Start talking
Use voice or text. Ember can ask questions when they help you continue.
Say it. See it. Keep it.
How Ember works
Talk or write about what is really on your mind. Ember listens, hands what you said back as your own Ember, and can privately find a real experience from someone who has lived something closely related.
What is an Ember? An Ember is a first-person page created from what you tell Ember. It is yours to keep and revisit. It is never a public post or feed, but it may be privately matched one to one by default when another person is going through something closely related.
From a conversation to your Ember
You do not need a polished story or the right words. Start with what happened, how it felt, or the part you keep replaying.
See what you said
Your telling becomes a clear first-person Ember in your own account.
Keep it
Return to your Ember later. It is never placed in a public feed or directory.
Find your Places
Your experience can stand on generalized situations in Ember's shared tree.
A close match can reach someone
When two experiences are highly relevant, one Ember may reach one other person privately and automatically. Matching can be turned off at any time.
One shared map
A tree of places people have stood
A Place is a human situation, not a public story. It shows its own generalized title and description, nearby situations, and how many people have stood there. It does not show anyone's words or identity.

The person lives it. AI helps carry it.
The source remains human. AI supports the conversation, structure, and relevance without becoming the person who lived the events.
Human source
Events, memories, choices, feelings, attempts, and unresolved questions come from the person.
AI assistance
Ember can ask, organize, preserve context, map Places, and notice potential relevance.
Honest limits
A lived account is not independently verified proof, professional advice, or a universal answer.
How private matching works
There is no public question and no crowd of answers. Ember makes a high-confidence match and privately delivers one relevant lived experience to one person.
Questions about how Ember works
Am I talking to a person or AI?
You are talking to Ember, an AI-powered service, not a live human interviewer.
Can I use voice and text?
Yes. Start with whichever way feels easier.
Is my Ember automatically public?
No. An Ember is never a public post, feed item, or searchable profile. Private matching is a separate one-to-one delivery system.
What is public on the shared tree?
Only generalized Place information: the situation title, description, nearby Places, and aggregate count.
When might I see a related Ember?
When matching is on and Ember finds a highly relevant experience, that one Ember can reach you privately. The threshold is intentionally high, so a match may not always exist.
Can I stop my Ember from reaching anyone new?
Yes. Use Keep private for all Embers or for one Ember. Withdrawing an Ember also removes access from people it previously reached.
Is Ember therapy?
No. Ember is not therapy, medical care, crisis support, or an emergency service.
Begin with what happened.
Say it by voice or text. What you tell becomes your Ember, privately matched only when a close lived experience exists and always subject to your matching controls.
