Your company wiki, written while you work
Tessa pulls decisions, processes, client and project status and your company's own vocabulary out of meeting minutes, channels and shared documents. Every page cites its sources and is visible only to people who could see those sources.
Everyone wants a wiki. Nobody wants to write it
Important decisions happen in meetings and Slack threads: “the annual plan gets 20% off from now on”, “this is how we handle returns”. Three months later someone asks the same question and nobody remembers where it was decided, or whether it still stands.
The classic answer is a wiki or a tidy Notion workspace. It works as long as someone maintains it, and at a small company that someone is usually busy with whatever's on fire. The wiki stalls halfway and people stop checking it.
How it works with Tessa
- 1
Tessa reads what's shared
Meeting minutes, Slack channel messages (public, and private for their members) and documents in your shared Drive folder.
- 2
She extracts what's worth keeping
Decisions (what, when, where, and whether it replaces an earlier one), processes with their steps, client and project summaries with status, and glossary terms.
- 3
She writes or updates the page
If a page on the topic already exists she updates it; otherwise she creates one. Every page keeps versions and links its sources.
- 4
Humans have the last word
Once someone edits a page by hand, Tessa stops rewriting it and leaves suggestions to accept or dismiss instead.
What you get
- Zero upkeepThe wiki grows from the team's normal work.
- SourcedEvery decision links to the meeting or channel it came from, so you can check it.
- Permissions respectedA page born in a private channel is only visible to its members. A page's audience is never widened.
- Current decisionsWhen a decision replaces another, the old one is marked as superseded.
- SearchableThe wiki shows up in search, in chats with Tessa and in meeting prep.
- Never uses emailPersonal mailboxes, direct messages and private chats with Tessa never feed the wiki.
What a page looks like
Here's an example “Decision” page: “Annual plan discount. The annual plan is 20% cheaper than monthly starting with the v2 launch.” Sources: the 8 October meeting and the #sales channel. If the team later agrees on 15%, the new decision links back to the old one, which is marked as superseded.
What it isn't for
It doesn't replace formal documentation you're required to maintain, such as quality manuals or regulated protocols. It is a great starting point for writing them, though, because it captures how work actually gets done.
Why permissions matter here
An automatic wiki is only safe if it can't leak. That's why Tessa computes each page's audience as the narrowest group that could see all of its sources, and drops an entry entirely if nobody could see them all. Merging two notes never makes a page visible to more people than before.
What Tessa reads for each person stays private, your data is stored in the EU and nothing goes out without your approval.
Frequently asked questions
Where does Tessa get the information?
From meeting minutes, Slack channels and documents in your shared Drive folder. Never from personal email, direct messages or private chats with Tessa.
Can everyone see every page?
No. Each page is visible only to people who could see all its sources. If a decision comes from a private channel, only its members see it.
Can I edit pages?
Yes. Your edits win: Tessa won't overwrite a page a person has edited and offers suggestions instead. Every change is versioned.
Does it replace Notion or Confluence?
For many small teams, as a living record of decisions and processes, it can be enough. If you already have a well-kept wiki, Tessera can sit alongside it and connect to Notion (beta).
How often does it update?
New minutes are processed within minutes; channels and documents once a day.
