When critical context only lives in people's heads or buried chat threads, your MSP is one resignation or one bad week away from operational chaos.

In our upcoming members-only AI Labs on September 9th, ASCII member Mark Mina, Founder/CEO of EZ Tek Solutions, shows members how he solved this by building an AI Second Brain—a unified memory layer that feeds client history and past decisions directly to any AI tool his team uses.
