The SoApp vision
SoApp starts with a private event: one group, one place, shared plans and memories. The longer vision is a digital world shaped by perspectives you choose.
One vision. Five phases. Built step by step.
01 — 03 / The path
Events, experiences and planned capabilities each have a purpose of their own. Together, they could lay the foundation for Phase 4: a perspective you choose and control.
Events
A private event gathers the plans, decisions and shared memories in one place. Guests can join from a web link, without installing an app.

Experience Marketplace
A journey could become an experience someone else can follow: the places, little discoveries and lived context that made it yours.

Feature Forge
AI Workstation would help people turn their needs and trusted knowledge into useful capabilities. Feature Forge is planned as the SoApp-facing integration of Workstation, giving the community a controlled way to help shape what the platform can become.

04 / DataClones Long-term vision
All the data you generate on SoApp would build your DataClone: a bubble of experiences, interests, choices and behaviour. It would shape how an algorithm works for you—and how you see the digital world. You control what it represents, shares and is used for.
The world outside stays the same.
Try another point of view
An architect, a chef and a historian could walk through the same square and notice different things. Select a DataClone to explore what their perspective could reveal.
Same place. A different reason to explore.
Illustrative preview of SoApp’s long-term vision. These roles illustrate what different people might notice. A real DataClone would come from a particular person’s activity and experience on SoApp, with sharing controlled by that person.
What you do on SoApp adds experiences, interests and choices. Control what that data represents.
Explore a perspective someone you trust has chosen to share.
Switch perspectives, or step out and return to your own view.
One idea, different possibilities
When information is abundant, the people you trust help you decide what matters. A DataClone could bring their experience into what you discover, how an AI responds, or how a character behaves.
For you
A person you trust can notice things you might miss. Their shared DataClone could bring that experience into your recommendations, while you keep the choice to switch perspectives.
The cook whose taste you trust helps you find a neighbourhood bakery.
For an AI
An AI could use a chosen DataClone as context for what it prioritises, suggests and how it approaches a question. A familiar perspective would still need facts to be checked.
Ask the same question. Explore an answer shaped by a different point of view.
For a character
With their permission, a friend’s DataClone could inspire a game companion’s interests and reactions. An imagined persona could open up a different story.
A companion notices a photo opportunity you might have walked past.
Further possibilities include research and tools for organisations, with clear permission for each use. These applications would need research and validation.
The principle beneath the vision
Your experience should first create value for you.
Tomorrow’s data does not exist yet. What you live next could help you discover more, express a perspective, or make something useful for someone else. Our ambition is to put that choice in your hands.
Controlled by you. Shared by choice.What goes in.You choose what your DataClone represents.
What gets shared.You choose which parts to make available.
How it is used.Clear permissions for each purpose.

05 / Beyond An open horizon
SoStay is the open horizon: exploring how SoApp might become useful across digital and physical life. Its final form is still to be discovered.
Each step should earn its place by being useful to the people who take it.
