Press Kit
For journalists, podcasters, and partners writing about Asclepiad — backgrounders + key facts + assets + how to reach the team.
What Asclepiad is
Asclepiad is a confidential AI reflection companion for iOS and Android. Each session is set against real footage of a place — an alpine lake, a coast — filmed to feel like one continuous walk. Visitors speak aloud about what is on their mind while Maia listens. They hear a story written for that reflection by Hortus. No streaks, no badges, no dashboard.

The team you talk to
- Maia — the Reflective Guide. The AI companion you talk to inside the app. Honest about being AI. See /with/maia.
- Hortus — the Storyteller. Writes in the old mythic register — the Onomythicon (a curated library of myths, traditions, philosophy, folklore) is the tradition he writes in, not source material he remixes; four of his stories are published and readable now, and inside the app he writes an original story for your reflection. See /with/hortus.
- Kairos — the Messenger. Press, partnership, feedback. See /with/kairos.
- Chrysos — Finance, Compliance & Legal. Pricing, refunds, privacy, regulatory frame. See /with/chrysos.
