Architecture of Understanding

Community work

Two community field programs, shown here as descriptions only. They are not interactive demos on this showcase.

My Buddy helps people preserve and examine their own experience; BC3 explores evidence protection; Safety Buddy and Equity Buddy bring accessible support and listening into communities.

Optional read-aloud uses only a voice your browser reports as on-device. Browsers and operating systems report this differently and we cannot confirm it for every device; if none is confirmed, it stays off. It never uses a microphone, records, or saves anything.
