The Pingback

Instruments to augment human intellect.

The Pingback develops instruments for forming, testing, and sharing knowledge.

As machines become first-class actors in the world, the infrastructure by which people know has to be augmented to meet them, and to leave people more capable, not less.

What we believe

  1. 01Instruments, not products.A product decides how you’ll use it. An instrument gives you what you can do, and leaves the playing to you.
  2. 02Augmentation, not productivity.Useful technology grants a capacity without dictating how it’s used. Some people use a superpower to do more; others, to do less of one thing and turn to another. Eden is built for both.
  3. 03Actors, not agents.An agent acts when it’s prompted. An actor holds a purpose of its own, keeps it from one day to the next, and chooses when to step in and when to leave things be.
  4. 04One partner, not a crowd.It’s already hard to earnestly text ten people a day. You talk to one Eden, and it knows who to ask.
  5. 05Everyone deserves beautiful personal software.Software that grows with you: a garden for what you hope to do, able to hold a life’s complexity and take the weight of it off you.
  6. 06Your life is not raw material.Eden holds your life; it doesn’t mine it. It never trains models on anyone’s home, and a web search sends only its own words, never your mail or calendar. The Pingback’s charter makes it the custodian of your data and your actors.
  7. 07A home should send you back out.Soothing to return to, and built so you can turn back to the world. You can always leave.
