Creue is relational infrastructure: technology that helps small groups of people develop genuine trust, collective intelligence, and collaborative capacity. Communities of networked Creues form larger federated networks. Every feature, every design decision exists to do one of three things: create conditions for trust to develop, protect trust that has developed, or repair trust when it has been damaged.
The core design insight is that secure attachment and collective wisdom are properties of process, not personality. They emerge when people engage in processes characterized by trust, and safety. This process can be identified, and it can be supported by technology—or undermined by it. Current technology overwhelmingly undermines it. Creue is built to support it.
Every Creue operates under shared agreements that members affirms when they join a Creue. These agreements are both a relational foundation and a design specification—every platform feature must support them.***
The generative power comes from the people—from the trust they build, the way they practice together, and the collective wisdom they discover. The technology supports the conditions under which these naturally arise, and protects those conditions from being undermined.

***The experience that Creue is designed to support was originally instantiated in the international, sense-making community, founded by Claudia Dommaschk, Wisdom Exchange. Her upcoming work, The Communal Heart: A Return to Belonging in a World Pulling Us Apart (to be published in September 2026 by Wonderwell Press), is the source of the relational insights and processes that have sparked the technology innovation that is Creue.
