About Shepherd
Summary
Shepherd builds a unified memory layer for technical teams, ingesting communications, documents, and code from tools like Slack, GitHub, Notion, and Confluence into a single indexed store. Engineers working across hardware, firmware, software, and research can trace why decisions were made and how they crossed disciplines, replacing the manual work of hunting context across disconnected systems. AI coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor can query the same memory via MCP, giving them full team context without human hand-holding.
Go-to-market
Shepherd targets B2B technical teams at hardware and software companies. It is available as a Mac app and a web app, with a direct line to the founders for early enterprise conversations.
