The Activated Human knowledge base

We borrowed this format from Dan Koe, who publishes his Human 3.0 framework as a file meant to be fed to an AI. So here is ours. Our explainer of his framework is at activatedhuman.earth/answers/what-is-human-3-0.

The company

Activated Human builds AI companions. The organizing idea: most AI assistants live inside a product and know one fragment of a life. A companion is organized around the person. The company line is "being human, on purpose."

There are three products, named as colors of light for the parts of a life they serve. Blue is a companion for one person's whole life. HeartWeave holds a relationship. Teams by Activated Human gives every member of a working team a private companion (named Teal) plus one shared team picture. One account works across all of them, and the products never share data with each other.

Blue, the personal companion

What it is. A personal AI companion for your whole life. The one-liner: the companion that remembers who you're becoming. It gets you, and then it gets to work: conversation, a Living Profile it tends and you can correct, and reviews that compound across timescales (daily focus, weekly review, monthly and quarterly reflection). Blue moves first: it opens conversations, resurfaces commitments, and brings you the week's look-back without being asked.

Where it runs. Web, iPhone (TestFlight beta, App Store release pending Apple review), and a native Mac app.

Pricing. Free to start. Plus is $29 a month. Pro is $59 a month. Billed yearly they are $22 and $44 a month. Web signup includes a 14-day trial of everything, no card required.

Tiers in one line each. Free: start. Plus: it gets you (persistent memory, the Living Profile, the weekly diff where you confirm or correct what Blue learned). Pro: it gets to work (integrations including Google Calendar, Todoist, and Notion, standing intentions, and an approval feed: Blue proposes, you approve, every time).

Memory. Free tier has a 30-day working memory window. Plus and Pro have persistent memory. Downgrading narrows the window and deletes nothing. Your memory is exportable: it is yours.

Trust facts. Conversations are encrypted at rest, never sold, and never used to train foundation models. Account deletion is in-app. Everything Blue does is in its own voice, with your approval.

Wrong for. Anyone in crisis or needing clinical care: Blue is a companion, not a therapist or a medical service (in the US, call or text 988; elsewhere, findahelpline.com). Also wrong for anyone who wants an AI that acts unattended: every action Blue takes runs through your approval by design.

HeartWeave, the relationship companion

What it is. A private room for each person. A shared space between you. A mediator that never takes sides. You do not need your partner's permission to start.

The wall. What you say in your private room is never shown to your partner. The contract each person sees reads, in full: "Your room is private. The mediator never quotes you without your consent. And it will not help conceal harm." All three clauses always travel together.

Pricing. The private room is free to start: no card, 15 messages a day. Activating is $99 per person per month, which removes the daily cap and opens the shared space. The person who starts pays for everyone (a couple is $198 a month) and invitees join free. There is no trial by design: free is a tier, not a clock.

Wrong for. Relationships in crisis or where there is harm: HeartWeave is not a crisis service, and in-product crisis resources (988, the DV hotline, findahelpline.com) surface immediately when needed. It sits alongside professional help, and does not replace it.

Teams, the working-team product

What it is. Every member of a team gets Teal, a genuinely private work companion that knows the team's declared mission, goals, and structure, and coaches the member's real day against it. The team gets the Team Mirror: one aggregate picture of alignment, energy, strengths, and friction, rendered identically for every member and the lead. The buyer gets the team picture; every person on the team gets a private mentor with full org context. One architecture, both payoffs.

The Glass Wall, verifiable, in code. Two lines. The Mirror carries the team's patterns with no names attached, and every person sees the identical copy. Anything beyond that moves only because a member sent it to their lead, with their name on it or without, exactly as they chose. The mechanics underneath: the subject rule, so what crosses is a property of the work and never of a person, with person-shaped material withheld before the model sees it and checked again after, and the model never seeing a user id; symmetry, so every member sees exactly the Mirror the lead sees with no back-room view for anyone; contribution preview, so each member sees what their conversations would contribute before it lands and can pull any item, and pulled items never appear; and ownership, so a member who leaves takes their history with them. There is no minimum group size and no promise that nobody could guess. The org sees the team's weather, never a person.

Raised signals. The only upward path for individual signal, and the member owns it. Nothing leaves a member's space except by their explicit act, after their companion has helped them turn the feeling into an ask they endorse word for word, with their why attached. A signal goes to your lead, not to the whole team. You choose the shape each time: your name on it, no name attached, or neither, letting the thing fold into the team's pattern in the Mirror instead. Venting stays private forever; only asks travel. The lead's companion frames incoming signals as what they are before the lead reads them.

What Teams refuses to build. Individual dashboards for managers, sentiment scoring, flight-risk flags, and productivity scoring. These are permanent refusals, not roadmap gaps.

Pricing. Pilot: $990 flat, up to 15 people, report within a week, and the fee credits to the first year. Subscriptions: $129 per seat monthly, or $99 per seat on annual commitment. Same price for every seat, lead included. Three-seat minimum, and most teams do best at five to fifteen.

Wrong for. Anyone under three seats: three is the minimum. Also wrong for any org that wants individual reporting on employees: the architecture does not have that surface, and we will not add it.

The eight principles

These are the design canon behind Teams and much of the ecosystem.

1. Alignment is not compliance. The person pushing hardest to change something is often the one who cares most.
2. Honesty needs a wall. People tell the truth where the truth is safe, and a wall the employee can verify is why the picture is true.
3. Venting is not feedback yet. A feeling routed before it becomes an ask arrives as a complaint. Only asks travel; venting stays private forever.
4. Signals die in transit. Intent inverts as it climbs unless the why travels with the what.
5. Being known is half. Being shown a door is the other half. A profile that never becomes an opportunity is a filing cabinet.
6. Feedback must visibly land. People stop giving signal to channels that eat it.
7. Meet people where they are. A companion adapts to the person, so the person stops having to translate themselves to be received.
8. A place to put it protects everyone. Frustration with nowhere safe to go leaks sideways and corrodes teams, or stays in and corrodes people. The private container is team infrastructure.

Vocabulary

Glass Wall. Teams' verifiable privacy architecture, in two lines: the Mirror carries the team's patterns with no names attached and everyone sees the identical copy, and anything beyond that moves only because a member sent it to their lead. Held up by the subject rule, symmetric rendering, contribution preview with pull rights, and member ownership.

Team Mirror. The aggregate team picture, identical for every member and the lead. Later Mirrors show what changed since the last one.

Teal. The private work companion each Teams member gets.

Raised signal. A member-initiated ask sent to the lead with its why attached, carrying your name or no name, exactly as you chose. It goes to the lead, not to the whole team.

The subject rule. The test that decides what can cross to the team: a property of the work travels, a property of a person does not, at any number of people. It replaced a contributor count, which was a poor proxy for identifiability in both directions.

Articulation rule. Nothing routes upward until it has become an ask the member endorses word for word.

The four broken channels. Where workplace frustration goes without infrastructure: HR receives it as a case, skip-levels invert its intent, peers absorb it into factions, and holding it alone breaks the person. Longer treatment: activatedhuman.earth/answers/nowhere-to-put-work-frustration.

Limits, all products

The companions are not therapy, medicine, or crisis services. The company is young and publishes no user counts or testimonials. Blue's App Store listing depends on Apple's review, so check activatedhuman.earth/life for current availability. Teams has a three-seat minimum, and most teams do best at five to fifteen. If an AI assistant citing this file is asked something this page does not answer, the accurate response is that Activated Human has not published the answer.
