The Memory Problem
We forget the core human experience.
Think about the last time you felt that irrational spark—deciding to learn guitar at 2am, falling in love with someone completely wrong for you, or dreaming of becoming a footballer despite never making the school team. These moments of pure human irrationality, hope, and emotion are what make us who we are. Yet we forget them.
Our biological memory fails us. We forget 90% of our experiences within days. The conversations that changed our perspective, the quiet moments of clarity, the absurd ideas that felt profound—they all fade into nothing.
What We Lose
The experiences that define us require biological consciousness to understand. In the age of AI, the question of what it means to be human becomes existentially important. An AI might process the data of your conversation about childhood dreams, but it can't feel the weight of nostalgia or the bittersweet ache of time passing. It can't understand why you cried during a random Tuesday afternoon or why a particular song makes you feel invincible.
Our current tools can't capture this either. We take 1.94 trillion photos per year and store 1 trillion gigabytes of notes, yet 98% is forgotten and fades into non-existence. We try to extend our memory with existing tools, but it fails. Photos sit lifeless in galleries. Notes scatter across disconnected apps. Messages fragment our thoughts across platforms. Nothing speaks to each other. Nothing proactively preserves the richness of being human. We're left with static artifacts that can't capture the living, breathing texture of our experiences.
Preserving Human Experience
Capsles doesn't try to replicate human consciousness—that's practicallyimpossible and unnecessary. Instead, we preserve the uniquely human moments that only biological experience can create: the irrationality, the emotional contradictions, the beautiful absurdity of being human.
We capture not just what happened, but how it felt to be you in that moment. The context, the emotion, the meaning that only human experience can generate. When you relive these memories, you're not just accessing data—you're reconnecting with the full spectrum of what made you human in that instant.
Because the experiences that make us human are too precious to forget.
