After a 3 year break, I'm a founder again With @0xtiagofneto, I'm building Mio - a tool to share your preferences across apps Last week, we spent an afternoon writing our manifesto mio . xyz

We started Mio to liberate the web I love the internet, it's how I've met most of my friends and coworkers. But it's broken AI risks deepening the concentration power in the hands of those with the most data and compute

AI is rewiring the internet to become infinitely personalised But right now, AI doesn't know who you are We're building Mio because AI needs context Not just memorizing facts, but using contextual intelligence seeded from your own data

Most teams are solving personalisation backwards by learning progressively about you based on usage We go upstream. We derive preferences from your existing data offering personalisation from your very first interaction, while preserving privacy Today, every app has its own algorithm. With Mio, every user brings their own

Mio is a tool for you to share your preferences across apps Mio is your portable identity for the AI era. It's the gateway to an internet that works for you, is personalized to you and is controlled by you Developers can think of Mio as context as a service or automated context engineering.

Why now? AI makes everything personal. Programmable cryptography makes everything portable Together, they crack open the platform monopoly: and make space for new giants to emerge We can build something better: private, portable, human-first That’s why we’re building Mio: to carry forward the values the internet was meant to have, in tools built for today

In the next few months, we’re shipping the best context tool with: Portability by default: your context moves seamlessly across apps Day-one personalization: we derive preferences from your data, so apps feel tailored from the start Two-way integration: apps that read and write to Mio

We’re a small team of repeat founders, open-source contributors, AI researchers and applied cryptographers building the connective tissue of a better internet. Looking for a place to do your life's work? We're hiring

We’re onboarding new teams to the beta each week and are already powering apps with hundreds of thousands of users Join the waitlist @ mio . xyz
