Building the World's Largest Open Dataset of Human Reasoning
We're collecting real-time recordings of how people think through problems — capturing the messy, authentic cognitive process that AI desperately needs to learn from.
What We're Collecting
Think-aloud data captures your thoughts as they happen — not polished explanations, but your real reasoning process including:
- •Hesitations and "aha" moments
- •Dead-ends and course corrections
- •How you break down complex problems
- •Your natural problem-solving strategies
Why It Matters
AI models today are trained on polished, after-the-fact explanations. They've never seen how humans actually think in real-time.
Your authentic reasoning — complete with uncertainty, exploration, and self-correction — is exactly what's needed to train AI that truly understands human cognition.
The Data Scarcity Crisis
After decades of research, humanity has collected less than 700 hours of this type of data globally. That's barely enough to train modern AI systems.
