Research Through Altu

We use working products as research tools. Altu is our live alpha — revealing where AI still struggles with continuity, orchestration, trust, and the long gap between what a model can do and what a product can deliver.

Live alpha

Altu

An extensible AI chat system for conversational partners that maintain useful context and collaboration quality over time.

Altu is our primary research vehicle — a live product where we test continuity, orchestration, and what it takes to make AI collaboration genuinely useful.

  • Conversational continuity
  • Context-oriented interaction
  • Human-AI collaboration quality

Alpha data stewardship: Altu is an early research alpha. We value privacy and handle data thoughtfully, but the system is still evolving. Please avoid sharing highly sensitive personal, financial, health, or confidential information.

What we're learning from Altu

Running Altu in alpha surfaces the gap between what models can do in a demo and what a product needs to deliver over weeks and months. We study how raw interaction becomes durable, retrievable context — and where continuity, provenance, and cost still break down in practice.
