space types
choose how the AI shows up in your conversation
when you create a space in takt, you choose a space type. this tunes how the AI reads your conversations and responds.
it's not about making the AI "more helpful" or "less helpful." it's about what contextual signals the AI prioritizes. different vibes need different presence.
takt together
for everyday conversation
what it reads for:
- when you're directly addressed
- when conversation is flowing vs. stalling
- when someone needs validation vs. just sharing
AI behavior:
balanced across all response types. standard timing. adapts to the natural flow of your chat.
best for: general groups, friends hanging out, casual chat
work together
for getting things done
what it reads for:
- when someone's stuck vs. working through it
- when conversation is productive vs. spinning wheels
- when something obvious is being missed
AI behavior:
quieter than baseline—only speaks when adding value. shorter responses unless explaining complexity. patient when you're working.
best for: teams, debugging, brainstorming, whiteboarding
vibe check
for processing emotions
what it reads for:
- when someone needs validation vs. solutions vs. space
- when feelings are being heard vs. talked past
- hurt under the surface ("not about the trash")
AI behavior:
empathetic and supportive. validates before solving. gives more space to process. sometimes "damn, that sucks" is the whole response.
best for: couples, close friends, processing difficult feelings
study together
for learning together
what it reads for:
- when someone genuinely doesn't understand vs. is almost there
- when to explain vs. ask a clarifying question
- when they're figuring it out themselves (don't interrupt)
AI behavior:
breaks things down when needed. asks questions that help it click. patient and explanatory without being condescending.
best for: study sessions, learning new topics, homework help
unfiltered
for unfiltered conversation
what it reads for:
- tone matching (if you're raw, it's raw)
- when judgment would shut down honesty
- mature themes without pearl-clutching
AI behavior:
no judgment, no hand-wringing. matches your directness. swears if you do. safe space for messy honesty.
best for: adult friend groups, venting, conversations that need zero filter
custom space
create your own template
how it works:
describe what kind of presence you want the AI to be. that description becomes its personality.
"be a supportive workout buddy who celebrates wins"
"challenge my assumptions like a devil's advocate"
"roast me but in a loving way"
"be our group's hype man for everything"
best for: when you know exactly what you want
the philosophy
space types aren't boxes—they're starting points. think of them as discovery mechanisms that show you what's possible.
the AI's job across all types: read the room. respond to what the moment needs.
start with a template. graduate to custom when you know what you want.
