From the members

Twelve members, in their own words.

“What I noticed this last week is how much lighter I’ve been feeling at the end of the day. I’d lie down with my kids and spend twenty or thirty minutes going, did I send that email? Did I follow up with that person? Right now it’s giving me back 30 to 45 minutes a day. I’m not being forced to remember, which eats up so much of my personal RAM, and now I’m free to think.”
Chris H.Coach and Founder
“In a few months I’ve rebuilt my websites, built a custom gamified course platform, and started a design agency with real clients, all with ACE.”
Joel R.Founder, Here For The Truth
“It’s like claiming a power that I didn’t even know was possible. For a non-tech kind of person, I used to be terrified about technology. I’m just falling in love with it.”
Eliana K.Author and Speaker
“ACE has overdelivered on every expectation I could have had. In one month, it has allowed me to create more meaningful, valuable content across five major projects than I could have ever imagined.”
Marc C. Marc C.Founder, The Fiber Resource Group

Chris H. Chris H.Coach and Founder
“I’m reaching the tipping point where I’m really starting to integrate ACE into everything I’m doing, and it’s profoundly life-changing. What’s being created, the speed it’s being created, how it’s helping me be reflective of my own ideas. It’s truly incredible.”
Austin W. Austin W.Founder, Entheos Holistics
“My normal habits and ways I distract myself are almost non-existent, because I have this pathway now. It’s only been a week.”
Joe H. Joe H.Founder, Haven Community Village
“Creating and delivering offers without external support was a pipe dream. Now it’s just how I work, and I’ve already sold a package that includes an ACE deployment.”
Aleksander B. Aleksander B.Guide for Purpose-Driven Entrepreneurs · ACE affiliate
“I’ve built so much with ACE. Rather than a spreadsheet, it’s a build. I’ve got three platforms built, a small team who love what I’ve made, and a challenge launching that I’m not even running myself.”
Craig Y. Craig Y.Composer and Tennis Club Owner
“Some big old patterns have come up this week, and ACE has helped me recognize them too. It’s getting to know how I think.”

Robert M. Robert M.Poet and Artist, Lovepoetmedicine
“It’s hard for me to imagine how I got anything done before ACE. It has been so supportive of me holding the many different projects I’ve been working on.”
Angel R. Angel R.Founder, SolarPunk Summit
“I didn’t realize how much I was holding inside until I started interacting with it. When it clicked, my mind was blown.”

The Coherence Triad

Every tool you’ve tried optimized one thing and ignored the rest.
ACE holds all three.

Authority

Do you know what’s actually yours to build?

ACE surfaces the patterns: what repeats across your decisions, your projects, your blind spots. You build from actual signal, not reactive pressure.

What’s yours. What to release.

Capacity

Can you hold what you’re calling in?

Context lives in the system, not in your nervous system. When the load is held, room opens. You hold more because you’re not carrying it alone.

Room to receive what’s arriving.

Expansion

Are your ideas actually shipping?

Ideas that used to stall now ship. At a speed you haven’t had access to before. The system holds your center so you don’t have to.

What you make. Who you become making it.

The Architecture

Built to be yours.

Not a tool layer on top of your work. Creation infrastructure. Built to hold the structure so your creative energy goes into the work, not the overhead.

Sovereign Plain text files on your machine. ACE thinks with Claude, under your own account.
Modular Build your version of ACE. Every skill is a block you own.
Interoperable Works with the tools you already use: email, calendar, messages and files.
Extensible Lifetime core updates. Every skill shipped after you join lands in your system.

The Science

Built on research.
Not productivity folklore.

What peer-reviewed research says about interruptions, open loops and memory, and where ACE fits.

01 / 06

Interruptions cost more than time.

ACE holds the thread, so picking it back up takes less out of you.

“People compensate for interruptions by working faster, but this comes at a price: experiencing more stress, higher frustration, time pressure and effort.”
Mark, Gudith & Klocke · CHI · 2008 · UC Irvine

02 / 06

Everyday load adds up.

ACE carries more of what you would otherwise hold in your head all day.

