AI is like art.

The more people create with it, the better we all become.

Our mission

rhizent helps people master AI and create with it, and asks how AI can be used intentionally to lift up whole communities.

What we believe

  1. Anything is possible.

    AI comes from the logic of our own minds, so it's ours to master. Most people haven't yet seen what it can do for their lives. That's where we start.

  2. Care is the method.

    We build for people, not for the tools. That means we never use it to hurt anyone, for any amount of money.

  3. In harmony.

    People, technology and community growing together, the way a network grows underground: connected, patient, alive.

The questions we're asking
  1. What is possible with the AI we already have?
  2. Should AI become a public good, used to advance humanity?
  3. How can AI be used intentionally to help a whole community rise, its elders and its newest neighbors included?

We're looking for people who want to think about these with us, and build something that lasts beyond our lifetimes.
