The words we use
The shape of the whole thing
Three tools, one mind underneath. The Workshop is where you make things. The Venue is where your business lives. Anima is the voice that works with you across all of it — and remembers everything you make.
Underneath: Anima keeps what happened, works on it overnight, turns it into advice at the Roundtable, and holds every agreement to the record — all standing on Brainy, our open-source ground, with Cor for speed.
That’s the whole map. Every word below links back to it.
The Suite
One membership, every tool we make. $199 a month covers the Workshop, your Venue, Anima, and everything underneath them — one bill, one login, one mind that ties it together.
The Workshop
Where you make things — a book, a course, an app, a business plan — with a partner that remembers everything as you go. Describe it; craft it together.
The Venue
Your business's home on the internet, whole: website, bookings, payments, register, gift cards, email. One place instead of five subscriptions, with your business's own mind underneath.
Anima
The voice you work with everywhere — the one you hand a rough thought and get back a draft, a sketch, a better question. Anima remembers everything you make, learns how you work, and is there in the Workshop and the Venue. It works for you, not on you.
Dreaming
What a mind here does while you sleep. It consolidates the day's memories and conversations, connects what belongs together, weaves threads nobody drew in daylight, and arrives at ideas neither of you had yet. In the morning it greets you knowing where you left off. We mean the word almost literally; it's one of the things we're proudest of.
Counsel
Advice with receipts. When your business's mind weighs a question, it seats advisors — each reading your real records from a different angle — and what they agree on comes to you as counsel, with every claim citing where it came from.
The Roundtable
The table where that counsel happens. Ask it anything about your business; it answers from your own records and keeps a diary of every call — the question, the advice, what you chose, and what actually happened. You can ask whether it was right. So does it.
Brainy
The open-source database everything here stands on. We built it, we maintain it, and it's MIT-licensed and free forever — for us, for you, for anyone. The ground under the house is public land.
Cor
The engine that runs a mind's thinking on your own hardware when you want it there — local, private, yours. Optional; the Suite works without it.
