It All Started in 2010...

The company was born from a doctorate project that aimed to have the biggest positive impact on humanity. In consequence, the founder studied the way humans use knowledge, an essential element in solving any problem.

After extensive research in cognitive science, sociology, and philosophy, it was concluded that Concept Space was the best way to externalize the knowledge lodged inside the human brain. The Relate platform was then created to offer the use of concept spaces to all. The vision of this project is simple: fully exploit human cognition will allow society to reach new heights.

Here are some key elements we hope to implement very soon:

Future research ideas:

  • Mesure long-term benefits of learning through concept-space construction and organization, including lifelong learning.
  • Study how concept-space provides an inclusive tool for both divergent and convergent learning styles, creativity.
  • Provide alternative learning assessment that can't be generated by AI (Chat GPT).
  • Develop detections of patterns in knowledge construction to help identify ADHD and giftedness (probably AI).

Future Features:

  • Tight integration with popular platforms such as Microsoft and Google.
  • Integration of work statistics, allowing users to have a personalized data table.
  • Integration of artificial intelligence (AI)
