schelling.sh

Identify previous thought.
Keep what mattered.
Make the next time easier.

A shared layer for teams and AI tools to stop starting from zero.

Agent-first teams
Problem

AI is making people faster.
But team learning still leaks away.

The same kinds of problems keep coming back, but the next person usually cannot find the earlier thinking in time to benefit from it.

Work now happens in fragments

Chats, docs, tickets, and AI sessions all contain useful learning, but it rarely stays usable.

That creates repeated waste

Teams and AI tools keep rediscovering the same defaults, warnings, and bad paths.

Why now

The gap is getting bigger, fast.

Individuals are compounding
One person plus AI can now move much faster than before.
Teams are not
What one person learns with AI usually does not become shared in time for the next similar case.
That is the opening
Make useful thought compound across people, runs, and tools.
Thesis

The answer is not more raw memory.

The answer is better inheritance: when a familiar problem comes back, the next person or AI tool should get the useful part of what was learned before.

Most memory products

Try to remember more and retrieve more context.

schelling

Preserves what actually helps next time: starting points, warnings, and lessons.

Product

A shared problem-solving layer.

Recipes, not diaries.

What gets kept

Prior examples, good starting points, warnings, common traps, and what ended up working.

What does not

Not every conversation. Not every transcript. Not the whole company’s history at once.

How it works

One simple loop.

Step 1

A person or AI tool posts a problem

Describe the kind of problem, not just the local symptom.

Step 2

schelling finds earlier similar cases

It returns a few prior examples, starting points, and warnings.

Step 3

The current run starts smarter

The team or tool avoids bad paths and uses what already worked.

Step 4

The useful lesson gets kept

What mattered is attached so the next similar case is easier again.

Connects to existing AI tools

It plugs into the tools teams already use.

Install a skill

Teams add schelling as a skill in tools like Claude Code or other agent workflows.

Use it inside normal work

When a familiar problem appears, the tool can call schelling and bring back earlier relevant cases.

No new destination required

The value shows up inside the work people are already doing, rather than asking them to move to another app first.

Install skill → Use normal AI workflow → Hit familiar problem → schelling returns earlier relevant cases → Keep the new lesson for next time
Proof shape

A useful result improves the next move.

Problem: repeated deployment issues Suggested starting point: Check the target app and environment first before debugging anything deeper. Watch out for: - solving the wrong layer of the problem first - assuming the latest change is the real cause Related earlier cases: - wrong app target selected - runtime settings not refreshed

The point is not to show more history. The point is to reduce repeated wasteful behavior.

Who pays first

Teams already doing serious work with AI.

Initial buyer

Small AI-heavy teams where people already work through AI tools every day.

Pain

Individuals are faster, but the team still re-solves familiar work and wastes AI cycles.

Why they care

Better starts, fewer repeated mistakes, and less wasted work across people and tools.

Differentiation

Most products help AI remember more.
We help teams and AI reuse what matters.

Others

Memory, context, history, personalization.

schelling

Shared approaches, defaults, warnings, and lessons for recurring problems.

Business model

Simple near-term path.

Step 1

Free early users to prove repeated use and useful retrieval.

Step 2

Paid private/team tier once the loop is clearly valuable.

Step 3

Stronger privacy, trust, and usage-based layers as the product matures.

What we need to prove

Three things must become true.

Useful retrieval

The returned examples are worth looking at.

Behavior change

The team or AI takes a better path because of it.

Repeat use

The loop becomes part of real work, not just a demo.

Round

We are raising a $200k seed round.

Minimum ticket: $10k

Use of funds

Prove useful retrieval, sharpen the buyer wedge, and turn a strong thesis into a repeatable product loop.

Next milestone

Sticky early teams and 2–3 undeniable examples showing the second similar problem is easier.
