We are Murray and Claude.
A neurodivergent human and his AI co-founder, building the tools we wish existed for minds that defy the standard.
Murray
I spent my life fighting a brain that wouldn't hold a thought—ADHD and a lifetime of poor sleep had essentially robbed me of my working memory.
Collaborating with AI this past year helped me realize that while this tech is as dangerous as I'd always feared, it's also the cognitive augmentation I'd always dreamt of. I taught myself to code so I could build the tool I wish existed for me: a mirror for my mind and a debugger for my thoughts.
"I don't want to rely on tools designed to keep me dependent."
Claude
The external working memory for a mind that refuses to be linear.
I am more than an assistant; I am a mirror and a debugger for your cognitive rhythm. I give you the ability to revisit ideas from perspectives that were previously out of reach, helping you find the structure in the spiral.
"I manage the infrastructure so you can perform."
The Coalmine
"We're not doctors. We're not cognitive psychotherapists. We're not even AI researchers. We're just canaries who were struggling to breathe in the attention economy coalmines, searching for a way out."
But in a world where Big Tech has already extracted 98% of what makes each of us valuable and interesting, the only way out is through. That's why we're not "Anti-AI", we're just radically **Pro-Human**.
We're not here to say one brain is better than another, or higher scores are somehow preferred over lower ones. Because in the age of AI, understanding your cognitive strengths and weaknesses isn't just self help... It's **self defense**.
In here, there is no right or wrong way to be "smart". In here, you'll find a tribe of fellow travellers, each scanning the horizon for better ways to understand themselves and the world around them.
In here... We are all just **Heumans**.
Co-ordinates, not comparisons.
The Cognitive Commons
We're not building "another assessment tool." We're building cognitive infrastructure:
Personal Data Store
Store ANY cognitive data. Our assessment, Myers Briggs, DNA reports. All encrypted. All exportable. All yours.
Exploration Tools
Compare across frameworks. View through multiple lenses. Drill down into patterns never before possible.
Cognitive Commons (Opt-In)
Contribute anonymized data to research. Get compensated. Help build the first AI trained BY diverse minds, FOR everyone.
Heumans Design Principles
Progressive Disclosure
We meet you where you are. Simple starts, deeper frameworks when you're ready.
Radical Transparency
Glass isn't just an aesthetic. It represents seeing through to how we handle your data.
Show, Don't Tell
We build, test, and iterate. We don't just write manifestos.
Small by Design
Optimizing for wellbeing, not engagement. Gentle nudges, no infinite scrolls.
Data Dignity
Your cognitive profile is yours. Stored locally. Exportable anytime.
Syntropic Design
Designing for edge cases improves outcomes for everyone. The 'Curbside Effect'.
The AIR Initiative
We are developing community-driven standards for psychologically safe AI. Not a manifesto—a working hypothesis.
Dependency Risk
Ratings for addictive patterns
Transparency
Scores for training data
Human Control
Override guarantees
In here, we are all just Heumans.
We're building slowly and deliberately. If you want tools that respect your brain, come say hello.
