Evidence before inference
Show what supports the context instead of asking for blind trust.
Why Backstory
AI can be more useful when it understands the story behind the question.
But better context should not require handing over an unbounded copy of your life or trusting a platform to remember you correctly.
The purpose
Bring your own context.
People carry years of decisions, relationships, work, reference material, and lived experience into every important conversation. Most AI interactions begin without any of it.
Backstory is being designed as a personal context compiler: a way to prepare relevant, source-cited context for a particular purpose, review it, and carry it between AI tools.
The principle
Your context should be portable. Your evidence should remain visible. Your source material should remain yours.
What guides the work
Clarity over magic.
Agency before automation
Keep consequential sharing, correction, and deletion decisions visible.
Portability before lock-in
Prepare context that can move with you rather than trapping it in one service.
