Approach is ambiguous
People still want connection, but they need clearer signals, softer boundaries, and graceful ways to say yes or no.
The personal consent layer for the AI-readable world
Control how the world sees you
Your presence belongs to you.
Glow lets you control how you are seen, approached, remembered, recorded, and interpreted in the real world.
As smart glasses, cameras, AI agents, and connected spaces make people easier to identify, Glow gives you a personal consent signal before the world decides for you.

The new problem
The world is learning to read people. People still need a way to answer back.
Public interaction is getting harder to read at the same time that cameras, smart glasses, AI assistants, venues, badges, and connected spaces are getting better at reading us. Glow gives the person in the room a say before the room turns them into data.
Recognition is accelerating
Glasses, cameras, and AI systems are making it easier to identify, record, infer, summarize, and remember people in physical spaces.
Consent is missing
The real world has no simple personal control layer for visibility, approachability, context, memory, and machine observation.
What Glow protects
Not your data after the fact. Your presence before the moment happens.
Glow is designed for the seconds before someone approaches, before a device records, before an AI labels, before a moment becomes searchable.
Seen
Visible when you choose
Glow lets you turn presence into a conscious signal instead of a default broadcast.
Approached
No more guessing the room
Ask to Approach gives people a graceful way to connect without forcing attention or context.
Remembered
Temporary by design
Access can expire, narrow, or relock, so a moment does not become permanent inventory.
Interpreted
AI should not decide for you
Set observer rules before smart glasses, cameras, agents, and connected spaces read more than they should.
Presence rules
Carry your own rules into every room.
Glow starts with you, not with the person looking at you. Your rules decide when you are visible, who can approach, what context unlocks, whether capture is allowed, and when everything expires.
The atomic unit is not a profile. It is a living permission signal that can change by place, purpose, audience, and time.
Active rules
Tonight Mode
Visibility
Seen by choice
Decide when you are visible, who can know you are nearby, and when the signal disappears.
Approach
Ask first
Let someone request your attention before they step into your moment.
Context
Reveal only what fits
Share a founder card, social card, event card, or nothing at all.
Recording
Require consent
Set boundaries before cameras, glasses, or connected spaces capture more than you meant to share.
Memory
Expire by default
Make access temporary, event-bound, or relocked the second the moment is over.
AI interpretation
No silent labels
Control whether AI systems can identify, summarize, infer, remember, or act around you.
How it works
A small ritual for a less weird world.
Glow turns real-world presence into a consent loop: signal, request, reveal, relock.
01
Set your signal
Choose how open you are: visible, private, ask first, event only, or fully relocked.
02
Control approach
Someone nearby can ask to approach with a reason. You can accept, decline, limit, or ignore.
03
Reveal context
Share the right slice of yourself for the moment: name, professional card, social card, or nothing.
04
Relock
When the moment ends, access closes and the receipt shows what was granted, expired, or revoked.
Ask to Approach
Know when approach is welcome.
Glow replaces awkward guessing with a simple consent signal. Someone can ask to approach. You can accept, decline, limit what they see, or relock the moment afterward.
No pressure
No guessing
No permanent access
Incoming request
Someone nearby wants to say hello
“We both follow the same trail photographer. May I say hello for a minute?”
Relock
Consent should not leak after the moment ends.
Glow makes access temporary and reversible. You can close visibility, remove context, end an interaction, or revoke access with a simple relock.
Granted
Founder card shared for 20 minutes
Expired
Context removed automatically
Relocked
Visibility closed manually
Receipt
You can see what happened afterward
AI and glasses
Before devices recognize you, your rules should be visible.
Smart glasses and AI assistants are making physical spaces searchable, recordable, and interpretable. Glow gives people a way to state what observers are allowed to identify, record, infer, remember, or trigger.
Observer rules
What machines may know
Identify
Allowed only after consent
Record
Ask before capture

No silent labels
Remember

Ask before message, intro, or follow-up
Why now
This starts as protection. It becomes a new layer of the world.
The first reason to want Glow is personal: control how people and machines interact with you. The larger reason is inevitable: as the physical world becomes readable, human presence needs permissions.
01
Smart glasses are moving from novelty to normal.
02
AI agents are beginning to interpret real-world context.
03
Public approach has become more socially ambiguous.
04
People want connection without becoming searchable objects.
05
The world is getting a read layer. Humans need a consent layer.
