Problem
Being present and remembering compete for the same attention. Anyone who has asked for a name twice knows the tax. The product also began aimed at government buyers, a market that would have buried its real promise.
Insight
Memory is the tax on presence. Outsource the storage and presence comes back. That is a promise you make to a person, so the product belonged in the consumer market.
Contribution
- Helped the founding team shape the product architecture
- Designed the rolling 60-second buffer and the recall flow: names, stories, commitments, surfaced as a quiet inner voice
- Built the consumer position around the freedom to forget
- Guided the pivot away from government and toward consumer
Outcome
In development.
