Independent research & product company
for useful, human-aware AI.

Research agenda

Open
questions.

We study what has to become true before an AI system can participate meaningfully in human work.

AGENDA / 2026

Four questions organize the work.

Authority

How can a person express exactly what an agent may decide, where it must ask, and how permission expires?

Social context

Can systems reason about roles, relationships, timing, tone, and consent without flattening people into metadata?

Continuity

What should persist across devices and conversations—and what should be deliberately forgotten?

Accountability

How do we make an agent’s evidence, actions, uncertainty, and responsibility legible at the moment they matter?
