We’re preparing for an upcoming launch! Join us at sentience.com/early-access to be the first to hear about it and get an extended free trial when we go live.
Building a Profile of You
Every personal AI system starts from roughly the same place. Connectors can give it access to your context, but they often don’t promote deep understanding. Your system can have access to all the messages and emails in the world without knowing how you think, decide, work, or relate to other people.
A true digital self should feel personal immediately. So we built a traits analysis that creates a profile of who you are in about five minutes.
The test mixes rapid-fire decisions, real-world scenarios, and questions about how you work. Your results give you one of ten archetypes and a hyper-personalized trait map of where you fall on six different spectrums.
These results become the starting point for how your Sentience understands and supports you: they shape your Profile and help your Sentience recommend routines that fit how you work.
From there, your model keeps evolving. Your Sentience learns from your email, calendar, messages, meetings, connected sources, and direct feedback. The personality test and Sense of Self interview give it an initial picture of who you are, and the context of your life makes that picture deeper and more accurate over time.
Custom Avatar and App Icon
Your Sentience now has a customizable, high-fidelity avatar generated from a photo that you upload. The base version will be a video-game style photorealistic avatar (see the leftmost image below), you have the freedom to customize it however you choose. Have fun with it and share your avatar in the Discord!
Your avatar appears throughout the product and even becomes your personalized Sentience Desktop icon. There is no longer one universal icon—if your Sentience is a unique model of you, it should give you a unique app icon!
Sense of Self
Your Sentience now has a durable layer where your most important details, preferences, and principles live.
Your Sentience’s Sense of Self lives inside your Profile. These sections provide your Sentience durable context it can utilize when helping you make decisions or act on your behalf.
Although these sections will generate automatically after your Sentience knows you well enough to fill them out, you can jump-start this process with a short voice chat.
The new Sense of Self quiz gives you a direct way to teach your Sentience about your values and preferences. It is voice-first: you respond naturally to questions about your experiences, preferences, relationships, and decisions. Your Sense of Self will auto-populate with the answers your provide.
We’re speeding towards a future where your Sentience truly feels like a digital extension of you, and a personalized, interactive profile is the most recent step on that journey.
User Spotlight: Anna Levitt
Meet Anna—and Coach Anna.
Anna Levitt is the founder of Bubble Boss Co., where she works as a fractional Head of People and coaches leaders to utilize AI effectively without losing the human judgment behind their work.
She starts many mornings with Sentience, catching up on what she needs to know over her morning coffee. Her Sentience surfaces relevant context, helps her think through decisions, and drafts emails in her voice. It also captures ideas whenever they arrive—including the ones that Anna has in the middle of the night.
Now, she’s exploring Coach Anna, a client-facing Sentience grounded in her coaching methodology. Her vision is for Coach Anna to understand each client’s goals, context, and working style and support their reflection between sessions.
Anna doesn’t want to automate the relationship aspect of coaching, but Coach Anna helps extend the parts of her work that don’t require her direct presence, and preserve her judgment for the moments that do.
