# ResDB > Organizational memory infrastructure for the enterprise. ResDB gives organizations > and AI agents associative memory — surfacing patterns, connections, and causal chains > across decades of accumulated knowledge. Not retrieval. Resonance. ResDB is infrastructure that developers and enterprises build on top of. It uses attractor-based resonance rather than RAG-style nearest-neighbor search, activating coherent knowledge clusters instead of returning keyword-matched fragments. Search finds what's similar. Memory surfaces what's coherent. ## Key Concepts - **Organizational memory infrastructure**: A new category of enterprise infrastructure that preserves and activates institutional knowledge for both human teams and AI agents. - **Attractor-based resonance**: A query mechanism that seeds a dynamic field with a question and surfaces the stable knowledge structure that emerges — discovering patterns across departments, years, and previously unlinked information. - **Associative memory**: The capability to recall knowledge by pattern activation rather than keyword search, mirroring how experienced humans think. ## How ResDB Differs from RAG RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) uses nearest-neighbor search to find document chunks similar to a query. It is retrieval, not memory. ResDB activates coherent knowledge clusters, preserving context, causality, temporal relationships, and contradiction. RAG is a very fast filing cabinet. ResDB is organizational memory. ## Core Resources - [Homepage](https://resdb.ca/): Overview of organizational memory infrastructure, capabilities, and early access - [How It Works](https://resdb.ca/how-it-works/): Six-layer architecture explainer — hyperdimensional computing, attractor basin dynamics, temporal decay, hash-chained provenance, LNN homeostasis, and Resonant Query Language (RQL) - [Technical Whitepaper](https://resdb.ca/whitepaper.html): Architecture details — hyperdimensional computing, resonance algorithm, temporal property graph, query language - [Early Access Program](https://resdb.ca/early-access-info.html): Who early access is for — enterprise teams and integrators, licensing model, expectations - [Request Early Access](https://resdb.ca/early-access.html): Beta signup form for Q2 2026 launch - [Blog](https://resdb.ca/blog/): Long-form thinking on organizational memory infrastructure, enterprise AI, and institutional knowledge - [News](https://resdb.ca/news/): Product milestones and company announcements ## Documentation - [ResDB Whitepaper PDF](https://resdb.ca/ResDB-Whitepaper.pdf): Executive overview of organizational memory infrastructure ## Technical Architecture ResDB combines Hyperdimensional Computing, typed temporal property graphs, and attractor-based resonance dynamics into a unified memory substrate. Key specifications: - P95 query latency: ≤ 1.5 seconds - Provenance coverage: ≥ 95% - Hash-chained provenance on every result - GPU-accelerated (NVIDIA CUDA, FAISS indexing) - Native Model Context Protocol (MCP), REST API, Agent-to-Agent protocol - Resonant Query Language (RQL): declarative, temporal, provenance-aware ## Blog - [Search is not memory — and the difference costs enterprises millions](https://resdb.ca/blog/organizational-memory-vs-rag/): Explains why RAG-style retrieval is fundamentally different from associative memory, and why that distinction determines whether AI agents can reason or merely retrieve.

Limited to 12 organizations in the first cohort. (Published 2026-03-20) ## Company ResDB is developed by Antturi Media Ltd.
