Our mission
Reintroduce care and communication as the operating system of any thriving community.
We don’t believe AI saves humanity by being smarter than us. It saves us by waking us up to what we’ve forgotten, how to listen, coordinate, repair trust, and move together. That’s the only AI we want to build.
On our philosophical lineage
Whatever we bring to life is never invented from nothing.
The ideas behind COROS come from a long line of thinkers and practitioners who redefined what it means to be human, how language works, and how coordination happens. We stand on their shoulders.
Fernando Flores
Statesman and philosopher who turned Heidegger, Austin, and Maturana into a practical art of coordinating action in language.
Chauncey Bell
Flores’ long-time collaborator; co-creator of The Coordinator and a teacher of designing in conversations.
The tradition
Searle, Dreyfus, Varela, Winograd, Solomon, a living stream of work on language, moods, trust, and being.
COROS
We carry that stream into a new technological form, an AI that provokes, not panders.
“We stand on the shoulders of those who saw the future long before the world was ready.”
