Computers working together

What if our computers
could work together?

OurOwn brings computers together so they can help each other do bigger things.

The simple idea

One computer can do a little.
Many computers can do much more together.

OurOwn More we can do together

Every computer has something useful it can contribute. OurOwn brings those useful resources together so they can work as part of something bigger.

More shared capability

Demonstration only. Live Fabric numbers are shown above.

Why add a computer?

Useful computing power doesn't have to work alone.

OurOwn is being built so independent computers can contribute useful resources to something larger, while their owners remain in control.

Share what is available

A computer can contribute useful computing resources when they are available.

Bring resources together

OurOwn coordinates useful resources instead of every computer working alone.

Do more together

As shared capability grows, more kinds of useful work become possible.

Private by design

Capability is visible. Identity stays private.

Where we're going

Computers are only the beginning.

Over time, OurOwn can bring different kinds of useful resources together — computing, AI, knowledge and, eventually, physical machines.

◎

THINK Bring computing and different AI capabilities together to help solve problems.

✦

CREATE Help create software, designs and other useful digital work.

↻

LEARN Use useful knowledge and completed work to improve what happens next.

◇

BUILD Eventually connect machines and production systems to help make physical things. Long-term direction

The bigger idea

IDEA→ THINK→ DESIGN→ BUILD→ TEST→ LEARN

Many independent resources.
One usable system.

Start by connecting computers. Grow toward a system that can bring together whatever useful capabilities a task needs.
