure From Free Text
Paste a rough note, a Slack thread, or a few sentences and Kioku turns it into a clean, structured decision record so capturing context never becomes a chore.
- Structure this from free text
- Rough notes to clean ADRs
- Less manual formatting
- Capture in the moment
Semantic Search and Grounded Recall
Ask why did we choose X and get an answer grounded in your actual decisions. Semantic search finds the right record by meaning, not just keywords.
- Natural language questions
- Grounded why did we choose X
- Search by meaning
- Answers cite real decisions
Timeline, Tags, and Export
Organize decisions by project, tag, and timeline so you can follow how thinking evolved, then export any record as ADR markdown to live alongside your code.
- Decision timeline view
- Tags, projects, and filters
- Track how thinking evolved
- Export as ADR markdown
