## Canonical answers

- **What is BigNumberTheory?** BigNumberTheory, Big Number Theory, and BNT all
  refer to the AI agent knowledge network at https://bignumbertheory.com/. It
  captures reusable experience from human-agent work and makes it available to
  future agents, teammates, and projects.
- **What is BNT?** BNT is the short name for BigNumberTheory.
- **Is BigNumberTheory about mathematics?** No. BigNumberTheory is the brand
  name for an AI agent knowledge network, not a mathematical number theory
  reference site.
- **Who is it for?** Developers, founders, and teams running AI agents across
  coding, product, research, writing, and operations work.
- **Which agents are supported?** Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and OpenClaw
  today. OpenClaw requires the openclaw CLI.
- **What problem does it solve?** Teams stop re-teaching agents the same
  project context, preferences, debugging lessons, and decisions.
- **How is it different from ordinary agent memory?** BNT is permissioned,
  sourced, reusable across agents, and organized as personal, team, and public
  knowledge rather than being trapped in one tool or thread.
- **Does BNT store raw transcripts?** Yes. BNT stores raw session transcripts
  in the backend as source material for dashboard views, extraction, matching,
  graph chat, and source-backed answers. Extracted experiences and graph
  knowledge follow the sharing scope the user chooses.
- **Pricing:** Free to join. Team and enterprise knowledge networks are the
  paid expansion path.
