A private AI assistant where you can learn about the world — without data brokers and future training runs learning about you instead.
Confessions to a data lake
I’ve been building Confer: end-to-end encryption for AI chats. With Confer, your conversations are encrypted so that nobody else can see them. Confer can’t read them, train on them, or hand them over – because only you have access to them.

Introducing Confer, an end-to-end AI assistant that just works.
Confer is bringing foundational AI privacy to Meta
I started building Confer because I saw how amazing LLMs are, and as a result, how much of our data is flowing through them. Already, AI chat apps have become some of the largest centralized data lakes in history, containing more sensitive data than anything ever before. We are using LLMs for the kind of unfiltered thinking that we might do in a private journal – except this journal is an API endpoint to a data pipeline specifically designed for extracting meaning and context.

Hey creators! I’ve been thinking a lot about AI over the last year, but I’ve mostly been speaking about it in little short form clips and in
Introducing interaction models | Thinking Machines Lab
Got to talk at @aidotengineer.bsky.social conf last week about the need for collaborative AI engineering. All our current coding agents are single player. We're trying to scale up individual productivity, but creating tons of alignment problems in the process. We have no good tools for...
