What Nirvaana is
Nirvaana is an early research product: an agent that keeps a world for one person — what they have promised, what they are owed, what they are building toward. It is run by Benicio Padilla.
It is unfinished, and it behaves like it. Features appear and disappear, answers can be wrong, and the whole thing can be down. Do not rely on it as the only record of anything that matters, and check anything important before you act on it.
Who can use it
Accounts are invite-only. An email address has to be on the allowlist before it can become an account at all. If you are here, someone let you in; do not share your account, and do not try to get someone else in through it. You must be old enough to enter an agreement where you live, and at least 13.
Using it well
Do not:
- break the law with it, or use it to hurt, harass or deceive someone;
- upload other people’s private information without the right to, or anything you are not allowed to share;
- try to get past the limits — the allowlist, another person’s data, the spend fences, the boundary between your private world and a shared one;
- resell it, load it automatically at scale, or otherwise run up costs that were obviously not meant for one person’s use.
The agent has standing limits of its own: it takes no outward action — sending, paying, signing, deleting, contacting another person — without your explicit yes in that conversation. Asking it to work around that is asking for something it will decline.
Your content stays yours
You keep ownership of everything you write, save or upload. You give us only the permission needed to run the service for you: to store it, to show it back to you, and to send it to the providers listed in the privacy policy so your agent can answer. Nothing more. What you deliberately publish into a shared world is visible to the people in that world, which is the point of publishing it.
The software, the design and the agent’s principles are ours and stay ours; using Nirvaana does not give you a licence to them.
No warranty
Nirvaana is provided as it is, with no warranty of any kind. We do not promise it will be available, accurate, uninterrupted, secure, or fit for any particular purpose. This is a beta given to a handful of people; treat it that way.
Limits on what we owe you
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential losses, for lost profits, or for lost or corrupted data. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to what you have paid for Nirvaana in the twelve months before the claim — which, while it is free, is nothing. Some places do not allow these limits, and where that is so, they do not apply to you.
The exact wording of this section, and of the governing law and dispute sections a real agreement needs, is where an attorney’s version will differ most from this draft.
Ending it
You can stop at any time and ask us to delete your account; the privacy policy says what deletion does. We can suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, that puts the service or someone else at risk, or when we shut the product down — and we will tell you, and give you a chance to get your data out, unless the law prevents it.
Changes
When these terms change, the date at the top changes. For a change that materially affects you, we will tell the people with accounts before it takes effect.
