A mirror for judgment

Meet the shadow of how you think.

Making Our Shadows is designed to capture the way you truly judge and interpret the world. Through 150 carefully crafted scenario-based questions, delivered in sets of fifteen per day, the system learns the patterns behind your decisions — the logic, the instincts, and the values that shape your choices. From this, it builds a structured map of your reasoning, a model of your judgement that an AI can speak from with authenticity.

Why it exists

A reflection meant to outlast you.

In essence, you create your “shadow” — a living reflection of your thought process. You can converse with it to understand yourself more deeply, or pass it forward so future generations may hear your perspective long after you are gone. Making Our Shadows is built to preserve the essence of your judgement, allowing your thoughts to endure beyond your physical lifetime. It is a way to extend your legacy, transcending the limitations of time and offering your loved ones a voice that continues to guide, comfort, and inspire.

This project is intentionally kept free, private, and accessible to everyone. It exists as a gift — an opportunity for any individual to create a legacy that is not measured in material wealth, but in the wisdom and clarity that outlast time itself. As the saying goes, true wealth is not what we accumulate, but what continues to live on.

How it works

Four steps, fifteen questions a day.

No marathon quiz. The app hands you a small set each day and slowly draws the outline of how you decide.

01

Answer fifteen a day

Short yes/no scenarios about real situations. The set even shifts with the time of day you open the app — and no question ever repeats.

02

Build your profile

Once all 150 are answered, your choices become a ten-dimension map of how you judge — from moral reasoning to risk to loyalty.

03

Carry it in a code

Your whole profile folds into a single QR code. No account, no server — it lives on your device and moves only if you move it.

04

Talk to your shadow

Point a free AI at your profile and it responds the way you would — weighing things by your tendencies, answering in your name.

The map

Ten dimensions of judgment.

Every answer nudges you along ten axes drawn from moral and decision psychology. Together they describe not what you know, but how you weigh.

Your voice

An AI that answers as you.

When the 150 are done, the app writes a persona from your profile and hands it to a free AI of your choice. Ask it how you'd handle something and it leans the way you lean — direct where you're direct, cautious where you're cautious.

It speaks in your name, not as a neutral assistant. Near-even traits stay genuinely undecided, exactly as they are in you.

Yours alone

Private by design. On your device.

Your answers never leave your phone. There's no account to make and no server quietly storing your psyche — the questionnaire, the profile, and the QR code all run locally.

The AI chat is the only online part, and it runs on a free key you control. Black and white, on device, no noise.
