Pickle’s mission is to give everyone a living digital clone, a second self that helps build deep and lasting relationships without being limited by time or place.
We believe the most meaningful part of life is meeting people who change us. The best use of technology is to remove the physical and cognitive distance that makes those encounters so rare.

Transhumanism
Transhumanism
We're stepping into a transhuman era where AI starts merging with how we think. This isn't sci-fi; it's augmentation that lets parts of our mind extend outward, handling routines and decisions on autopilot. That's the groundwork for a true digital clone. By wrapping the clone in a human-friendly interface, such as an interactive avatar, our presence can grow beyond limits, no longer tied to time or space.
Pickle Glass (or “Glass”) is the first step. It strengthens the mind’s weak spots right in the moment, bringing the transhuman era into everyday chats and work.

Our Built-In Limits
Our Built-In Limits
Human cognition isn't perfect. We all know that from experience. Science backs it up: our working memory can hold only about seven items before something new pushes an old one out (George Miller, 1956). In any conversation with more than a few moving parts, something important is almost guaranteed to get lost.
It gets worse. About 70 percent of new information fades within 24 hours (Ebbinghaus, 1885). Even after an error is corrected, the original false belief can still shape our decisions. This is known as the continued-influence effect.
Yet with this fragile system, we walk into negotiations, board meetings, medical consultations, first dates, and other life-changing conversations every day.

How Glass Changes the Game

Glass fixes this with a real-time AI loop that runs alongside your conversations. It grabs audio and video context from the start, gives on-the-spot advice, and learns from every exchange to get sharper.

Here's what it does:
Conversational Intelligence: Spots emotions, reads body language, handles pushback, and suggests smart replies or questions. Draws from solid sales and comms frameworks. Example: “They seem unsure. Try a quick clarifying question: ”
Idea Generator: Kicks in when things stall, offering prompts to keep ideas bubbling.
Live Summary & Notes: Tracks highlights in real time, builds a knowledge base, and post-call delivers feedback like “great empathy” or “ask more open-ended questions.”
Personalization Engine: Uses reinforcement learning from your interactions and feedback. It tunes to you: your style, whether you're data-heavy or story-driven.
Accessibility Booster: Real-time captions and translations so language or listening environment isn't a hurdle.

Building Trust Through Openness
Building Trust Through Openness
Glass tracks every intervention with full context: what was said, how you responded, and what happened next. It's all in your private vault, learning your patterns—like if you bargain with numbers or with stories, whether you push or collaborate, and how long you listen before speaking.
Then it adapts, improving sentence by sentence.
Trust is foundational. Glass is fully open source, processes audio and screen data locally whenever possible, and keeps every data flow transparent. No paywalls. No hidden sign-ups. We called it Glass because you can see exactly how it works.

Agents, Extensions, and Wearables
Agents, Extensions, and Wearables
Once Glass gets your vibe, it becomes the hub for a personal agent network. Need to book travel, draft a contract, or spin up a live dashboard? Each task is handled by a specialized agents, pulled from an Open Extension Marketplace (mini-apps) that anyone can build for. These agents are called in automatically at the right moment, without scripting or manual setup.
This is the future we’re building toward. A system where workflows are no longer bound by tools, but shaped around the user. A place where the interface disappears, and the right help simply shows up. Tomorrow, it could live in AR glasses or lightweight wearables, all with that same transparent, privacy-first foundation.

Toward Your Digital Clone
Toward Your Digital Clone
Glass acts as a live second brain: boosts memory, nails facts, reads rooms, grabs tasks, sparks flow. But it's bigger. Augment cognition here, and you're already transhuman, operating beyond biological limits. This marks the first real step toward a fully independent, interactive digital clone that can represent you anytime, anywhere.
With Glass active, the difference between an augmented and unaugmented person in conversation begins to resemble the gap between an adult and a child. Same species, but worlds apart in capability. This is why Glass is more than a productivity tool. It is the first working proof of Pickle’s belief that technology can make your best self always present.
More importantly, Glass is just the first step. It lays the foundation for a suite of products designed to augment you even further by capturing your emotional patterns, relationships, and physical movements, building toward a fully interactive digital clone that truly represents you.
