Maybe you've been trying hard for years to make sense of something big in your life and nothing has worked. You might be feeling drained, hopeless, demoralized, and feel like maybe it's not possible to reach clarity.

More often than not, when you can't make sense of something, it's because there are pieces of the puzzle that you’re missing. These missing pieces will never be found by thinking about things in the same way you've been thinking about them, or looking harder for answers in the same places you've been looking. Instead, you need a way to look in new places and think about things in different ways.

The problem is that most products, approaches, systems, or methods out there don’t help you do this. Instead, they try to convince you that they have the missing pieces you need, and then sell them to you, even when they’re the wrong fit. We are bombarded with a menu of pre-defined solutions we can choose from, and many people get lost or stuck in painstaking analysis to try to find the right choice.

Inqwire is the only tool that’s designed to accelerate your own ability to find the pieces you’ve been missing so you can make sense of things and reach clarity about life, without prescribing anything, giving you advice, or telling you what to do.

It does this by giving you skills and tools for breaking out of the thinking patterns you've been stuck in, finding new ways to approach the problem, and systematically searching for answers where you haven't looked before.

As you find the missing pieces, you will come to reach a deeper level of understanding about things in your life. As a result of this understanding, what to do will become clear. You might reveal that you need to take a certain action, make a specific change, wait for a change to happen, or even take no action at all.

Instead of getting overwhelmed with analysis, list-making, or hard thinking to pick a pre-defined solution that may not work for you, Inqwire enables you to find your own path and reveal clear solutions that make sense for you and your life.

First and foremost, the entire time you are using Inqwire, you are automatically practicing and strengthening skills related to wise reasoning, such as: seeing things from different perspectives, seeing the forest for the trees, getting the full 360 around life scenarios, making sense out of nuanced and complex situations, having a more nuanced understanding of life and the world, and asking yourself and others better questions.

If you are working on topics that are ripe for insights, you should expect to reach insights that increase your clarity around things you're trying to make sense of in life. The amount of progress you make will depend on what you're trying to make sense of and the quality of time you spend with Inqwire.

Researchers who study meaning-making find that the ability to make sense of life and the resulting feeling that one's life has meaning correlates with just about every measure of well-being and anti-correlates with a variety of illnesses, diseases, and disorders.

The more you develop this sense that your life has meaning through gaining clarity about your life, and the more you practice wise reasoning, the more likely you are to experience positive effects.

These effects could include:
• Less time spent in your head, more time living life
• Improved decision-making
• Enhanced sense of intuition around future outcomes
• Improved resilience in the face of challenging life circumstances
• Increased self-awareness and deeper understanding of life
• Greater self-reliance and self-empowerment
• Improved outlook on life, including feeling more hopeful, connected, valuable, empowered, safe, and purposeful

Inqwire is complementary to and can enhance many other practices.

This is because Inqwire gives you a way to take the content of what you're exploring with your other practices, explore it deeper, and integrate it into the context of your life.

And, because Inqwire is designed to accelerate your ability to reach insights and gain clarity around what you're exploring, you are likely to make faster progress in your existing practices.

For example, after journaling, you can use Inqwire to explore the important topics that came up in your writing to reveal connections and insights.

Or, as you're meditating, you can write down things that come to mind, then later use Inqwire to address them with your full attention in a meaningful, productive way.

If you are working with a therapist, mentor, or coach, you can use Inqwire as a homework tool to take the topics you talked about in person and dive in deeper on your own time and in complete privacy.

Inqwire can be used on your computer or from your phone. This means that you can use it anywhere you have phone reception, enabling you to make sense of things while in environments that are more conducive to reflecting on life, such as while out in nature, while walking around, or while sitting or reclining somewhere comfortable away from your desk.

Additionally, most of your experiences with Inqwire won’t require you to look at the screen very much at all. Once you get familiar with Inqwire, you might only spend a few minutes setting up a session for yourself to get hours of custom activities and content.

You can even choose to have Inqwire read to you. You can put headphones in and free your gaze and your mind from the screen as you listen to your own personal guided session.

Unlike many systems, processes, or frameworks, the technology in Inqwire did not come out of someone’s imagination, personal life experience, or theory for what should help people think better and make sense.

Instead, the technology was developed over 9 years, starting with a systematic review of what techniques have worked to help people make sense, pulling from diverse domains such as memoir writing, wisdom traditions, collective intelligence, and a multitude of therapeutic methods.

This was followed with a painstaking search for the most complete scientific explanations from psychology, to sociology, cognitive science, and neuroscience for what makes these techniques work.

This cross field scientific survey resulted in the distillation of a set of fundamental scientific mechanisms and guiding principles that served as a blueprint for the creation of a universal model and technology for making sense. To get a sense of the largest contributions to this blueprint by field, see the key research.

The founders combine backgrounds in cognitive science and building enterprise-grade optimization software for solving the world’s hardest problems to turn this blueprint into a complete, one of a kind technology for sensemaking.

Inqwire is an intelligence amplification technology (IA), which is in many ways the complete opposite of modern Artificial Intelligence (AI).

AI attempts to solve problems and perform tasks that would normally be done by a human. IA is designed to augment and enhance humans in doing what we do best - make sense.

When it comes to sensemaking, your brain is not only vastly superior and more powerful than any AI system, your brain in particular is the only thing that is capable of making sense of and navigating your unique life.

This is because sensemaking requires higher levels of cognition that only the human brain can perform. No AI system is capable of thinking or operating at these higher levels. Even if an AI system of the future was capable of these higher levels of cognition, only your brain has access to all the information that’s needed about your life to make sense of it and navigate it successfully.

Because of this, it would be nonsensical and even dangerous to allow any AI system to solve your personal problems, make major life decisions for you, or tell you what direction to go in life.

Instead, what does make sense is to use tools that augment and enhance your brain’s natural abilities to make sense.

IA may be an unfamiliar concept, but you have likely been using tools IA for years without realizing it. IA is what computing systems and software has been predominantly designed for since the beginning of computing.

We created computers to overcome our own cognitive limitations, enabling us to amplify our intelligence for the purpose of solving some of the world’s hardest problems such as weather prediction, scheduling and planning, space travel, and now - sensemaking.

Nothing you enter or write about in Inqwire is stored on Inqwire servers. Instead, everything is saved directly to your computer or phone.

If you’d like to keep your data synced across multiple devices, you have the option of using a Dropbox plug-in to make this possible.

You might be wondering, “but don’t you need my data?”. Because Inqwire is Intelligence Amplification (IA) technology, not Artificial Intelligence (AI), it does not need to use big data or statistical machine learning. This means Inqwire doesn't want or need any of your personal data in order to improve. It's improved as scientific understanding progresses.
