## Overview
Brainy's augmentation system is a powerful, extensible framework that enhances your vector + graph database with AI-powered capabilities. Think of augmentations as "sensory organs" for the atomic age brain-in-jar system.
### Key Concepts
- **Pipeline Architecture**: 8 categories of augmentations that process data in sequence
- **Dual Execution**: Augmentations can run automatically in pipelines OR be called directly
- **Universal Compatibility**: Free, open source, premium, and custom augmentations all work together
- **Neural Import**: The default AI-powered augmentation that comes with every installation
### Augmentation Categories
1. **SENSE** - Input processing and data understanding (Neural Import lives here)
2. **CONDUIT** - External system integrations and sync (Notion, Salesforce, etc.)
3. **COGNITION** - AI reasoning and analysis
4. **MEMORY** - Enhanced storage and retrieval
5. **PERCEPTION** - Pattern recognition and insights
6. **DIALOG** - Conversational interfaces
7. **ACTIVATION** - Automation and triggers
8. **WEBSOCKET** - Real-time communications
---
## Architecture
### Pipeline Execution Flow
```
User Input → BrainyData.add()
↓
[SENSE Pipeline]
• Neural Import (default)
• Custom analyzers
• Premium enhancers
↓
[CONDUIT Pipeline]
• Notion sync
• Salesforce sync
• API connectors
↓
[Other Pipelines...]
↓
Vector + Graph Storage
```
### Execution Modes
```typescript
export enum ExecutionMode {
SEQUENTIAL = 'sequential', // One after another (default)
PARALLEL = 'parallel', // All at once
FIRST_SUCCESS = 'firstSuccess', // Stop at first success
FIRST_RESULT = 'firstResult', // Return first result
THREADED = 'threaded' // Separate threads
}
```
---
## Augmentation Types
### 1. Neural Import (Free, Default)
**Always installed, always active, always free.**
```typescript
const brainy = new BrainyData()
await brainy.init() // Neural Import activates automatically
// Every add() uses Neural Import
await brainy.add("John Smith works at Acme Corp")
// Automatically detects: entities, relationships, confidence scores
```
### 2. Community Augmentations (Free, Open Source)
**Install from npm, contribute your own.**
```typescript
import { TranslatorAugmentation } from 'brainy-translator'
const translator = new TranslatorAugmentation({
languages: ['en', 'es', 'fr']
})
await brainy.addAugmentation('DIALOG', translator, {
name: 'translator',
autoStart: true
})
```
### 3. Premium Augmentations (Paid, Licensed)
**Enterprise features with license validation.**
```typescript
2025-08-12 11:50:08 -07:00
import { NotionConnector } from 'Brain Cloud (auto-loads after auth)'
2025-08-07 19:33:03 -07:00
const notion = new NotionConnector({
licenseKey: 'lic_xxxxxxxxxxxxx', // Required!
notionToken: 'secret_xxxxxxxxx',
syncMode: 'bidirectional'
})
await brainy.addAugmentation('CONDUIT', notion, {
name: 'notion',
autoStart: true
})
```
### 4. Custom Augmentations
**Build your own for specific needs.**
```typescript
class MyAugmentation implements ISenseAugmentation {
name = 'my-augmentation'
version = '1.0.0'
async processRawData(data: string, type: string) {
// Your logic here
return { success: true, data: { /* ... */ } }
}
}
await brainy.addAugmentation('SENSE', new MyAugmentation())
```
---
## Installation Guide
### In Code (TypeScript/JavaScript)
#### Neural Import (Automatic)
```typescript
import { BrainyData } from '@soulcraft/brainy '
const brainy = new BrainyData()
await brainy.init() // ✅ Neural Import ready
```
#### Community Augmentations
```bash
npm install brainy-translator
```
```typescript
import { Translator } from 'brainy-translator'
await brainy.addAugmentation('DIALOG', new Translator())
```
#### Premium Augmentations
```bash
2025-08-12 11:50:08 -07:00
npm install Brain Cloud (auto-loads after auth)
2025-08-07 19:33:03 -07:00
```
```typescript
2025-08-12 11:50:08 -07:00
import { NotionConnector } from 'Brain Cloud (auto-loads after auth)'
2025-08-07 19:33:03 -07:00
const notion = new NotionConnector({
licenseKey: process.env.BRAINY_LICENSE_KEY
})
await brainy.addAugmentation('CONDUIT', notion)
```
### In Cortex CLI
#### Check Status
```bash
cortex augmentations
# Shows all active augmentations
```
#### Add Community
```bash
npm install -g brainy-translator
cortex augmentation add brainy-translator --type DIALOG
```
#### Activate Premium
```bash
cortex license activate lic_xxxxxxxxxxxxx
cortex augmentation activate notion-connector
```
#### Add Custom
```bash
cortex augmentation add ./my-augmentation.js --type SENSE
```
---
## Pipeline Execution
### Automatic Execution
When you add data, relevant pipelines execute automatically:
```typescript
await brainy.add("Customer data")
// Triggers in order:
// 1. SENSE pipeline (Neural Import analyzes)
// 2. CONDUIT pipeline (syncs to external systems)
