AI ...With Life
We’re creating the world’s first regenerative AI built on the patterns of living systems.
A Word from Our Founders
Tré Cates, Founder and Managing Director, nRhythm
John Fullerton, Founder of Capital Institute and Author of Regenerative Economics
Technology at a Turning Point
But another path is possible, one shaped by living systems.
A Different Kind of Intelligence
AI With Life begins from a simple but radical idea: real intelligence is not mechanical, it is living.
What would AI look like if it strengthened vitality, not just productivity?
If it evolved through relationship, not control?
What’s Underway
Research and Co-Creation
This is not just a build, it’s a learning journey.
OUR ASPIRATION IS BOLD:
To help shape the first truly life-centered AI
OUR STANCE IS HUMBLE:
We are experimenting, learning, and adapting in relationship with life itself.
Join the Experiment
Thank you for your interest in being part of AI With Life, co-creating the first AI that learns from life, not machines. We invite you to support this work by contributing what you can, and we are pleased to offer tiered perks for certain donation levels.
Your donation will help cover essential costs of funding the build and ongoing iteration of the Regenerative Economics AI Companion, the Regenerative Business AI Companion, and administration and coordination of the expanding research community engaging in shared exploration of what AI in service to life could become, including focus groups, workshops, community spaces and discussions, and compilation of our growing body of knowledge as this project evolves.
We welcome donations at any level. Three contribution levels gain contributors access to certain perks.
- EXPLORERS - At the $250 contribution level, contributors will receive 3 months of access to the first AI With Life prototype, the Regenerative Economics AI Companion, tuned to John Fullerton’s new book Regenerative Economics and a decade of work by the Capital Institute, as well as invitation to our Beta Testing Community
- CO-CREATORS - At the $750 contribution level, contributors will receive everything included in the EXPLORERS tier, plus 12 months of access to AI With Life, including all new versions, access to the Regenerative Business AI Companion, expected to release in Q2 of 2026, a signed copy of John’s book Regenerative Economics, and an invitation to mini-workshops using AI With Life.
- REGENERATIVE STEWARDS - At the $2500 contribution level, contributors will receive everything at the CO-CREATORS tier, plus 24 months of access to all emergent potential tools and features of AI With Life, invitation to participate in Research Focus Groups, and invitation to exclusive events for Regenerative Stewards of this project.
Aside from contributing, the most valuable way you can support the development of an AI that learns from life is to invite others to share in this journey with us!
Please share our vision and campaign and encourage others to learn about and join the AI With Life research community.
About Our Collaborators
A collaboration of nRhythm, a global organizational design and consulting firm transforming workplaces to create conditions for health and resilience for all, Capital Institute, a non-partisan think tank working to create a more just and sustainable way of life on earth, and With Life, a global regenerative community learning platform dedicated to building transformational capacity in our 2500+ members from 81 different countries, this project is rooted in our developing partnership with Kiiren , creators of a context-aware, human-aligned intelligence network designed to empower creators, change-makers, thought leaders, positive impact organizations, and businesses, The Regenerative Technology Project, whose mission is to reimagine technological innovation as a catalyst for thriving societies, ecologies, and economies. As ecosystem builders, the Regenerative Technology Project's work is to co-create open resources, help people help each other, and guide entrepreneurs, investors, and organizations in regenerative technology and innovation. This project is also developing in partnership with the co-authors of the seminal white paper on Regenerative AI Ethics, Caroline Chubb Calderon, Jessica Groopman, Martina Doleshal, Ali Kazemi, Rose Kudlac, and Sharon Neilson.

Capital Institute, founded by economist and author John Fullerton, is a non-partisan think tank working to create a more just and sustainable way of life on earth.
Together with its collaborative network, Capital Institute combines modern science, storytelling, and the knowledge of timeless wisdom traditions to illuminate the path from an extractive economy to an emerging regenerative economy that supports the long-term well-being of people, planet and business.
The Capital Institute has pioneered a new space for holistic economic thought that draws on the latest science of living systems, global wisdom traditions, and 20 years of real world experience at the pillar of global finance on Wall Street.
The Capital Institute encourages atransformation of our economic system to achieve social and ecological regeneration. Our finance-driven economic system is in urgent need of a regenerative model that must be aligned with the laws — not theories — of natural systems and our current scientific understanding of how the world works, which is remarkably aligned with the compassion embodied in all global wisdom traditions.
Capital Institute redefines wealth and reimagines finance in service to the emergence of an ecologically and socially regenerative economy. By addressing the root causes of climate change, economic injustice, and even pandemics, Capital Institute promotes the emergence of thriving communities and a flourishing planet.
The Regenerative Economy is a powerful one, unleashing presently unseen potential, which is the source of Regenerative Age prosperity, and replacing no longer feasible extractive growth. This potential derives from the essence of our individual genius, the deep purpose of regenerative enterprise large and small, and must extend to the macro socio-economic system as a whole.

The Regenerative Technology Project
helps
leaders take a holistic approach to tech innovation.
The Regenerative Technology Project’s mission is to
reimagine technological innovation as a catalyst for
thriving societies, ecologies, and economies. As
ecosystem builders, our work is to co-create open resources, help
people help each other, and guide entrepreneurs, investors, and
organizations in regenerative technology and innovation.
Whereas today’s technology is served by nature and humans, regenerative tech serves both people and planet, and enables mutual service between them. Collaborators in regenerative technology co-wrote the whitepaper on Regenerative AI Ethics.
