Tapasya

Retrieval-augmented philosophy reading and writing system

A retrieval-augmented reading and writing environment for philosophy. Search across Nietzsche passages, inspect cited sources, continue at passage level, and move into essay mode without leaving the same thinking workflow.

goal: Build a retrieval-first philosophy product that keeps users close to difficult texts through search, passage conversation, and essay companionship, while using AI to strengthen thought instead of replacing it.