// 3. MEMORY pipeline (enhanced storage)
```
### Manual Execution
Call augmentations directly for specific operations:
```typescript
// Get specific augmentation
const notion = brainy.getAugmentation('CONDUIT', 'notion')
// Call methods directly
await notion.triggerSync({ full: true })
await notion.exportToNotion(data)
```
### Pipeline Control
```typescript
// Configure execution mode
await brainy.add(data, metadata, {
pipelineOptions: {
mode: ExecutionMode.PARALLEL,
timeout: 10000,
stopOnError: false
}
})
// Disable specific augmentations
await brainy.disableAugmentation('CONDUIT', 'slow-connector')
// Enable again
await brainy.enableAugmentation('CONDUIT', 'slow-connector')
```
---
## Cortex CLI Integration
### Shared Configuration
Code and Cortex share configuration via `.cortex/config.json` :
```typescript
// Save from code
await brainy.saveConfiguration('.cortex/config.json')
// Load in Cortex
cortex init // Automatically loads config
```
### Unified Management
```bash
# View all augmentations
cortex augmentations
# Configure any augmentation
cortex augmentation config notion --set syncInterval=15
# Manually trigger
cortex connector sync notion --full
```
---
## Server Deployment
### Basic Server Setup
#### 1. Create Brainy Server
```typescript
// server.ts
import express from 'express'
import { BrainyData } from '@soulcraft/brainy '
2025-08-12 11:50:08 -07:00
import { NotionConnector } from 'Brain Cloud (auto-loads after auth)'
2025-08-07 19:33:03 -07:00
const app = express()
const brainy = new BrainyData({
storage: {
s3Storage: {
bucketName: process.env.S3_BUCKET,
region: process.env.AWS_REGION,
accessKeyId: process.env.AWS_ACCESS_KEY,
secretAccessKey: process.env.AWS_SECRET_KEY
}
}
})
// Initialize with augmentations
async function initialize() {
await brainy.init() // Neural Import active
// Add premium augmentations if licensed
if (process.env.BRAINY_LICENSE_KEY) {
const notion = new NotionConnector({
licenseKey: process.env.BRAINY_LICENSE_KEY,
notionToken: process.env.NOTION_TOKEN
})
await brainy.addAugmentation('CONDUIT', notion, {
name: 'notion',
autoStart: true
})
}
// Save config for remote Cortex access
await brainy.saveConfiguration('/data/.cortex/config.json')
}
// API endpoints
app.post('/add', async (req, res) => {
const { data, metadata } = req.body
const id = await brainy.add(data, metadata)
res.json({ id })
})
app.get('/search', async (req, res) => {
const { query } = req.query
const results = await brainy.search(query)
res.json({ results })
})
// WebSocket for real-time
const server = app.listen(3000)
const io = require('socket.io')(server)
io.on('connection', (socket) => {
socket.on('cortex:command', async (command) => {
// Handle Cortex commands
const result = await executeCortexCommand(command)
socket.emit('cortex:result', result)
})
})
initialize().then(() => {
console.log('🧠⚛️ Brainy server ready on port 3000')
})
```

# Or deploy to Kubernetes
kubectl apply -f brainy-deployment.yaml
```
---
## Remote Connection
### Connect Cortex to Remote Brainy Server
#### Method 1: Direct API Connection
```bash
# Configure Cortex to use remote server
cortex config set server.url https://brainy.example.com
cortex config set server.apiKey your-api-key
# Now all commands go to remote
cortex add "Data to add remotely"
cortex search "remote search query"
cortex augmentations # Shows remote augmentations
```
#### Method 2: WebSocket Connection (Real-time)
```bash
# Connect via WebSocket for real-time sync
cortex connect ws://brainy.example.com:3000
# Connected to remote Brainy server
# Add augmentation remotely
cortex augmentation add brainy-translator
# Augmentation added to remote server
# Configure remote augmentation
cortex augmentation config translator --set languages="en,es,fr"
# Configuration updated on remote server
```
#### Method 3: SSH Tunnel (Secure)
```bash
# Create SSH tunnel to server
ssh -L 3000:localhost:3000 user@brainy -server.com
# Connect Cortex to tunneled port
cortex config set server.url http://localhost:3000
# Now Cortex commands execute on remote server
cortex augmentations
cortex add "Secure data"
```
### Adding Augmentations Remotely
#### 1. Via Cortex CLI
```bash
# Connect to remote server
cortex connect https://brainy.example.com
# Add community augmentation
cortex augmentation install brainy-sentiment
cortex augmentation add brainy-sentiment --type PERCEPTION
# Add premium augmentation
cortex license activate lic_xxxxxxxxxxxxx
cortex augmentation activate salesforce-connector \
--instance-url https://mycompany.salesforce.com \
--access-token $SF_TOKEN
# Add custom augmentation
cortex augmentation upload ./my-custom.js
cortex augmentation add my-custom --type COGNITION
# Verify all augmentations
cortex augmentations
```
#### 2. Via REST API
```bash
