Marketplace Brains vs Private Brains
Compare marketplace and private knowledge brains in KBrain, and learn when each option fits AI assistant workflows.
KBrain supports two useful ways to work with curated knowledge: marketplace brains and private brains. Both are designed to help AI assistants access focused knowledge in supported workflows.
Marketplace brains are intended for discovery. They are a good fit when a creator or organization wants to make a curated knowledge asset available to others.
Private brains are better for internal or controlled knowledge. They can support team workflows where the context should stay limited to a specific audience.
The right choice depends on the purpose of the knowledge. If the brain is meant to be found and reused broadly, marketplace publishing may fit. If it contains internal context, private access is usually the better starting point.
