A new way to build AI agents

What if AI could
think the way
you think?

Not answer questions.
Not follow instructions.
Think with you.

Prompt engineering → context engineering →
rhythm engineering.

The Problem

You've tried everything.
Something's still missing.

AI is powerful. It knows more than you. It's faster than you.

Yet it doesn't think like you.

It doesn't see problems the way you've learned to see them. It doesn't move through complexity the way years of practice taught you.

It doesn't have your methodology.

Prompts
Better instructions. Still your methodology missing.
Context Engineering
Richer inputs. Richer output. Still not your way of thinking.
Task Agents
Great for execution. Not for complex reasoning.
Thinking with you
This is what's been missing. Until now.
"I need a pilot program for a B-212 helicopter."

Remember Trinity in The Matrix? She needs to fly a helicopter. She's never flown one.

In seconds, the knowledge uploads — and she doesn't just know the controls, she knows how to fly.

Not step-by-step instructions. Not a manual. Something deeper.

The Helix Pattern works the same way. We don't give AI instructions to follow.

We encode how you think — your lenses, your methodology, your way of moving through problems — and AI reasons through it alongside you.

The result isn't automation. It's augmentation.

Step-by-Step
Follow procedure A
Then B. Then C.
Rigid autopilot
Generic output
Human delegates
Cognitive Upload
Receive the complete framework
Reason through it
Adaptive, context-aware
Novel synthesis
Human steers

A new rung on
the ladder.

Prompt and context engineering got us far. But they're still about what you give AI.

Rhythm engineering is about how you think together.

Prompt Engineering "What do I ask?"
Context Engineering "What do I give it?"
Rhythm Engineering "How do we think together?"

Rhythm engineering switches cognitive modes — the same company, same context, same model — but tuned to a different frequency of intelligence. The result isn't better output. It's a different kind of thinking.

In Practice

Same company. Same model.
Different intelligence.

Unilever. 10-year vision. Prompt engineering vs Rhythm engineering.

Prompt Engineering Standard
"Unilever's 10-year AI-native vision involves integrating artificial intelligence across the value chain — from R&D to consumer engagement. By 2035, Unilever is expected to operate highly automated supply chains and predictive demand systems…"
Reads like a consultant memo
One narrative, linear, static
Good summary of expected shifts
Rhythm Engineering — 20Hz Helix Pattern
"Four synchronized waves of transformation… Wave 1: Consumer Consciousness Acceleration (2025–27). Wave 2: Sustainability Pressure Intensification (2027–30). Wave 3: AI Transformation Synchronization (2030–33). Wave 4: Market Consolidation Spiral (2033–35)…"
Dynamic system waves, not a memo
Temporal sequencing with decision points
Living system dynamics, not static narrative
Same company, same context — but the 20Hz dial unlocks a very different type of strategic intelligence.

Two kinds of agents.
Very different purpose.

The world is building task agents — agents that execute, follow workflows, automate.

Useful. But limited when expert judgment matters.

We're building something different.

The Helix Pattern is for when you need augmentation, not automation.

Who This Is For

You have expertise.
Not just knowledge.

Anyone can look things up. Anyone can generate text.

You have something different. A way of working.

A methodology developed over years. Ways of seeing that others miss. A progression through complexity that gets results.

  • Strategists who see patterns others don't
  • Designers who know how to frame problems
  • Engineers with methods that work
  • Consultants with frameworks that deliver
  • Leaders who've learned to think through hard decisions
Your methodology is valuable.
The Helix Pattern makes it scalable.

What We Build Together

From expertise to
thinking agent.

We work with select practitioners to encode their methodology into a co-intelligent partner.

01
Surface your methodology
The tacit stuff you've never fully articulated. How you actually think — not the official version.
02
Define your lenses
The different ways you see problems. Expert judgment is rarely one-dimensional.
03
Map your progression
How you move through complexity. The sequence that gets results.
04
Encode as scaffolding
Structure AI can reason through — not instructions to follow. The cognitive upload.
05
Activate your thinking agent
AI that thinks with you. Applies your methodology to novel problems. Augments your judgment — doesn't replace it.

From the Founder

I built this because I needed it.

As a strategy consultant, I had frameworks — ways of seeing, progressions through complexity — that I couldn't just "prompt" into AI.

So I encoded them differently. Not as instructions. As scaffolding.

What emerged surprised me. AI wasn't following my methodology. It was reasoning through it.

Applying it to new problems. Thinking with me. Reaching insights neither of us would reach alone.

I called the implementation Helix Engine. The underlying pattern — The Helix Pattern — is how anyone can do this.

Your expertise. Your methodology. Your thinking agent.

Early Access

We're opening this
to a small group first.

If you have methodology worth encoding — expertise that shapes how you work, not just what you know — we want to hear from you.

We'll be in touch if there's a fit.
