This Week’s Recap

We've shipped a lot in the last week that fundamentally changes what Sentience is and what it can do for you.

Until now, Sentience has been a super powerful capture and recall engine—great at understanding and recalling the messy data across your work. We're now letting it represent you, speak for you, and ask you questions to learn more about how you operate.

We also want to give you a window into our thinking. What's been inspiring us?

VISION
Sentience as a living proxy for you

This week we’ve made big strides towards enabling Sentience as a sharable proxy for your knowledge.

To achieve this, there are two key pillars:

  1. Sentience builds an understanding of your values, expertise, and judgment that is richer than any other system.

  2. Sentience is sharable with your team and collaborators. It should meet them where they are.

And finally:

  1. Why does this matter?

I will discuss each.

[1] How Sentience compounds to form the horizontal layer of who you are.

Your Sentience will now prompt you and ask you questions about who you are, what you’re working on, and how you operate. Rather than you having to ask your Sentience for important information, your Sentience will proactively start message threads. Importantly, they will always be driven by what’s actually top of mind for you. They are unique to you.

Over time, these compound: your Sentience evolves from basic facts to deep understanding.

[2] Sentience in Slack (iMessage soon)

This week we rolled out our Slackbot integration to a bunch of teams. Sentience is a digital twin of you, so it should interact in the same surfaces that you do as a human.

If you’re interested in adding your Sentience to communicate with your team in Slack — reach out to us ([email protected]). We’re doing this manually to make sure we get it right, but we plan to open things to self-serve onboarding soon.

[3] What does the world look like when we all have a digital version of ourselves?

It looks like:

  • Engineering standup being simulated by each team member’s Sentience instead of wasting human time sharing knowledge.

  • Founders and CEOs being able to answer their team’s questions 24/7, even while they get some much needed sleep...

  • Teachers and professors using their Sentience to reach students 1:1 they wouldn’t normally be able to.

It looks like preserving your wisdom and legacy even beyond the confines of your physical mind—creating a version of yourself that can live forever.

COMMUNITY
Auto-generating Personal Library

Personal libraries are live for every beta user.

When you create your Sentience account and begin to capture memories, your life gets organized into a living knowledge base. Pages are created automatically—the people you talk to, projects you're working on, groups you belong to, themes running through your days.

You don't have to do anything. Your Sentience watches, learns, and builds. Think of it as a map of your world. Who matters to you, what you're focused on, how your priorities shift over time.

These wikis aren't just for browsing. They feed directly into how your Sentience thinks. When it answers a question or makes a recommendation, it's drawing on structured understanding of your life and reasoning about your world.

COMMUNITY
User Dinner

This week we hosted our first in-person beta user event in Williamsburg. Our earliest users came together to meet each other, share how they're using Sentience, and see some new stuff that’s in the works.

Thank you so much to those of you who joined us! We’ll do our next user dinner soon—West Coast next? 👀
