What Nicholic builds
Nerdy Companion
Early designA study companion, in early design. What it does is still being decided.
Four things Nicholic will never do
All of them are published in full, each dated and versioned. These four are the ones a stranger can check most easily.
Nicholic will never sell, rent, or broker personal data.
Nicholic will never use private user content to train a model without specific, opt-in permission.
Nicholic will never make leaving harder than joining.
Nicholic will never change published rules without notice before they take effect.
What stays private, and why
Nicholic publishes what it owes people: commitments, funding, and failures. It does not publish architecture, infrastructure, or the thresholds behind abuse detection.
That second half is the part worth defending. Publishing the number at which an account gets flagged does not protect anyone — every spam operation reads it once and stays just underneath. The protection is gone and only the abusive party changed behaviour.
Where that line sits is written down, along with the specific signs that would show it being used to hide something.

Announcing Aver, the first AI safety research project at Nicholic
The first note on the research page, and the first piece of AI safety research published here — including the fact that none of it has been run yet.
Using social media safely, and not making it worse for anyone else
What to do while something is happening, where to report each kind of harm, and the half of safety that belongs to everyone who is posting.
