How Cobana works

Four moves turn a dispersed ecosystem into a living picture you can act on.

Map · Translate · Amplify · Connect. Each move dissolves a break point the bioregion lives with today; together they make it something you can finally see, and steer.

The DSA spine, expanded.

  1. 01MapYour work appears on a living picture of the bioregion, beside the aligned others you couldn't see. Invisible → visible.
  2. 02TranslateWhat's made here in Romanian, in one sector, becomes legible across languages and clusters. Fragmented → coherent.
  3. 03AmplifyThe good work becomes findable by the researchers, funders and collaborators who'd value it. Unseen → accessible.
  4. 04ConnectAligned people are linked into clusters of common ground, and clusters into collaborative work. Isolated → compounding.

Two intelligences, kept apart

Everyone talks to their own AI. The community sees only the shared picture.

Your personal AI

One per member, seeded with the bioregion's shared mission and context from day one — so it's meaningful from the very first conversation, in your own language. It sees only your own conversation.

The community-intelligence layer

A separate intelligence reads across all anonymised conversations to surface the recurring needs, the clusters of common ground, and the real positions. It accrues as members engage — and it cannot access any individual conversation. It can see the pattern across the community; it can never see the person.

Aggregate only — enforced by the system, not promised by a policy. How privacy works →

An engagement — before, during, after.

Before

Cobana is configured to the bioregion's clusters and its shared mission; members are invited into private, guided conversations in their own language.

During

Natural clusters of common ground form; an engagement — an event, a project, a bid — is where the community meets what it surfaced.

After

The living picture: continual, legible insight as the community develops, compounding each round.

Cobana is being stood up for the bioregion now — this is the interest stage. The map shown here is a schematic of how the bioregion connects, never live data and never a product screen.
