What I'm building

Two tools for the same question: who are you, really?

I built two AI-powered tools that approach self-understanding through real conversation — not quizzes, not questionnaires. Five lenses, validated frameworks, and a profile that leads with what's most interesting about you: your tensions.

Where it started

What it became

The Overview Flow

One conversation. All five territories. Your pace.

The same methodology in a single flowing dialogue. The AI weaves through all five territories naturally. Pick a mode — deep, efficient, or surprise — and go.

The Overview Profile

Five conversations. Five lenses. One synthesis.

Five separate AI-guided conversations — each approaching you from a different angle. You choose a guide for each lens. Structured, thorough, and deep.

A moment that stayed with me

Distance can change what matters

Years ago, I came across the Overview Effect. It stayed with me because it captures something simple but powerful: when you step back far enough, the noise changes. What looked separate starts to feel connected. What looked urgent sometimes looks a bit theatrical.

What is the Overview Effect? Open the idea behind the name
The overview effect is a cognitive shift reported by astronauts when they see Earth from space for the first time. Looking down at the planet from orbit or the moon, they experience a sudden, profound sense of how fragile and interconnected everything is. Borders disappear, conflicts seem absurd, and the thin atmosphere looks like it could vanish. The term was coined by Frank White in 1987. It's often described as a mix of awe, unity, and a strong urge to protect the planet.

That is the thread running through this site: step back, see the bigger picture, and then return with better questions.

Who is behind this

I am an IT business consultant who got tired of reducing people to bullet points on a resume. So I started experimenting. With AI, with ideas, with the question of what it actually takes to understand someone. What started as a prototype became two real tools — and the process of building them taught me as much as the tools themselves.
