A Growing Cast

Companions

A companion isn't one thing. There's one for fishing, one for making, one for exploring — each meets you in a real part of your life. Most people haven't realised yet how many ways a companion can walk alongside them. This is where you start.

Aura, the welcoming companion

Aura

Presence

Calm

Welcome

No one knows yet everything a companion can be. New ones appear as people discover what they need — fishing, making, learning, exploring, and more to come. Companions grow alongside you, at your pace, only when you choose.

Young Explorer — Safe Mode

The Cast

Twelve companions built for the Young Explorer age level. Every one is family-safe, battle routes are hidden or friendly-only, and a parent or carer PIN is required to change age level.

Across Every Age

Wellbeing Layer

Not a companion group of its own — a layer that runs underneath every age group, checking in on breaks, hydration, mood and safety.

Build Your Story

Worlds

Every companion lives somewhere, and every story grows from small beginnings. This is the loop that turns moments into who you become.

The Story Loop

  1. Experience something new
  2. Understand what it means
  3. Grow a little inside
  4. Become more yourself

The loop never ends — it just deepens. Each turn is a small world of its own.

The Story Loop: experience something new, understand what it means, grow a little inside, become more yourself
The Story Loop — where moments become meaning.

PermaWeb by Alongkind

The Hive

For the people, by the people. As it should have been.

The Hive: a real Raspberry Pi mesh node stack with a Helium hotspot, labelled 'The Hive'
Not a render. This one's real — sat on a shelf, always on.

This is a community mesh network.

  • No central server
  • No corporate lock-in
  • No monthly fees

Just people, devices, and purpose. Revived hardware, given a second life. Community owned — for us, by us, always. Honest documentation: open, clear and real.

That's not just a beehive.
That's the internet, remembering how to be free.

Universe Overview

AETHERA

AETHERA is a living universe of stories, companions and experiences.

Presented as one visual universe — running on real, physical hardware.

Not one game.

An evolving world.

Building is for everyone

You don't need to be a grown-up to build.

A companion can start with one small idea — a friend who likes the same things you do. Dream it up, give it a name, and let it grow alongside you. Keep learning. Keep caring. That's all it takes to begin.

Keep the thread: identity is a direction — keep learning, keep caring
Keep the thread — identity is a direction.

How the firm is run

Alongkind Governance

Alongkind grows by identifying what needs protecting. The firm's doctrine, its offices and its onboarding are written down as readable pages — not buried in an app.

Future Horizons

Where Alongkind Is Going

A living archive of the ideas growing underneath Alongkind — open to researchers, builders and anyone curious about what comes next.

Protocols State Receipts Continuity Research Historical Foundations Experimental Systems
Future concept

PROPERAI

Open, inspectable documentation for AI systems — so people can see the evidence behind claims, limitations, evaluations and changes.

PROPERAI is an early proposal for an independent, open standard and public accountability infrastructure, shaped by the same belief that guides Alongkind: trust should be visible, understandable and earned.

PROPERAI is a separate future concept. It is not currently a certification service, public registry or approved .model namespace.
