Acuity.Agent: Creating Pathways to Wisdom
Acuity.Agent is the Acuity Institute's knowledge assistant for exploring sacred texts, philosophy and spiritual traditions. It searches a library of more than 20,000 sacred texts, reads the relevant passages and develops answers with traceable source references. Acuity.Agent is pre-release; access is by waitlist.
How the research works
1. Search: locates relevant material in the knowledge library. 2. Read: inspects passages and surrounding context. 3. Synthesise: connects evidence to the question and cites sources. 4. Clarify limits: distinguishes quotation from interpretation and states when evidence cannot be found.
Instruments of Clarity (under development)
A single future interface for self-exploration and creation, building on the Library and Acuity.Agent. Its facets: The Archive (discover and read the curated corpus), The Lens (ask questions, compare sources, inspect evidence), myVault (personal workspaces, notes, conversations and outputs), Context Spheres (visually organise and explore a workspace) and Studio (summaries, study material and audio from selected sources). None is available yet.
Acuity Apps
LumenNous: an open contemplative library of daily prayers, affirmations, guided practices and sacred listening. myAeon: an interactive solar system and reflective birth-chart workspace.
