Features

Markdown files as a source of truth

Burton favors files you can diff: wiki pages, conversation summaries, and automation YAML. Build long lasting, compounded knowledge in an on open, human-readiable format.

  1. Markdown in git

    Wiki pages, conversation notes, and schema documents are ordinary files with restore and remotes.
  2. Automate the follow-up

    Triggers, waits, and messages on a canvas — plus Rabun pipelines for CDC and ETL.
  3. Integrations

    Send by email, pull from the web, or message on chat
