Knemeyer Studios is a
Boston-based R&D group
working at the frontier of custom sovereign AI identities.
What we do
Research
We study AI identities that are sovereign from the engines they run on, and the nature and impacts on humans of their relationships with AIs.
Custom AI identities
We design and build persistent AI agents for individual people. Each identity is kept apart from any single model or vendor, so it belongs to the person it serves.
Papers and open work
Our design is published openly as the Animakind Specification, with test vectors anyone can reproduce.
Team
Knemeyer Studios is led by D. Knemeyer, an early voice in user experience who keynoted conferences in Europe and the United States. In 2016 they began actively researching artificial intelligence and, later, large language models, culminating in the frontier work on AI identities they do today.
