What to expect

One essay. One idea. Once a month.

Clear thinking on complex topics

The design choices shaping AI are happening now. We explore what's at stake before it's settled.

A builder's perspective

Written by the team building MyVault—a private AI system for life's important documents. Our perspective comes from building, not just observing.

Stay informed without the noise

The AI conversation moves fast. We filter what matters, explain what it means, and skip the hype.

Topics we explore

What we write about

Memory and context as infrastructure

Why your AI's understanding of you is becoming your most valuable digital asset and who should control it.

Digital life management

Your life is scattered across seven apps. None of them talk to each other. There's a better way.

Agentic AI and judgment

The shift from AI that answers to AI that acts. When should it decide for you?

Personal intelligence

Context as competitive advantage. Models commoditize. Memory doesn't.

Human-centered AI design

How AI should be built for people, not just about people.

The AI landscape

Not everything. Just the signals that matter for how intelligent systems should respect human boundaries.
