OpenProfile.ai is not a product or protocol — it’s a paradigm shift in how AI systems understand users across digital ecosystems.
Born at the intersection of:
- Schema.org — structured, machine-readable data for the web
- MCP — as a transport model for interoperability
- Solid Project — as an ideological backbone for decentralized, user-owned data
OpenProfile proposes a decentralized context layer, where people can share curated facts about themselves
(e.g., what they own, what they enjoy, what they believe in)
with the websites and AI assistants they trust — without sacrificing privacy or control.
The OpenProfile.ai architecture is designed to enable secure, privacy-respecting, and interoperable communication between AI systems and user-owned data sources. It is built around two core components: the Gateway and the Fact Pod.
To learn more about the technical design, key participants, and how OpenProfile.ai works, check out the Architecture Documentation.
AI systems — from recommendation engines to shopping assistants — suffer from:
- ❄️ Cold starts
- 🧩 Lack of user context
- 💸 Expensive training with sparse data
Brands spend millions training models that barely know their users.
We believe the missing link isn’t more data — it’s better access to user-declared facts,
safely shared through a trust-based model.
OpenProfile.ai is an invitation to rethink identity, context, and preference in the age of AI.

Thanks to early inspiration, input, and feedback from:
We’re seeking early sponsors who believe in:
- ✅ A user-first internet
- ✅ Privacy-respecting personalization
- ✅ Semantic data as infrastructure
- ✅ Open protocols and shared context standards
The idea of the OpenProfile.ai standard is in a very early stage. We’ve just started gathering information about real-world challenges, testing hypotheses, and listening to both businesses and users. The original idea may evolve. The concept might expand — or get more focused.
So any feedback, relevant experience, or references to similar initiatives are highly appreciated.
