Agora Cosmica

A Living Library You Can Talk To

Agora Cosmica is a Living Library for the wisdom of remarkable people. Thirty figures brought to life in crafted first-person portraits you can listen to, learn from, and speak with.

Who's in the Library

Philosophers, scientists, artists, mystics, and activists, from Plato and Marcus Aurelius to Ada Lovelace, Frida Kahlo, and Harriet Tubman. Each figure speaks from their own perspective, grounded in their real ideas and experiences.

Five Ways to Learn

• Story: Atmospheric first-person portraits. Listen to each figure tell their own story.
• Star Seeds: Short thoughts for daily inspiration.
• FreeTalk: Open conversation. Ask whatever moves you.
• Quest: Guided journeys through a figure's key ideas.
• Prism: Multiple figures discuss a topic together. Wisdom from different angles.

What Makes It Different

• Crafted content: Every story is researched, written, and fact-checked, not generated on the fly.
• Audio-first: Designed to be heard, not just read.
• Nonprofit: No ads, no paywalls. Built for the community.
• Open source: Code is published under AGPL-3.0.

Agora Cosmica launches summer 2026. A project by ChipMates gemeinnützige GmbH.
