We need AI to strengthen our human bonds, not drive us apart.
AI can move data to knowledge in seconds. Wisdom still takes a relationship, the kind only humans can build with each other. H2H keeps humans in control: growing the collective intelligence that has always been humanity's greatest power, all within a framework that ensures our AI agents answer to us, not to a platform.
Trust is collapsing, right when we need it most.
Social media polarization eroded our capacity for consensus. Now agentic AI assistants built for individual efficiency are deepening the isolation. Real progress, the kind MIT researchers trace to collective intelligence, depends on high-quality relationships between people, not one brilliant voice working alone.
Nobody can confirm a human on the other end.
- Synthetic inputs flood every digital touchpoint
- Deepfakes erode believability and shared truth
- No system can confirm a human at the point of connection
- Social graph data belongs to platforms, not the people whose relationships comprise it
The internet ran out of us.
- Frontier models have exhausted the public web
- Synthetic training data collapses into recursive AI slop
- One data category is missing from all of it: authentic, consented human dialogue
- Gathering it requires rebuilding trust, not scraping harder
A trust ladder, not a land grab.
We develop collective intelligence products from two directions: the group's and the individual's. Different target customers means different consent frameworks for collecting data and producing insights. But the broader goal is the same: improving outcomes from people's interactions with each other.
Enriching businesses' and other groups' understanding of people's interconnections.
Every consented conversation thickens an aggregate trust graph, surfacing the themes, connections and follow-through generated by an event, team or community, de-identified by design, with no personal data shared.
Your own personal trust agent.
Donna eases you and your new connection into a mutually consented, trust-building relationship. Four steps, always your call.
Prove your humanity
At check-in, Donna issues you a verifiable personhood credential, a privacy-preserving, portable proof you're a real person, confirmed by your physical presence. Use it with anyone or with any platform to boost trust in the information and content you provide.
Make real connections
Donna records only your side of a new conversation. When you and another verifiable person both consent, you co-mint a verifiable relationship credential together.
Share information, but only at your own pace
Nothing leaves your device without explicit authorization. Anonymized metadata and mutually recorded conversational data are shared only once mutual consent is given, one step at a time.
Get insight, fast
Donna delivers rich, actionable relationship insight and follow-up recommendations within 24 hours, and your trust graph persists long after the event ends.
Your next meeting shouldn't disappear into a stack of business cards or siloed messaging apps.
Join the waitlist to bring H2H Connect to your next event, or to get Donna in your pocket the moment we open access.
No spam, ever. Donna only records what you consent to share, always your call to withdraw.
