An AI advisory board. Four birds. Four quadrants. Together they are your Bird Brain. The Empire of Epistemic Empathy.
Built in public. No drop date. The build log is the product until the product is the product.
Every productivity app on Earth is trying to build you a second brain. That is not what I need. I have a first brain that arrives at the answer before the question lands. I do not need a place to store more. I need a place to be seen.
The Bird Brain App is an AI advisory board built around the four quadrants of the Bird Brain Johari Window. Eagle for what is known. Parrot for what is blind. Owl for what is hidden. Hummingbird for what is unknown. Together, they are not a second brain. They are a second pair of eyes.
Empire of Epistemic Empathy means empathy for HOW you know what you know. Not just what you feel. The processing layer underneath. The reason you arrive whole and the rest of the room arrives in pieces.
Sam Parr and Shaan Puri said three words two years ago and did not realize what they had given me. Empires with Empathy: capital E, capital E. I built it on top.
A second brain is for storage. A Bird Brain is for sight.
