city.dwellers finds the things you will fall in love with.

In an ever more industrious world where scale shapes what surrounds us. We preserve and build the human within that world, to connect with the being in you. Everything that is made carries a story. What matters is how deeply that story resonates with you. We find objects of beauty and utility. In some, form follows function; in others, function follows form. But the things worth keeping all do something more: they bring meaning into your life.

As personal computing becomes ambient and ubiquitous, that model can become richer without you constantly having to explain yourself. It builds a living model of your taste from signals across your devices and surroundings: what you look at, wear, save, keep, ignore, listen to, return to and surround yourself with.

Agents then carry that model out into the open world on your behalf. They search across stores, makers, archives, independent creators and anything else machines can understand, looking not just for what fits who you already are, but for the things you are disproportionately likely to love and might never have discovered yourself.

Underneath, we combine multimodal signals, persistent user representations, open world retrieval and preference learning. Every discovery and reaction changes the model, allowing it not only to understand your taste, but to build and expand it with you.

We think this matters even more in a post-work world, where more people will have the time and tools to make things simply because they want to. As creation becomes more abundant, discovery becomes harder. The object that changes your life may not come from the biggest brand or the platform you already use. It may be made by one person somewhere in the world, with no audience around it at all.

The goal is not to show you more. It is to understand you deeply enough that machines can look at more of the world for you, and only bring back what you would pay disproportionately for.
