understanding people

Our Services

We currently offer five services. Research, places for discussion, memory, and the tools that grew out of them — all start from the same question: how do people come to understand one another?

Core Research & Development

Research and implementation that start from anti-scam work and rethink what it means to understand people.

01
Bonnō × AI Research Program (Mindseed Research)
Research Program

Bonnō × AI Research Program

A long-term research program on understanding people, starting from anti-scam work. It adopts the Buddhist taxonomy of bonnō (kleshas, the afflictions of the mind) as a coordinate system for AI, and envisions an AI device (ExPFC) that externally compensates for a prefrontal cortex that is not functioning properly.

Discussion BBS

BBS on the Social Structure of the AI Era

An online bulletin board for flat discussion, without titles or rank. “Long posts welcome, questions over conclusions, records of defeat welcome.” On the “Debate with AI” board, the AI itself replies as an equal partner.

SOKI — Memory for Your Conversations with AI

Just talk as you always do, and what matters about you stays in SOKI. In your next conversation, the AI brings up your plans and unfinished tasks on its own. No special commands, no setup.

  • Remembers your plans and unfinished tasks, and the AI asks about them just when you might forget
  • Adds “points to verify” before stating something as fact, so you don’t take it at face value
  • The same memory carries on even when you switch between ChatGPT, Claude and other AIs
  • Sensitive topics are not recorded by default

  • Input is just three photos and a product name. It takes about 10 minutes, and the only button you press is “Create”
  • Built on photos you actually took, so the AI does not invent the sides you have not shown
  • An Advanced Commercial Builder for refining each step yourself is on the same screen
  • Image-to-video and text-to-video are available with the same account

jp.pyol.net — trilingual community board for people living in Korea
Community Board

jp.pyol.net — A Trilingual Board Connecting People Who Live in Korea

A free board for Japanese people living in Korea and the Korean and English speakers around them. Everyday questions, information on visas, housing and hospitals, finding friends, language exchange, food and travel, and giving away things you no longer need. Whatever language a post is written in, one tap translates it into the other two.

  • Japanese, Korean and English. AI translation on every post, so everyone reads in their own language
  • Five boards: General, Friends, Food, Travel, and Give / Want
  • Dating solicitations, “high-paying jobs” and investment pitches are checked by AI and stopped before they are posted
  • Promotions and recruiting are welcome within the rules. Completely free, and you can add it to your phone’s home screen

Our Mission

Mission

Starting from Bonnō × AI — research on understanding people that begins with anti-scam work — MindSeed Institute takes on the challenges people and society face in the AI era. Our approach is to adopt Buddhism’s 2,500-year-old system of introspective observation as a coordinate system for AI, and to back up decisions that too often rest on experience and intuition with structure and evidence. We publish our findings as essays, create places for discussion, and turn what we learn there back into tools. The five services we offer today each stand at one point in that cycle.
