Tasukiba — The AI Operations Secretary for Knowledge & Project Management
The information you need, delivered right here, right now.
An AI operations secretary that remembers your projects, knowledge, and risks — and surfaces what you need by semantic search, right when you need it. Project and knowledge management built in, with MFA and tenant isolation.
Before you go looking, the knowledge you need finds you
“We solved this on the last project.” “Those retro takeaways? Nobody remembers them.” — Until now, project knowledge only surfaced when you went looking for it.
Tasukiba is an AI operations secretary that remembers your work data — projects, knowledge, risks, issues, retrospectives. The moment you open a project, the past knowledge, risks, and retrospectives relevant to you right now line up automatically, ranked by relevance. And from the bottom-right of any screen, just ask in plain language for “past assets like this.” Search and delivery — together, they change how knowledge gets pulled out.
| Typical full-text search | Tasukiba | |
|---|---|---|
| How you find it | You search by keyword | It surfaces on open + ask in plain language |
| Results | 100+ hits to scroll through | The few most relevant, distilled |
| Wording gaps | ”effort” ≠ “delay” | Linked by meaning, so both surface |
Context, not characters. Search “bank” and full-text matching can’t tell a riverbank from a savings account — semantic search reads the surrounding context and returns the one you actually meant.
From “review 100 results by eye” to “decide from a handful.” Knowledge stops living in one person’s memory and accumulates as a team asset.

What’s in the Name
The name “Tasukiba (襷場)” comes from the place where one runner hands the relay baton (襷, tasuki) to the next. Tasukiba aims to be the place where the person who ran one leg can reliably hand the baton of insight to the next.
Meet the Mascot — “Tasuki Owl”
Tasukiba’s official mascot is the Tasuki Owl. Owls have long been associated with wisdom, memory, and watching over things even at night — values that map directly to the three pillars Tasukiba cares about.
- Wisdom & memory — Remember the insight you earned, and offer it back to whoever needs it now.
- Watching even at night — Keep an eye on every project so nothing slips through the cracks.
- A guardian’s calm presence — Stand quietly between your knowledge and the rest of the world, keeping both safe.
Every detail in the artwork carries meaning.
- Wings wrapped around a document — The core promise: protect the knowledge, then pass the baton forward.
- Shield with a keyhole — Tenant isolation, access control, and authentication that hold up for business use.
- Soft circular barrier in the background — A protected space where your project can run with confidence.
“Watch through the night. Protect what you know. Show it when it matters.” The Tasuki Owl is the friendly shape of that promise, quietly there beside you as you work.
Why an owl, out of every possible motif? I wrote about the meaning behind the name and the design in The Birth of the Tasuki Owl.
