How You Think is Your Edge.
We Build It Into Your AI.
Whatever you’re working on, there’s a thinking mind on the other end — yours, or theirs. And Clara can know them both.
Put Clara to work on —

The Architecture of Human Thinking for a Better Future
MindTime reveals how we think, process, and decide through a time-based framework of Past, Present, and Future thinking. Unlike personality tests that describe what people do, MindTime explains why. Built on 20+ years of cross-cultural research, MindTime maps the motivational architecture behind human behavior, making cognition visible and actionable.
Past: How we build certainty
Oriented toward structure, logic, and trusted systems. Past thinkers lead with evidence, data, and the reliability of what’s proven to work.
Present: How we move into action
Focused on results, timing, and relevance. Present thinkers value closure, pragmatism, and clarity in process and people.
Future: How we imagine what’s possible
Driven by change and vision. Future thinkers lead with innovation, big ideas, and the creative courage to disrupt.
This is the science behind Clara. When you chat with Clara, it knows your thinking style in real time — and shapes every response to connect with you.
We’ve spent nearly three decades helping people understand people. Now we’re helping systems do the same.
From Science to Systems of Understanding.
MindTime provides the first complete cognitive framework that explains how people think, why they act, and how meaning is formed. It reveals time-based thought patterns that shape behavior across cultures, generations, and individuals.
As AI begins to influence every aspect of society, one question matters more than any other: how do we make it truly human-aware?
MindTime is the answer. It’s not psychology rebranded — it’s cognitive science reimagined for the age of AI. And Clara is the proof. It’s the first AI agent built on this science, and it’s already changing how people experience artificial intelligence: not as a tool that computes, but as a presence that understands.
Why is MindTime so unique?
Precision. Simplicity. Scientific Depth.
Cognitive Precision in Under four minutes
MindTime produces remarkably accurate cognitive profiles using just three core thinking vectors. Over one million people mapped already.
Science-Built and Tested. Ethically Engineered.
Developed through decades of interdisciplinary research and used by psychologists, educators, strategists, and leaders around the world.
Turns AIs from probabilistic to predictive.
MindTime provides predictive insight for AI solutions by openly measuring people's thinking styles. Then we provide MindTime vectors to AI.

Meet the framework
This is not a system built for machines. It is a framework built for people.
John Furey, creator of the MindTime framework, spent over 30 years decoding how humans think, decide, and relate. In this short talk, he walks you through the powerful simplicity at the heart of it all: how time shapes thought, and how understanding it transforms communication, leadership, and connection.
This is not just a theory. It is practical, precise, and deeply human.
You are in good company
One Framework.
Infinite Possibilities.
We develop cognitive AI solutions built on a scientific understanding of how people think.
FAQ
MindTime is a cognitive science framework built on 25+ years of peer-reviewed research. It maps how people think using three time-based thinking perspectives — Past, Present, and Future — and is the foundation for cognition-aware AI.
A thinking style is your personal pattern of how you orient toward Past, Present, and Future when processing information and making decisions. MindTime maps this pattern in under three minutes using three core vectors — producing a cognitive profile, not a type or category.
Past Thinking prioritises certainty — leading with evidence, data, and proven methods. Present Thinking prioritises probability — focused on structure, process, and practical results. Future Thinking prioritises possibility — drawn to innovation, vision, and what could be; everyone uses all three in different proportions
Cognition-aware AI is artificial intelligence that understands how a person thinks — not just what they say or do. MindTime’s framework enables AI to adapt its responses to an individual’s thinking style, rather than treating all users the same.
MindTime is not a personality test. It is a predictive cognitive theory that explains why people think and decide as they do — not just what they tend to do. It produces a cognitive map based on peer-reviewed science, not a type label or category.
Yes. MindTime is grounded in 25+ years of peer-reviewed research published in leading psychology journals including Personality and Individual Differences. The framework has been validated cross-culturally, cited over 133 times in academic work, and accounts for 44% of variance in future time perspective on the Zimbardo scale.
Take the MindTime Profile at mindtime.com — it takes under four minutes. You’ll receive three thinking style reports, a visual cognitive map, and a personal MindTime Key that unlocks access to Clara, your cognition-aware AI thinking partner.
MindTime is the human science behind how we think. Built on 25 years of research, it reveals the hidden architecture of thought; past, present, and future. It empowers people to understand one another in profoundly meaningful ways though a powerful framework for trust, collaboration, and human-aligned technology.
