Intelligence that
helps us help
each other.

We study how AI and social systems can help people understand their lives, coordinate, and support one another.

The aim is to help people do more together with the knowledge and abilities already among them—not to put more AI agents between them.

What we study
Our research

Community Design

How can people shape the systems they live in?
