rikai
A consumer intent layer for AI · In development

You know what you mean.
AI should, too.

You shouldn’t need to engineer a prompt to get a useful answer. rikai is building the intelligence layer that turns what you say into what you actually want accomplished.

01 / The experience

Less back-and-forth.
More “that’s it.”

A simple request can hide the details that matter. rikai’s planned experience identifies consequential ambiguity and asks only the questions worth your time.

Two details that change the answer
What’s your budget?
What will you mostly use it for?
A clearer task, behind the scenes

Choose a budget and primary use to see how two details change the task.

Your goal stays yours. The task becomes clearer.
02 / Our approach

Understand first.
Then execute.

We’re designing a system that closes the gap between human intent and AI execution.

01

Find the objective

Interpret the outcome you want and identify the constraints that could change it.

02

Clarify selectively

Use relevant known context when available. Ask zero to two high-value questions when the expected improvement justifies another interaction.

03

Make the task precise

Turn the enriched intent into a structured task specification for the model, tools, and context it needs.

04

Check the outcome

Evaluate the answer against the original objective and repair it before delivery where possible.

The measure that matters

First-Shot
Success.

Did you get what you actually wanted?

Our north-star metric is the share of requests resolved without a correction, substantial rewrite, repeated regeneration, or long clarification loop.

We plan to compare ordinary AI interactions with intent-enriched ones, measuring successful outcomes alongside turns, time, and tokens per resolved task.

A validation goal. No performance results claimed.
03 / The vision

Users shouldn’t have to learn
how to talk to AI.
AI should learn how to
understand users.

Our long-term goal is a model-neutral personal intent layer: understanding what you mean, knowing which context matters, and choosing how your goal should be executed across models and tools.

What we’re building next

Starting with intent.
Learning from outcomes.

rikai is at the concept stage. The immediate goal is to validate selective clarification and intent resolution on everyday consumer requests.

We plan to use Claude for intent interpretation, structured task extraction, clarification decisions, enriched task execution, and outcome evaluation. Over time, acceptance and correction signals could teach rikai which questions, context, and execution strategies actually help.
