Our mission:
Who are we if not the sum of our memories? Isn’t what we call experience simply the memory of our past? What is death but the loss of all our memories?
Biological evolution is too slow compared with our environment, and our memory is now limited when faced with the mass of information available. Therefore we need to take matters into our own hands to overcome our limitations.
At Episodic we're building a personal artificial memory system that brings all the memories needed for creative, innovative people to make the right decisions at the right time. Through our brand-new type software using machine and deep learning and a revolutionary organization of data in an intuitive and comprehensive interface.
Let’s build the superconscious minds of tomorrow.
