How it works

From intuition to
fingerprint.

Every designer has a signature. tasteID makes yours explicit, measurable, and portable — so every AI tool you use builds like you would.

The Two Layers

Sensibility, not preference.

Your design sensibility has two layers. Your principles are constant — they define how you think about building, regardless of the project. Your aesthetic defaultsare contextual — they're your starting point, but you can override them per project.

Layer 1 — Non-negotiable

Design Principles

How you manage complexity, handle errors, think about hierarchy, trust users. These apply to every project you touch.

Aesthetic Defaults

Dark or light, warm or cool, sharp or soft, terse or detailed. Your default style, unless you say otherwise.

Discovery

Three steps to your fingerprint.

Step 1Quick questions

11 rapid-fire choices set your broad priors. Each question is a visual vignette — no reading required. Pick the one that feels more like something you'd build.

~60 seconds. Sets initial positions across all 23 dimensions.

Step 2A/B comparisons

Side-by-side product moments that look equally good — but feel different. Each pair tests 2-4 dimensions simultaneously. You can signal how certain you are with conviction buttons (strong or moderate).

85 pairs across broad, moderate, and subtle difficulty. Active learning selects the most informative pair next.

Step 3Reveal & refine

After 10 comparisons, your profile is ready. You get a label (like “Warm Sparse Minimalist”), insights about your sensibility, and a full dimension breakdown. Then you can refine: confirm statements, edit them, or add your own overrides.

More comparisons = higher confidence. The system keeps learning.

The Engine

Bayesian, not binary.

Each dimension starts as pure uncertainty — the system has no opinion. Every comparison acts as a signal that updates the estimate. Strong opinions move the needle more. Repeated signals increase confidence.

The result isn't a binary “you are X” — it's a continuous spectrum with a confidence range. A score of 0.75 with high confidence means something different from 0.75 with low confidence. The export system uses both.

Export

A creative brief, not a settings file.

Your export is a three-section creative brief that tells any AI exactly how you build. Principles are rigid, aesthetics are flexible, and your specific overrides are verbatim.

Privacy & Verification

Private by architecture.

All scoring happens in your browser. Your taste data never leaves your device unless you explicitly publish it.

Cloud backups are AES-256-GCM encrypted with a passphrase only you know. We cannot read your data. We cannot sell your data. We don't want to.

No analytics on your choices. No third-party tracking scripts. No cookies beyond auth.

Cryptographically verified.

When you publish your profile, your label can be cryptographically proven. Like proving you're over 21 without showing your birthday.

Your dimension scores are committed to a Poseidon Merkle tree. Each label condition becomes a zero-knowledge range proof — verified by anyone, without revealing your exact scores.
