Straight answers about how Codex Vivendi works. The Terms of Service and Privacy Policy carry the full detail. This page is the plain version. If something here is not clear, write to us and we will fix the wording.
Your Codex is the collection of what you believe, gathered in one place and written for the people you love. It has four parts. When it is ready, you can print it, frame it and pass it on. Something permanent.
Life Principles are what you believe and why, the core of your legacy. Identity is the values that shaped you, your inner and outer world. Influences are the books, people and ideas you would point someone to if they wanted to understand you. Wisdom is the quotes and insights you keep coming back to.
No. You can start with one principle. Some Contributors write thirty, some write five. There is no correct number, and there is no rush.
There is a community here, with Groups and Forums where Contributors talk about meaning, legacy and the questions worth asking. But it does not work like the feeds you know. No algorithm decides what you see. Nothing is built to hold your attention or steer your thinking. You read what Contributors chose to write, in the order they wrote it.
You decide, for each part of your Codex. There are four levels. Only Me means no other Contributor can read it. My Connections means the people you have approved. All Members means anyone with an account. Public means anyone on the open web. Your Codex starts private, set to Only Me, until you choose otherwise. Whether your writing becomes part of the shared record is a separate question, answered below.
What you believe is yours to write, however uncomfortable others might find it. How you treat other Contributors is another matter. Threats, harassment and attacks on specific people are not allowed, and we act on them. We moderate conduct, not beliefs.
AI built to help people, nature and the generations after us live well together. AI shaped by what people actually value, rather than by whatever gets the most reaction online.
The shared record can be licensed to research and AI organizations under agreements that require them to use it responsibly and in line with our mission. The hope is to give AI a better picture of human values than the reactive noise of the internet. We do not know if it will make a difference. We believe it is worth trying.
Most AI today learns from what people say in passing, the quick comments and the arguments. This is a record of what people believe when they slow down and think about what they want to leave behind.
One person. Niklas Fjellman, a father in Sweden, building this through his company VisSight AB with the help of AI tools and of family, friends and early Contributors. You can read his Codex and see who he is.
No. Everything in your Codex is written by you. You may use a writing tool to help you find the words if you want to, but the belief has to be yours. Everything in the shared record comes from people.
Yes. It is free to start and there is no credit card required. There is no paid tier yet. If that ever changes, we will explain it clearly first.
We are building this to last, but we are honest about uncertainty. If it ever had to close, we would give at least six months notice, keep the export feature open so you can download everything you wrote, and pass the shared record to a mission-aligned archive so it is not lost.
You need to be 18 or over. Beyond that, no. You do not need to be old to have something worth passing on. Start with one principle.
