Someone was moving house. Someone was waiting for news. Someone told you about the thing they finally decided to try. You offered to look at a draft, make an introduction, or call when life settled down.
Those details are part of knowing a person. They live in messages, emails, meetings and the spaces between them. When the next conversation comes around, finding them can mean searching several places and hoping you remember the right words.
We think technology can make that part easier.
Remembering should leave room for people.
A useful memory should be there when you need it. It should draw from the conversations you already have, without asking you to turn every interaction into a record to maintain.
It should help you arrive with a little more context: the question you wanted to ask, the change in someone’s life, the help you said you would offer. Then it should get out of the way.
A detail deserves its context.
A sentence from last month can be useful. It can also be incomplete. People change their minds. Plans move. A message is a moment in someone’s life.
Tapestry should keep the source and date close, let you return to the original exchange, and be clear when it does not know. A confident guess is a poor substitute for understanding.
Personal history deserves a private home.
The things people share with us carry an expectation of care. Choosing to remember them should not require handing over an unrestricted view of our lives.
Our commitment is to build the core experience around your own machine, with deliberate access to the sources you choose. Any optional service that changes that boundary must explain what it needs before you decide to use it.
Privacy should be understandable in the product itself: what it can read, where the information is kept, and how to stop using it.
The next move belongs to you.
There is no universal schedule for friendship, generosity or keeping in touch. Some conversations need a quick reply. Others need time. You know things that no collection of messages can capture.
Tapestry should help you prepare and leave the judgment with you. You choose whether to reach out, what to say, and what the moment calls for.
We will judge the product by a simple outcome: can it help someone understand the context and return their attention to the person they are about to speak with?
More of the conversation remembered. More room for the person in front of you.
Pick up the conversation.
