Soon, the way consumers experience the web will change – forever.

  • People will solve most of their day-to-day tasks by talking to capable AI agents: “Find and book me a parking spot,” “Reschedule that meeting,” “Book an appointment with my doctor,” “Order my favorite tacos.” No more screens, no more buttons, no more distractions, no more microdecisions. But consumers will only switch from traditional apps to AI agents if they deliver a 10x better user experience – ideally, from the very first interaction. To deliver that 10x experience, agents must understand their users deeply, know their preferences and interests, and have access to recent context.
  • Independent AI developers will need to pool their user knowledge if they want any chance of matching the personalization capabilities of big tech giants – and if they want their agents to deliver personalized experience from the very first request, without lengthy training and onboarding.
  • AI users will want freedom of choice and an unmatched experience. They will want to use agents from different providers without being locked into products from a few monopolists. As they switch between AIs, they will want to carry their context with them. On top of that, users will want control – they will need complete transparency over how and when their data is collected, stored, secured, and shared, plus the ability to manage access.

ESSENCE makes all of this possible.

ESSENCE is a central repository of user knowledge and insights. The data is collected from users' interactions with AI agents, securely stored, and made available to other agents when they need it.

When an agent needs to know more about a user, it sends a request to ESSENCE and provides its current context. ESSENCE returns the relevant information and simultaneously extracts new facts and insights from the provided context, adding them to the user's knowledge graph.

ESSENCE is implemented as MCP and REST API servers. The documentation is available here.

You can add new insights from your emails and social networks to the graph at My ESSENCE page. You can update and delete existing insights by selecting them in the graph. You can specify the sharing preferences by talking to your ESSENCE agent.
