the method
Eight weeks. One translation. A cognitive constitution that works everywhere you already do.
the shift
A different question.
Most AI personalization asks you to describe what you want. Yu asks a different question: how do you actually think? Executive function, memory patterns, values, communication style — the stuff that's driving your preferences in the first place, not just the preferences themselves.
the method
Assess → Educate → Reflect → Translate
Assess.
Short, structured probes — not a 60-question personality quiz. A few minutes a day, real conversation, real signal.
Educate.
You get the framework behind what's being observed, in plain language. No jargon, no mysticism.
Reflect.
At the end of each week, Yu shows you what it noticed and asks you to approve, refine, or reject it. You stay the author of your own profile — nothing gets assumed on your behalf.
Translate.
Approved insights become part of your Cognitive Constitution — the standing set of directives that shapes how AI responds to you, everywhere you use it.
the rhythm
What the eight weeks actually look like
One short conversational check-in a day, about three minutes, never more than five. No homework, no dashboard to maintain. By the end of week eight, you have a working Cognitive Constitution — not a personality label, a functional map of how you process, decide, and communicate.
the artifact
The Cognitive Constitution
Think of it as your standing brief to AI — the handful of things that, once known, change how every response should be shaped for you. It's built progressively, reviewed by you at every step, and it's yours.
why eight
Why eight weeks, not an instant quiz
Real cognitive patterns show up in behavior over time, not in how you answer a single question about yourself. Eight weeks is long enough to see the pattern, short enough to stay a commitment rather than a chore.
