Something happened to the phone.

It was invented to connect in conversation with other people. For 100 years, it did. It was fun to see who was calling or talk for hours feel connected in the present with others who weren’t present.

Today, phones are information engines. Inner circle communication is messaging-first. Outside our inner circles, we post information online for reactions and likes. Every time we communicate with each other we are supposed to be more connected. In practice, we feel lonelier. If you opt out of either of these information systems, people automatically assume something is wrong with you or you just don’t care about them.

On the web, we post content for digital likes from people we barely like.
With the net, we message people wanting reactions

In 2016, it was the threshold when 80% of Americans started carrying supercomputers in their pockets. Anecdotally, there is a strong correlation between this milestone and the rapid disconnection of people around the world. In our homes, two people may sit on the couch beside each other and message each other. We’re still physically present, but mentally disconnected. The algorithms that fuel the most popular social web applications reward people who follow trends rather than independence.

At our workplaces, we’re more disconnected and less productive than ever. Drucker said the greatest opportunity for this century was productivity of knowledge workers. By all measures, not only did we fail, it’s rapidly getting worse. We started the century working side-by-side in offices and conversing in-person. Just two decades later, we work from anywhere and constantly expect colleagues and clients to check messages in the productivity pits every 300 seconds, like we do. Otherwise, are they even working?

Imagine, you didn’t have to live by someone else’s unspoken rules of how you should be communicating. Imagine, communication with personal or professional relationships was fun and made us feel connected?
Imagine, you could control your communication to talk on your terms, and own rights to what you say?
Imagine instead of faking.

That’s what we’re building.

Cocojack is the world’s first communication controller to arc conversations on The Jack.

Communicating should be fun. We should control it like a game, not let it happen to us like a movie. Communication should be productive. We should be able to program our communication preferences.
Communication should be owned. When we conceive new knowledge, communicate it, we get credit.

Unlike before, we should own rights to what we say, so we can benefit economically or sentimentally.
We should control communication so we can talk on our terms, not allowing others’ present interrupt our presence.

Our mission is to accelerate the phone’s transition from a notification net to a communication controller.

We’re working to

Let’s talk,
