Most teams do not have a knowledge problem. They have a retrieval problem. The decision was made, the reason was good, and six weeks later nobody can reconstruct either — so the discussion runs again from the top.
A shared project in Elyvo is the memory that survives that. Sessions, documents and confirmed facts live on the project, not in one person’s head, and everyone invited works from the same context.
What sharing actually looks like
Two roles, deliberately few
Invite someone as a collaborator and they can add to the project’s memory and rules. Invite them as a viewer and they read it. That is the whole model — enough to run a team, small enough that nobody needs a permissions matrix.
Private stays private
Your personal memory is a separate store. Nothing crosses into a shared project unless you move it there, and moving it is an explicit act rather than a side effect of joining a team.
The detail nobody wrote down
The number from the migration someone led. The reason a pattern was rejected. The version where that behaviour changed. Elyvo brings the specific detail back into the conversation, from whichever session it was first said in.
It works over whatever the team already uses
Elyvo is a desktop overlay, not a browser extension or a meeting bot. It works over Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, a shared document, or a browser tab — because it does not care what is underneath it. One hotkey summons it over whatever is on screen, and the same key dismisses it.
It runs on macOS, Windows and Linux, so a mixed team is not a problem.
Rules that travel with the project
A project carries its own instructions — how this team writes, what the product is called, which conventions matter. Everyone working in the project inherits them, so new joiners get the house style without a briefing.
What leaves your machine
Shared memory is shared with the people you invite, and Elyvo needs to send data outward to work at all: meeting audio goes to a transcription provider and screen context goes to AI providers. The Privacy Policy names every one of them.
And if you transcribe a meeting, you are recording the people in it. In many countries that requires informing them or getting their consent first. Elyvo does not do that for you — check the law where you are before you record.
Where it earns its keep
- Handover. Someone leaves the project and the context does not leave with them.
- Onboarding. A new colleague reads the thread instead of interrupting three people to reconstruct it.
- Long client work. Six months of decisions stay searchable, not scattered across notes apps.
Try it on one project
The free plan needs no card. Put one real project in it and invite one colleague — you will learn more from a fortnight of that than from any description here.
