About Ora

An event is the fundamental unit of memory in Ora, grounded in time and place.

A dinner with friends might begin as a simple plan. Over time, the event can bring together a restaurant, photos, videos, notes, and conversations, creating a shared record of the experience.

Events remain connected to the timeline and can be organized into collections, allowing experiences to be revisited, shared, and built upon over time.

The Timeline is Ora’s primary interface: day, week, and month views of the same personal record, connecting what has happened with what comes next.

Events appear on the timeline and open into a workspace for notes, conversations, media, places, websites, and files.

Ora organizes memory around events and their relationships across time.

Photos, videos, places, notes, links, and conversations stay attached to the moments they belong to, so context can be revisited with when and where something happened.

Add events to a collection to keep related moments together. Store a set for yourself, or publish it so others can see the same events and context.

Browse curated collections across sports, news, music, books, podcasts, and other domains to find events that already fit together.

Chat is how you schedule and get event suggestions in Ora. Describe a plan in natural language, and Ora can propose events grounded in your timeline with times, places, and related context anchored in the event.

Suggestions stay under your control: review proposed events before they are committed, then place them on your schedule when they look right.

Connect platforms you already use so activity can be synced and saved as events on your timeline from calendar events, emails, photos, payments, and productivity tools.

Connections are optional and remain under your permissions. Bring context in once, instead of rebuilding the same information in a separate system.

Runtime Labs develops systems for organizing information and model interactions around time and events.

The underlying research thesis is that temporal and event structure can provide useful foundations for persistent memory, contextual retrieval, and planning.

This creates several areas of research interest:

The purpose of planning with a language model is not to automate or delegate our decision-making. It is so we can externalize and make our decisions more transparent, so that we can better review and reflect on the causal relations between our actions and their consequences in time. This is core to one of humanity's most cherished technological inventions: writing. We externalize memory to enhance learning and share our learning in social groups.

Ora is designed for people in collaboration with models.

We believe useful intelligence should strengthen human agency by expanding people's ability to plan, discover, remember, and participate in the world.

Ora is developed by Runtime Labs, Inc., an independent research and product company.

The company's thesis is that time and event structure are foundational primitives for building reliable memory and planning systems, grounding language models in time, location, and personal context.

Runtime Labs brings together research in machine learning, memory, temporal reasoning, data systems, and human-computer interaction to develop new interfaces for people and intelligent models.
