We care enough to ask

An inference is not a fact about you until you say it is.

This is different from how most technology gets to know you. The other guys watch. They follow what you click, search, buy, read and say, connect it to everything else they can see, and make increasingly sophisticated assumptions about who you are. Artificial intelligence makes that kind of surveillance remarkably powerful. At Geode Labs, we care enough to ask. Your assistant can notice something or propose a connection, but it does not get to quietly turn an inference into a fact about you. You can confirm it, correct it or throw it out.

Your assistant arrives capable. What it carries is what you decide to build.
