Building a better planet

We build software where the stakes are privacy, precision, and trust.

The Fantastic Planet builds the compute layer underneath AI and simulation — numerical kernels, inference runtimes, ternary silicon — and ships products on top of it.

Flagship

vera·you keeps a verifiable record of your own life.

A companion that listens to your life and keeps a record of it. Encrypted on device before it reaches us. We operate the infrastructure; we cannot read the contents.

Built for the moments where memory is contested — a conversation you’re told didn’t happen that way, a pattern that only becomes visible across months. It is the first product we have taken from architecture to production.

Our role We build and operate the infrastructure. Google Cloud, isolated project, single region, no third-party analytics touching content.

How vera·you works

The record is yours before it is ever ours.

Four steps, in order. Encryption happens first, on the device, so every step after it is operating on ciphertext — including ours.

  1. 01 It listens Conversations and voice memos, captured on your device with a single tap. on device
  2. 02 It encrypts Keys derive from your password, on the device, before anything leaves it. end-to-end
  3. 03 We store ciphertext Isolated cloud project, single region, no third-party analytics touching content. we hold nothing readable
  4. 04 You see the pattern Transcripts, search, and patterns that only become visible across weeks and months. decrypted on your device
Private, and provable A contemporaneous record settles what memory cannot. The design constraint is that it be both — private enough to keep safely, provable enough to hold when someone else disputes it.
Key custody, first The recovery phrase model was designed before the features. If it is lost we cannot help you, and that is the point: there is no path by which we could.
Operated by us, readable by no one We run the infrastructure and stand behind uptime. We cannot read a single sentence of what is in it.

About

We are an operating company, not a studio.

Two lines of work support each other. The first is commercial delivery for institutional clients, principally Financial Times executive events. The second is software: numerical kernels, inference infrastructure, hardware prototyping, and the products built on them.

We build from the bottom. Most of what we ship rests on kernels we wrote ourselves — which is why our inference paths run where other people’s don’t, and why we can make performance guarantees instead of hoping a dependency behaves. vera·you is end-to-end encrypted because the key custody was designed first and the features after.

Work

We make technical work visible, and we write the numerics underneath it.

The same practice that builds a cloth solver builds the kernels the solver runs on. That is why the products and the client work are one company rather than two.

Trust & infrastructure

Privacy by design, not by policy.

Every sentence here has to be literally true. The same document serves the data room and any cloud architecture review.

Where data lives
Google Cloud, isolated project, single region, defined network posture.
What we can see
Ciphertext only. Keys derive from the user’s password, on the device.
Key custody
Recovery phrase model. If it is lost, we cannot help — by construction.
Legal process
A named owner for subpoenas and preservation orders, and a plain statement of what we can produce.
Retention & deletion
Export format, deletion guarantee, and the timeline for both.
Subprocessors
Full list, kept current, with incident-notification commitments.

The services arm funds the product arm. Both are shipping.
