Ideas in action
Each project is a concrete answer to an aspect of our vision
Acies Mentis takes shape through autonomous projects, each addressing a specific domain. The first and most ambitious: repairing the socio-digital space.
The first Acies Mentis project tackles the heart of the problem: the socio-digital space.
Acies Mentis Garden
An ethical social digital garden. Garden was born from the observation that today’s digital space — social networks, content platforms, knowledge tools — is fundamentally designed to exploit, not to emancipate. Garden takes the radical opposite stance: a space where your ideas belong to you, where algorithms don’t dictate what you see, and where learning is a collective and sovereign act.
Collaborative documents
Living, interconnected documents. Not static files, but seeds of ideas that grow, connect, and evolve with your thinking.
Agora
A space for collective deliberation: reflection committees, working circles, public assemblies. The democracy of thought in action.
Learning in public
Publish your emerging reflections, your fragile hypotheses. Your ideas meet those of others. Learning becomes a collective act.
Vigil
Verification and information reliability across the entire platform. Vigil analyzes sources, identifies biases and ensures the quality of every published content — news, reflections, analyses. Credibility is built through rigor, not popularity.
Local AI
A local artificial intelligence (Mistral) that accompanies without replacing. Contextual translation, aid in discernment and learning. All on your device, with no dependence on American tech giants.
What makes the difference
Zero algorithmic manipulation
No news feed designed to get you hooked. You choose what you explore, guided by your curiosity, not by an algorithm.
European infrastructure
Hosted in France (Scaleway), GDPR compliant, data sovereignty. Your thoughts don’t cross the Atlantic.
Encrypted data
Your private data is encrypted. Even we can’t read it. It’s your garden, not ours.
Local and sovereign AI
A local AI (Mistral) that runs on your device, with no dependence on American tech giants. It accompanies discernment, verification and learning — it never creates in your place.

Upcoming projects
Each project is a seed. Some are already sprouting.
The Studio — Creation & Publishing
The aesthetic sensibility of the ecosystem. The Studio publishes on Garden, produces Forge materials and makes sharpening the mind desirable. Native digital publishing, Acies Mentis approved label and a bridge to paper via crowdfunding.
The Forge — Educational Program
The intellectual emancipation program of Acies Mentis. A modular outer circle (digital discernment, role-playing, rhetoric, cognitive biases) and an initiatory inner circle. Designed for libraries, schools, associations and individuals.
