Personal knowledge.
For life.
AI is transforming how quickly we can access knowledge. But our ability to make sense of it, keep track of it, and put it to use isn't keeping pace.
Tenerra is building personal knowledge infrastructure that keeps what you know connected, useful, and yours — across AI, across platforms, and across the chapters of your life.
Three questions matter.
Who owns the knowledge?
The knowledge that builds up about a person should stay with the people it serves. Not with any technology company that holds it, including ours.
Can you take it with you?
People, providers, programs, and platforms change. Important knowledge shouldn't disappear when they do.
Will it be there when you need it?
A life is dynamic. Knowledge needs to stay useful and relevant as circumstances change — and available in the moment it matters.
That's personal knowledge continuity.
Knowledge becomes useful when it becomes personal.
AI gives us access to the knowledge of the world at our fingertips. But access to knowledge isn't the same as having knowledge that is useful to us. It becomes useful when we can apply it to our own lives, in our own circumstances, at the moment we need it.
Personal knowledge isn't something we capture once and file away. It changes with time, with the circumstances of our lives, and with the moment in which we need to use it.
As life unfolds, knowledge captured perfectly yesterday may no longer be useful today.
That's why continuity of knowing requires more than a history of AI conversations. Personal knowledge must be maintained as life happens — continuously, in context, and for as long as it matters.
That takes a persistent context layer of our own — one that captures what we know over time, keeps it organized and current, and brings the right context together when we need it.
The AI we use every day is built to help in the moment, and it's very good at that. Some of it even remembers pieces of our history. But holding the organized, usable context of a life, updating it as life changes, and bringing it back in the moment it matters is a different job. That job needs a place of its own.
Tenerra is building that place: systems that hold personal knowledge in context, for life.
What we're building
For Parents
Anya is a private, AI-native knowledge continuity system for parents of children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). It gives parents a place to preserve what they know about their child — in their own words, under their control. Parents tell Anya what works and ask Anya when they need to remember. Anya works with the parent alone and, at the parent's request, can be passed to a successor.

The AI front desk for IDD Adult Day Providers.
Tavvy is an AI-native system for providers of adult day services for clients with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It’s there as staff walk through the door each day — they ask Tavvy what they need to know about the people they support, and the knowledge the program has built is there to answer, across staff, shifts, and daily life.
Currently in development.
For Everyone
Kep is a personal knowledge continuity system. It works with the AI you already use to remember and sort what's important in the context of your life, across all ages and stages, and surfaces it in the moment you need it. Ask Kep what you decided, and it answers from your own history. What it holds is always yours.
Currently in development.Knowledge should follow the person.
Life is transition.
The people, the places, what we live through and what we learn from it keep changing.
What we've learned should not be locked in silos, and we should not have to start from scratch every time life changes. Tenerra is focused on making that possible.
