Diluta, the app, has a new home. A to-do list that survives a real week now lives at diluta.com

We are building AI 2.0.

Not an omnipresence in your day. The digital fabric that serves you when you need it most — and steps aside when you don't.

The threads behind this page brighten when you move. Stop, and they fade. That is the whole idea.

Looking for Diluta, the productivity app?

It has moved to diluta.com.

Same app, same team, new address. A to-do list that survives a real week now lives at its own home, on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android and the web. This site is the lab where it came from.

Today

Agentic AI combs through your devices every day, hoping to find something to do.

It reads, summarizes, suggests, drafts, nudges. It is busy making itself useful. You are the one being interrupted. For twenty years the industry sold attention to advertisers. Now the software wants it for itself.

Call that AI 1.0: intelligence as a houseguest. Always on, always in the room, and forever hoping you will notice it.

One morning, unrequested

  • 7:02Summarized 14 emails you hadn't opened yet.
  • 7:04Suggested a meeting with someone you emailed once.
  • 7:09Drafted a reply to your mother. In your voice.
  • 7:15Found "3 insights" in a photo of your dog.
  • 7:31Reminded you it can do all of this every morning.

Twenty-nine minutes. Nothing you asked for.

The thesis

Artificial intelligence becomes ambient intelligence.

We view AI not as an omnipresence in your daily life, but as the digital fabric that serves you when you need it most.

— Eric Saint-Marc, founder

AI 1.0 · Artificial

  • A presence. Everywhere, all the time.
  • Wants your attention, then measures it.
  • Adapts you to the software.
  • Useful on its schedule.

AI 2.0 · Ambient

  • A fabric. Woven through your day, mostly invisible.
  • Protects your attention. Never asks for it.
  • Adapts to people — not the other way around.
  • Useful on yours. Then it steps aside.

How we build

Four rules for a fabric, not a presence.

  1. 01

    Knows when it matters.

    Timing, energy, context, and what you've already decided. The fabric reads the moment before it offers anything.

  2. 02

    Steps aside when it doesn't.

    Silence is a feature. When nothing needs you, the software should have nothing to say.

  3. 03

    Adapts to people.

    Not the other way around. No setup ritual, no configuration tax, no shaping your life to fit a screen.

  4. 04

    Quiet by default. Ready by design.

    Capable the moment you turn to it. Invisible the moment you turn back to your life.

A day in motion

Humans move. The fabric stays where it belongs.

Three moments from one ordinary day. Watch what the fabric does — and doesn't.

The run.

Nothing needs you. The fabric is dark.

School called.

Pickup moved to noon. Your afternoon is re-planned around it. One tap, and it's gone again.

Phone in your pocket. Nobody's summarizing this.

The point of all this

The best AI in your life is the one you forget is there.

Ambient intelligence is not less intelligence. It's intelligence when it matters.

First proof

Diluta, the app:We do have AI but it's the least exciting thing about it.

A to-do list that survives a real week. It holds your whole week, tells you the handful of things that genuinely need you, and keeps up when the day gets rewritten — instead of shaming you for falling behind. It is the first product built on these rules, and it now lives at its own address.

The lab

Experience first. Technology second.

For twenty years I built systems that were not allowed to fail — hospitality, fintech, cloud infrastructure, enterprise operations. Automation is extraordinary at problems that hold still. A person's Tuesday does not. I founded ThinkAhead in 2020 on one sentence: software should adapt to people, not the other way around. diluta.ai is where we work that sentence out, in public, one product at a time.

What's next

AI 2.0 is quiet. Come build it with us.

If you are building for the same future, writing about it, or funding it, we would like to hear from you.
