Predicting humansunder pressure

We study the fast, pre-verbal layer of human behavior — turning measurable reactions into intelligence that helps people and systems perform when it matters most.

Understanding human behaviour before conscious decisions emerge

We are building AI models that learn how people react in the first moments after a stimulus, how that reaction develops into a conscious decision, and what they are likely to do next.

We aim to predict not only what a person will do, but how the response emerges over time.

Millions of realhuman decisions.

Every AI today models the part of the brain that reasons. We model the part that reacts — the fast, pre-verbal layer nobody is building. Read straight from gameplay telemetry at 64 Hz, resolved to 15 ms.

We trained Ember and Orbit — the first models built to predict fight-or-flight outcomes — and benchmarked them against leading open-source and frontier LLMs over 1,000 predictions. They are more accurate, orders of magnitude faster, and orders of magnitude cheaper — because they read behaviour directly from telemetry instead of reasoning over text.