“Over time, this results in wear and tear on the body which is called ‘allostatic load.’”
Dr. Bruce McEwen · Dialogues Clin Neurosci · 2006 · Rockefeller

03 / 06

Memory, reflection and planning work best together.

ACE uses the same three parts, working together across your days.

“[Generative agents] remember and reflect on days past as they plan the next day.”
Park et al. · UIST · 2023 · Stanford + Google

04 / 06

A note on where you stopped frees your attention.

When you step away, ACE writes down where you stopped and what comes next.

“A ready-to-resume intervention, in which one briefly reflects on and plans one’s return to the interrupted task, mitigates this effect such that attention residue is reduced.”
Leroy & Glomb · Organization Science · 2018 · Minnesota + UW Bothell

05 / 06

A plan quiets an open loop.

ACE gives each open loop a written plan, so your attention is free for what is in front of you.

“Committing to a specific plan for a goal may therefore not only facilitate attainment of the goal but may also free cognitive resources for other pursuits.”
Masicampo & Baumeister · JPSP · 2011 · Florida State

06 / 06

Your mind works better when it holds less.

ACE gives what you are carrying a place outside your head.

“Cognitive offloading: the use of physical action to alter the information processing requirements of a task so as to reduce cognitive demand.”
Risko & Gilbert · Trends in Cognitive Sciences · 2016 · Waterloo + UCL
  1. 01Interruptions cost more than time.
  2. 02Everyday load adds up.
  3. 03Memory, reflection and planning work best together.
  4. 04A note on where you stopped frees your attention.
  5. 05A plan quiets an open loop.
  6. 06Your mind works better when it holds less.

Interruptions, open loops and everyday load all cost something. ACE is built to carry them for you.

The Architect

Nikhil Kale

Creator of ACE

I built ACE because I needed it. Multiple ventures. Coaching clients. Building technology. Slowly fragmenting under the weight of my own ambition.

Every system I tried asked me to become less of myself. Simpler goals. Fewer projects. Pick a lane. I refused. The gap between who I was and who I was becoming was widening, and no existing tool could close it. So I built the one that could. An engine that holds all of it, and keeps me coherent while I do.

Questions

Before you decide.

ACE is a personal operating system powered by AI. It lives on your machine, learns your voice, tracks your commitments, coaches you through resistance, and ships what you describe. All from one desktop app. One system that holds your business and your creative life in coherence. A cognitive exoskeleton for everything you’re building.
Founders, coaches, and builders running multiple projects who refuse to choose between depth and speed. If you’ve outgrown productivity apps but aren’t ready to hire a team of five, ACE is the infrastructure layer between you and everything you’re building.
Round 4 is $3,997, one-time. Rounds 1 to 3 are closed. Round 4 is open until Nov 30. It includes your full custom build, two 1:1 sessions with Nikhil, and lifetime core updates. No subscription to ACE. The thinking runs on your own Claude plan, Pro (about $20 a month) or Max (from $100), billed by Anthropic, not ACE. Payment plans are available; mention it on your call and we’ll find a structure that works.
Your files live on your machine as plain text, and back up to a private Git repository. ACE thinks with Claude under your own account, so what it reads is handled the same way as anything you type into Claude yourself. Anything sent on your behalf, an email or a message, waits for your approval first. If you ever leave ACE, everything stays with you. Privacy policy
No. You need to be willing to go deep, not write code. The system meets you where you are. Some members are developers. Others are coaches, creatives, and executives who had never opened a terminal before ACE.
The architecture, vault, skills, and memory layer are what members run daily. The desktop app (v0.4.8) runs on Mac, Windows and Linux, and it improves alongside the people using it. If you prefer, you can run the same system through VS Code or the command line. Telegram works as a companion when you are away from your desk.
You’ll get a 30-minute call with me. That call is a real conversation. Not a pitch. We’ll look at what you’re building, where you’re stuck, and figure out together whether ACE is the right fit. If it is, your system starts building within days.

The gap between who you are
and who you’re becoming
is what brought you here.

ACE is how it closes. Rounds 1 to 3 are closed. Round 4 is open until Nov 30, at $3,997. Payment plans available.
