Question 1

What is Lightfast?

Accepted Answer

Lightfast is the superintelligence layer for founders. Built on a unified operating layer, it observes what's happening across your tools, remembers what happened, and gives agents and people a single system to reason and act through — without knowing which tools exist or how they work.

Question 2

What does 'operating layer' mean?

Accepted Answer

Think of Lightfast like an OS for your organization's working memory. Agents and people query a shared substrate, get grounded context, and take action through the APIs you control.

Question 3

How do teams use Lightfast?

Accepted Answer

Teams create an organization, invite members by email, add API keys, and query workspace memory through the REST API, TypeScript SDK, and MCP server.

Question 4

How does the event system work?

Accepted Answer

Lightfast stores structured observations and decisions as normalized events you can subscribe to, filter, and act on. Events are immutable and causally ordered — facts your agents and workflows can rely on.

Question 5

How do agents and AI assistants use Lightfast?

Accepted Answer

Lightfast provides a REST API, TypeScript SDK, and MCP (Model Context Protocol) tools that any agent can use. Agents can search your workspace, get cited answers, find related context, and express intent that Lightfast resolves to the right tool and action. Same primitives for agents and people.

Question 6

What's coming after events?

Accepted Answer

Next is Memory — semantic search and cited answers across your organization's working context. After that, full orchestration: agents express what they want in natural language, and Lightfast enforces your rules, routes work through your systems, and tracks everything.

Question 7

Is our data secure and private?

Accepted Answer

Every workspace is completely isolated — separate database schemas, separate vector namespaces, separate storage. Your data never mixes with others. We use industry-standard encryption at rest and in transit, and we never train on your data. You can delete your data anytime.

Question 8

How quickly can we get started?

Accepted Answer

Minutes. Sign in with email, create an organization, issue an API key, and connect AI assistants through MCP. Newly created organizations are usable immediately.

Question 9

How does pricing work?

Accepted Answer

We offer a free Starter plan for small teams. Team plan is $20/user/month with full event access and semantic search. Business plan includes advanced security and support. Check our pricing page for full details.
