Litica - For the Thinkers

Why we exist

Keep the power to think.

Every tool that answers for us takes a little of the work of thinking with it. That trade is fine for arithmetic. It is dangerous for judgment, curiosity, and the trust we place in each other.

What we do

A lab, and the thinkers around it.

Three things, done in the open: grow the community, study the mind, and build tools that extend it.

Community

Think together

A growing community of researchers, engineers, and curious people. Membership is free. Our open-source work lives here, starting with Pesto.

Research

Perform studies that advance us

We read the science, run our own experiments, and publish what we find. Even the results that did not go our way.

Products

Build tools that extend it

The lab turns research into tools that make people sharper. The first products are on their way.

What we believe

Three commitments.

Humans first

A tool earns its place by making people sharper, not by making them unnecessary.

Trust in people

Technology carries us forward, but trust between people is what lets a species persist.

Think in the open

Our research, our code, and our losses are public.

Writing

What we have learned so far.
