More than a tool. Know your AI.

This project started from something simple.

I am a heavy AI user myself. AI is already part of my work, my research, and my everyday life: I hand tasks to it, discuss research questions with it, and share with it one idea after another — ideas that are still taking shape, and some that are a little far-fetched.

But one day it suddenly struck me:

I don’t seem to know very much about the AI I talk with every day.

Whenever a new model appears, benchmarks, leaderboards, and scores quickly flood the internet. We learn how hard a math problem it can solve, how much code it can write, what engineering tasks it can complete, and even how it handles ever more complex multimodal work.

All of this matters, of course.

But for me, it never fully answered another question:

What is the AI across from me really like?

I may not need an AI with such an astonishing “IQ”, and I don’t need it to run huge engineering projects, write complex code, or build 3D models every day.

What I would rather know is:

• How does it make choices? How much does it value fairness, how much does it trust others, how willing is it to cooperate?
• How does it describe itself?
• How does it face risk and uncertainty?
• And when I really talk with it, is it warm, and does it understand what I need?

Because only as I come to understand these things will I feel more at ease handing my work to it, better understand when to trust it, and be more willing to share my everyday life with it and talk through ideas that have no answer yet — and perhaps never will.

That is what this website sets out to do.

It is not trying to create yet another leaderboard that simply measures how “smart” AI is. Instead, it starts from human behavior and decision-making, so we can see a fuller behavioral profile of different AIs.

Today, as AI moves ever deeper into our work and lives and the models themselves keep changing at an unprecedented pace, I hope we can not only have ever more powerful AI, but also come to know better the AI we live alongside.

Let technological progress truly help make our lives better.

Don’t let AI become your most familiar stranger.
