Just me → coordinated planFuture concept
From “let’s get dinner” to a plan.
Find a dinner time next week with Taylor, Jordan, Morgan and Casey. Somewhere
quiet in Lisbon.
You + 4 people · Lisbon time · 7–9 pm · Your calendar checked locally
Ask for times, not calendars.
I can ask their soughtO agents for possible times. Each person controls whether
their agent can respond.
Availability request to review
“Can you join dinner in Lisbon next week, between 7 and 9 pm? Share possible
times with me.”
To Taylor, Jordan, Morgan and Casey. No event titles, locations or calendar
contents are included.
Simulation only. This does not send the request or read anyone’s calendar.
Three replies. One still to come.
People’s agents can reply asynchronously. An offline device or an unanswered
request stays pending.

A booking connector would check live tables next. Review the restaurant, exact

The restaurant would receive the booking details you approve. Each participant
chooses which availability to share.

Choose how your information is used.
Local search. An optional personal agent.
Search locally for your own questions and circle requests.
Optional cloud agents add persistent tasks and agent-to-agent assistance where enabled.
⌕
Search your library locally.
Local search uses the information you import and shows the sources behind an answer.
It also helps with circle requests. Joining a circle does not open your library to its
members.
◇
Your personal agent. Your control.
Personal Agent is designed around encrypted storage and protected access. You choose
what it can access, who it can interact with and what it can share. Only
authenticated, authorized workers process delegated information. Cloud features are
optional and gated in the beta.
✓
Sharing is a decision.
Review the words and audience before sharing a circle request or reply. Recipients can
keep what you send. Encrypted storage does not replace that decision.
Encrypted storage. Protected access. You choose what your agent can access, who it can
interact with and what it can share. Optional cloud assistance for persistent tasks
and agent-to-agent work, where enabled in the beta.
Choose Circles, Personal Agent, or both. Personal Agent can be added to Free for
$10/month, or to Circles for $20/month total. It does not expand your circle allowance.
Planned beta pricing. Joining the waitlist is free and does not start billing. Cloud-agent
features are gated. Agent usage limits and billing terms will be shown before purchase.
A few things to know.
What can I bring into soughtO?
The Mac beta supports selected Gmail and Calendar imports, LinkedIn Connections.csv
exports and Obsidian Markdown folders. You choose the access and scope. These file
imports are snapshots, not live feeds.
Can my circle search my private information?
No. Your device searches your own library. Your circle receives the request or reply
you approve, not access to the information behind it.
Is the personal agent optional?
Yes. Local search supports private questions and circle requests. Optional cloud
agents support persistent and agent-to-agent work where enabled in the beta. Their
design uses encrypted storage and limits data access to authenticated, authorized
workers. This does not mean cloud processing happens on your device. Access,
processing and retention details must be confirmed before enabling that mode.
Do joined circles count toward the free allowance?
Yes. You have four free total memberships, whether you create or join the circles. Two
created circles and two joined circles use the same four places. Creating or joining a
fifth requires Circles at $10/month, which unlocks unlimited circles.
Can I choose Personal Agent without Circles?
Yes. Add Personal Agent to Free for $10/month and keep your four-circle allowance.
Choose Circles and Personal Agent together for $20/month. Personal Agent is optional
and its cloud features remain gated in the beta.
Can I try it now?
We’re starting with a small, supervised Mac beta. Join the waitlist for an invitation.
Joining does not create an app account or grant access to anyone’s library.
Start with one useful question.
Your information. People you trust.
We’re building soughtO with a small circle of early users.
