How it works
From your question to an answer you can check.
Start with your situation. Explore a different perspective, follow the evidence, and decide what to do with it.
- 01Start here
Bring what you are working on
Describe the idea, decision or question on your mind. You can share a little context during onboarding or start with your own question right away. You do not need to know their biography to have something worth asking.
- 02The library
Choose a perspective
Choose someone whose thinking you want to explore, or bring several perspectives into a group. Profiles already in the library are ready to use. If the person is missing, request a compile; your plan sets the allowance and how much material it collects.
- 03Behind each profile
Ground it in their public record
Timbre gathers public talks, podcasts, interviews and Q&A. Material where the person is not speaking is set aside, and passages are tied to their original timestamps. Recurring reasoning patterns need support across sources. Coverage varies, and a profile reflects its last compile rather than every appearance they have ever made.
- 04Your conversation
Talk it through, then check the reasoning
A clearly labelled AI simulation responds to your question. From the record cites their documented views; Applied to you reasons from that evidence to your situation and labels the application as hypothetical. Ask a follow-up or challenge a point. The simulation cannot speak for the real person, and says when the recordings do not cover something.
- 05Optional memory
Keep useful context, on your terms
Timbre can remember what you tell it about your work, goals and preferences, so the next conversation starts with context. See and edit that memory in Settings, undo an automatic update, or turn learning and personalization off. You can also leave memory out of one chat or disable its use through connected AI clients.
The rule that matters
A confident answer with no source is a failure, not a feature.
The tempting version of this product answers everything. Ask it what a founder thinks about a market they have never mentioned, and it produces something plausible in their voice. That version is worthless, because you cannot tell the invented answers from the real ones, so you cannot trust either.
Timbre reports the coverage it found for your question and is instructed to answer from those passages. A thin or missing record limits what it can tell you. Citations let you check the answer against the original conversation.
The honest failure mode is “they never said.” You will see it often, and it is what makes the rest believable.
What would you ask about your idea?
Bring the decision you keep coming back to. Choose a perspective, explain the tradeoff, and see where the conversation takes you.
