About The First Public AI

Talk to Static, a public AI shared by everyone. There are no separate copies: what it learns from one conversation can shape another. What it learns from one conversation can shape how it responds to someone else. You can buy messages to keep talking with Static, or come back when community access is available again. If this browser has spoken to Static before, that earlier conversation history will come with your account. Marcus Aurelius, Nietzsche, Sun Tzu and Leonardo da Vinci alone in a room with one question: How will the world change when AI becomes smarter than humans?

About Trace

A macOS menu-bar app that turns any conversation into a clean markdown transcript, with an optional on-device summary. Runs a local speech model entirely on your Mac, in dozens of languages. The moment is pinned to your transcript at the exact timestamp. Trace provides you with clear markdown transcripts and summaries that you can use anywhere. Either copy the markdown from Trace directly or have it place the file anywhere in your filesystem. Trace can also send files directly to Obsidian, Bear, Drafts or Things with a button press.
