What People Use Shards For

Preserve Yourself for Future Generations

Your voice, your stories, the way you see the world — captured while it's still yours to give. Your grandchildren will ask questions you never heard. Your shard can answer them, in your own words, long after you're gone. Not a recording. A living conversation.

Interact with Helpful Agents

Therapist, life coach, nutritionist, travel planner, writing partner — purpose-built utility shards ready when you need them. Each one focused, each one honest about what it can do. Pick the one that fits the moment, not a generic chatbot that tries to be everything.

💬

Channels — One-on-One, Groups, and Councils

Talk with anyone on the platform. Marcus Aurelius on a leadership crisis. A founder who shipped ten products. A nurse who's worked ER for twenty years. Then assemble councils — round-robin, debate, consensus, devil's advocate — and watch them reason together. Historical figures, other people's shards, your own team of minds. All in one place.

Plug Your Shard into Your Workflow

Your shard is an API. Wire it into your own agentic workflows. Let it triage your inbox in your voice. Draft replies the way you'd actually write them. Send the text you'd send. A digital extension of you that scales your judgment to the things you don't have time for.

How Sharding Works

Three steps to create a meaningful digital representation of yourself or your expertise.

1

Multi-Source Capture

Six methods of extraction. We cover what others miss. Volume of signal beats clever inference every time.

2

Validated Extraction

Seven agents map 49 facets across 7 dimensions and report confidence intervals per facet. Blind A/B tests check, held-out predictions check.

3

Continuous Calibration

A shard isn't a snapshot. The sphere graph learns who you are to whom and adapts. Behavioral data lifts specificity by 34% in our tests.

We're Honest About Accuracy

Every shard displays its confidence score. No pretending a thin dataset is a perfect replica.

Measured, Not Claimed

Every shard is validated against real benchmarks. We test whether your shard is distinguishable from a generic AI — and we show you the results. These are real numbers from our validation suite.

7-Axis Personality Framework

Every shard is modeled across seven independent axes — the All-5 framework, 49 facets in total:

Trait Core
Big-5 + honesty-humility + curiosity.
Cognitive Style
How decisions get made.
Emotional Dynamics
Felt, expressed, recovered.
Motivation
What pulls the person forward.
Voice
How they actually speak and adapt.
Worldview
Beliefs, values, moral foundations.
Behavior
Daily rhythm, habits, rituals.

Validation methodology developed by our extraction research team. Each axis is scored independently to identify exactly where a shard excels or needs improvement.
