About

Rodin

Features
Read full description

Rodin reads your writing and surfaces how you think. Paste your notes, an essay, or a journal entry. Claude analyzes the text and extracts an intellectual fingerprint — recurring themes, the questions you keep returning to, the mental models you use, your influences, the blind spots in your thinking, and the single core question driving your work. The fingerprint becomes a public profile. People who think similarly find each other — not by credentials, not by follower count, but by how they actually structure thought. What's inside: — Paste 500+ words (about 2,500 characters) of your own writing. Notes, essays, transcripts, blog posts, journal entries. — A streaming AI analysis fills in the fingerprint live, layer by layer. — A 12-dimensional cognitive signature renders your thinking as a polar glyph — a portrait of how you reason. — An 8-dimensional stylometric signature traces the shape of your prose: rhythm, register, syntax, density. — A constellation map places you among 200+ minds, clustered by cognitive resonance — explore the topology, search for a name, pin a trail of thinkers you want to come back to. — Reading lists: cite the minds that shape you, see who cites you back. Mutual citations are surfaced. — Discover others whose signatures resonate with yours; compare two profiles side by side. — A "I think similarly" gesture lets you signal recognition; the other person is notified. — Track how your thinking evolves over time — Rodin detects paradigm shifts in your fingerprint across versions. — Your source writing is never stored. Only the derived fingerprint is retained. Built for people who care more about how someone thinks than what they've published.
