Would you like to gain real-time insights into your state of mind and help us shape the future of mental wellbeing and performance?

We are looking for 100 individuals, passionate about understanding their mind, to become the Founding Alphas of Aurora - the world’s first personal AI assistant for the mind.

What is Aurora?
Powered by our novel neurotechnology that fuses biometrics, BCI, voice analytics and machine learning technologies for understanding mental states,

Aurora is designed to help every individual understand themselves better and manage their state of mind.

For now, Aurora runs as an app on your phone, continuously analyzing your voice patterns, while making use of any supported wearables you may have. It then notifies you of anomalies or sudden changes to different aspects of your mental state, offering explanations and relevant improvement suggestions that are targeted to your current mental state. This is not just passively giving you suggestions but is a powerful form of closed-loop biofeedback, which takes your current and recent mental states into account.

Through real-time insights into stress, emotions, (with attention and tiredness to follow), and how they fluctuate throughout days and weeks, Aurora helps you achieve better self-awareness, as well as knowing what actionable steps to take to improve your behaviours and habits. All the suggestions are personalized and based on rigorous analysis and the latest tools from cognitive science and neuroscience, behavioural economics and evolutionary psychology, as well as neurotechnology and biometrics.

As a Founding Alpha, you will be joining Maaind’s extended family and work closely with us to shape the development of Aurora. We are limiting the program to 100 people so that we can put our energy and attention into giving you the most interesting and engaging experience of being an alpha tester of our product.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR:

  • You are passionate about self-improvement and mental wellbeing and already tracking aspects of your life for self-awareness and improvement
  • You are an Android and Fitbit user (Versa 2, Versa or Ionic). We have support for some other wearables (Emotiv, Muse, Garmin, Oura) but please talk to us before joining as the experience is most optimized for Fitbit right now.

If you are interested and keen to join the program but don’t meet the technical requirements listed, please register your interest here and we will notify when other formats are supported.

WHAT YOU GET:

All Founding Alphas:

  • Free 1-year Aurora subscription (usual cost of $100 annually), starting from the date that becomes available and you start using it.
  • Join our closed Maaind community of mind aficionados.
  • A referral code to share with your network, giving them a discount to Aurora when it’s released, as well as giving you a share of the profits.
  • Get a Thank You mention on our website.

The 20 most active users will receive:

  • Coaching session with a certified life + personal coach.
  • A 30-minute 1-on-1 session with our CEO and PhD in experimental neuroscience, to ask any personal or academic questions about neuroscience, brain-computer interfaces or AI. You can also talk to him about our vision, product and company.

HOW YOU WILL CONTRIBUTE:

  • Use the Aurora app for 1 month with daily interactions.
  • 1 weekly questionnaire about your experience, linked to from the app.
  • A 30-minute call with one of the founders at the end of the month.

If you are passionate about the potential of the human mind and want to help us shape the future of AI for human wellbeing and human flourishing, we look forward to hearing from you! Please share this article with your friends and communities who may be interested to join.
