Why I'm building Ready — and the moment it became personal.
For years at Palantir, I built exactly that — systems that watch the world and surface what's moving — for governments and the Fortune 50.
They work. They just cost millions, so only the most powerful ever get one pointed at their world.
Intelligence has always been a privilege of scale. That never sat right with me.
During COVID I quit to chase the hunch — an app for people to track and manage the things they're into, pulling all your scattered sources onto a single map. Think Pinterest meets Google Maps. Half personal hobby, half a belief that everyone deserved this. I gave it two years.
It didn't land — and it took me far too long to understand why.
My map was missing an engine — something that could actually read all those messy sources and connect them the way a sharp analyst would, at a scale no person can match. That engine was being built right in front of me.
I'd heard the name OpenAI a dozen times. Every time, the same thought: just another AI lab. Nothing to do with me. I didn't feel it until ChatGPT landed in 2023 — and only then did the irony land: the missing piece for my own idea was the thing I'd been dismissing all along.
We don't miss things because we don't care. We miss them because we're human. We each have one pair of eyes, and we spend our attention on what's right in front of us — our work, our people, our day. The world we care about is simply bigger than our attention. That's not a flaw. It's the condition.
The engine I was missing finally exists — and aimed at your world, it's close to a superpower. Ready is the radar I've circled my whole career, now within reach for one person. You point it at a world you care about: a field, a market, a list of people, an industry you love. It connects to your sources, structures them into a living map, and keeps watching — so the things you'd have missed find you, while they still matter.
Not another feed. Not a summary you have to trust. A radar that catches what changed, and tells you why it matters to you — so you never lose years to something you could have seen moving.
The next thing that reorders it is already moving. Don't find out in 2023.
