A person is not a profile.
In short
Most systems capture a person once — a sign-up form, a quiz, a set of preferences — and then treat that snapshot as the truth for years. Life GPS keeps a living model instead: it changes with actions, time and context, old assumptions fade, and behaviour weighs more than words.
The model is designed to be visible and correctable by the person. That design is not yet delivered: the transparency screen is blocked today, for the reason stated further down this page.
This is why the system becomes more useful over a year rather than simply accumulating more data.
The model across time is in the iOS beta. One thing is not ready and is named honestly below — we would rather say it here than have someone find it.
The problem this addresses
A person changes. The record of them usually does not.
The answers someone gave at sign-up describe who they were that day, in that mood, with that year's problems. Six months later the priorities have moved, the constraints are different, and a thing that was true — "I want to train four times a week" — is now just an old sentence generating wrong suggestions.
And there is a second, quieter problem: a person cannot hold their own patterns in memory. Nobody remembers that the last four times they planned something for Monday morning it did not happen, or that every time one sphere went red the same other sphere went red two weeks later. That is not a character flaw. It is the limit of memory.
What Life GPS does instead
The model spans time, not a moment
A person is held across five views at once:
- Origin — the environment, the family, the things that shaped the defaults they did not choose
- Today — the current state across spheres, the real constraints, what is actually happening
- Best self — the version they themselves described wanting to become
- Far future — the long horizon a person rarely gets asked about
- Stability — whether the life underneath all of it is holding
All five are in the beta.
Actions are not a sixth view. They are the signal that updates the others: what a person does moves the model, continuously.
Behaviour weighs more than words
If a person says family matters most, then postpones "call your parents" three times while completing a work task in five minutes, the system believes the actions. Not to catch anyone out — to stop building plans on a self-description that reality is not supporting.
In the beta.
It surfaces what a person cannot hold in memory — and keeps it correctable
Over time the system can bring up patterns that are hard to keep in your head. It does not claim to know a person better than they know themselves. It makes the pattern visible and leaves it entirely in the person's hands to confirm, change, or throw out.
That distinction is the whole design. A system that claims to know you better than you do has already taken the decision away.
Nothing is permanent
States expire. Values hold. A person is allowed to change their mind, and a real action outweighs the model. If the model says one thing and the person does another, the model is what gets updated.
In the beta.
The person sees what is remembered
There is a screen for it. Not a promise in a privacy policy — a place in the app where a person looks at what the system holds about them.
Blocked Status: blocked, and we are saying so rather than publishing the claim. The transparency screen exists, but on the profile screen today some numbers are placeholders left from an earlier build — they are not this person's data. Until the real fields are connected or that block is hidden, we do not publish "the person sees what the system remembers". Showing someone invented numbers about themselves would contradict this entire system.
This line gets removed from this page the day the fix ships — not before.
Leaving takes the path with you
If a person leaves, the path leaves too. That is stated plainly at the exit rather than hidden — not as a retention trick, but because the path is the identity: it is not recoverable from a backup of preferences.
In the beta.
What the imprint is actually for
The avatar is a model inside the model.
The outer model is the person: their spheres, their time, their relationships, their constraints. The inner one is narrower and harder to build — how this particular person thinks: the approaches they use, the logic they reason by, the order in which they take decisions apart, the algorithms they run without noticing they are running them.
That inner model is the reason the imprint exists. Context tells the system what is happening in a life. The imprint tells it how this person would go about it.
One situation — the founder's own
Take a project I run. My elder daughter is very close to me in the logic she reasons by. With this model she could run that project alongside me — my digital avatar helping her, because it knows my approaches, my logic of action, my algorithms. — Alexandru Goroh, founder
That is the whole point of an imprint rather than a profile. A profile can tell you what someone liked. An imprint carries how they work — and that is the part that is normally lost: it lives in one head, gets transferred by years of proximity, and disappears when the person is not in the room.
It also shows what the model is not. It does not decide for the daughter, and it does not stand in for the father. It holds an approach that she can use, argue with, or ignore — the same relationship the person has with their own model everywhere else in this system.
Where this stands. The model of a person's own context is in the beta. Carrying an approach for someone else to work with is a direction we are building toward — stated as a direction, and it changes here the day any part of it ships.
And the everyday version
The same thing, at ordinary scale: a person asks something plain, and the answer is only useful because the system held months of context and habits that the person could not hold themselves — and every part of that is visible to them and changeable by them.
How wide this reaches
It starts with the person themselves. A year in, the system is not simply fuller — it is more useful, because it stopped asking and started remembering the things that were never going to fit in one head.
From there it reaches further than a single life. An approach someone spent decades developing — how they take a problem apart, what they check first, what they refuse to do — normally lives in one head, transfers only through years of standing next to them, and disappears when they are not in the room. Held as a model, it can be worked with by someone else: a daughter running a project alongside her father's way of thinking, arguing with it where she disagrees.
Anyone who has ever had to explain themselves from the beginning to a tool, an assistant, or a person taking over their work is inside this.
The model across time, behaviour over words, memory and decay, and the origin diary are available in the beta. Carrying an approach for someone else to work with is a direction we are building toward, not a feature.
What we do not claim
Not "we know you better than you know yourself." The system surfaces; the person decides. Any other version of this hands the decision to the machine.
Not a copy of a person. The avatar is a model of context — what matters, what constrains, what has actually happened. It is not a consciousness, not a twin, not a character.
Not a data advantage. What accumulates is one person's model, in service of that person. It is not an asset to be sold, and we do not describe it as one.
No security absolutes. The path forms an identity that is difficult to fake, and that is a design property — not a guarantee of invulnerability, and not an invitation to test one.
Where this connects
To the whole life. This is the memory the route runs on — context is not re-entered every time → One life. One context. One route.
To the human network. The model knows what each relationship is and what has actually happened in it → AI should not replace people.
To the human antivirus. Visible memory, correctable memory, sensitive context kept local, and no scoring of human beings → The more a system can do, the less it should control.
What you can check today
The iOS beta is open: TestFlight. No account, no password.
What you will see: origin, today, best self, far future, life stability, and how the model shifts when your actions disagree with what you said. What is not ready: the transparency screen, for the reason stated above.