# Add augmentation via API
curl -X POST https://brainy.example.com/api/augmentations \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"type": "CONDUIT",
"name": "notion-connector",
"config": {
"licenseKey": "lic_xxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"notionToken": "secret_xxxxxxxxx",
"syncMode": "bidirectional"
}
}'
# Check status
curl https://brainy.example.com/api/augmentations \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY"
```
#### 3. Via Remote Management UI
```typescript
// admin-ui/src/AugmentationManager.tsx
import { useState, useEffect } from 'react'
export function RemoteAugmentationManager() {
const [augmentations, setAugmentations] = useState([])
async function addAugmentation(config) {
const response = await fetch('/api/augmentations', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}`
},
body: JSON.stringify(config)
})
if (response.ok) {
const result = await response.json()
console.log('Augmentation added:', result)
refreshAugmentations()
}
}
return (
< div >
< h2 > 🧠⚛️ Remote Augmentation Manager< / h2 >
< AugmentationList items = {augmentations} / >
< AddAugmentationForm onAdd = {addAugmentation} / >
< / div >
)
}
```
### Production Deployment Example
```bash
# 1. Deploy Brainy server to AWS EC2
ssh ec2-user@brainy -prod.aws.com
docker-compose up -d
# 2. Connect local Cortex to production
cortex config set server.url https://brainy-prod.aws.com
cortex config set server.apiKey $PROD_API_KEY
# 3. Add production augmentations
cortex license activate $PROD_LICENSE_KEY
cortex augmentation activate notion-connector
cortex augmentation activate salesforce-connector
# 4. Configure for production workload
cortex augmentation config notion \
--set syncMode=bidirectional \
--set syncInterval=5 \
--set maxConcurrent=10
# 5. Monitor augmentations
cortex monitor --dashboard
cortex augmentations --status
```
### Load Balancing Multiple Servers
```nginx
# nginx.conf for load balancing
upstream brainy_servers {
server brainy1.internal:3000;
server brainy2.internal:3000;
server brainy3.internal:3000;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name brainy.example.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://brainy_servers;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
}
location /ws {
proxy_pass http://brainy_servers;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
}
}
```
---
## License Management
### Activation
```bash
# Purchase or trial
cortex license purchase notion-connector
cortex license trial salesforce-connector
# Activate
cortex license activate lic_xxxxxxxxxxxxx
# Check status
cortex license status
```
### Environment Variables
```bash
# Set once, use everywhere
export BRAINY_LICENSE_KEY=lic_xxxxxxxxxxxxx
# Works in code
const notion = new NotionConnector({
licenseKey: process.env.BRAINY_LICENSE_KEY
})
# Works in Cortex
cortex augmentation activate notion-connector
```
---
## API Reference
### Core Methods
```typescript
// Add augmentation
await brainy.addAugmentation(
category: AugmentationType,
augmentation: IAugmentation,
options?: {
name?: string
position?: number
autoStart?: boolean
}
)
// Get augmentation
const aug = brainy.getAugmentation(category: string, name: string)
// Remove augmentation
await brainy.removeAugmentation(category: string, name: string)
// List all augmentations
const list = brainy.listAugmentations(category?: string)
// Configure augmentation
await aug.configure(config: Record< string , any > )
```
### Pipeline Control
```typescript
// Execute specific pipeline
await augmentationPipeline.executeSensePipeline(
'processRawData',
[data, type],
{ mode: ExecutionMode.PARALLEL }
)
// Register augmentation with pipeline
augmentationPipeline.register(augmentation)
// Get augmentations by type
const senseAugs = augmentationPipeline.getAugmentationsByType('sense')
```
---
## Best Practices
1. **Always let Neural Import run first** - It provides entity detection for other augmentations
2. **Use PARALLEL mode for independent augmentations** - Better performance
3. **Configure retry logic for network-based augmentations** - Handle transient failures
4. **Save configuration after changes** - Keep code and Cortex in sync
5. **Use environment variables for secrets** - Never hardcode credentials
6. **Monitor augmentation performance** - Use `cortex monitor` regularly
7. **Test augmentations locally first** - Before deploying to production
---
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
**Augmentation not running:**
```bash
cortex augmentations --verbose
# Check status and errors
```
**License validation failed:**
```bash
cortex license status
cortex license refresh
```
**Remote connection issues:**
```bash
cortex config test
cortex connect --debug
```
**Performance problems:**
```bash
cortex monitor --dashboard
cortex augmentation profile < name >
```
