Honest limits

The whole product is one claim: it does not lie. So here is everything it can’t do.

One assistant today

Only Claude Code is supported right now. The rest roll out one batch at a time, the CLIs next and the GUIs later. See Assistants for the full list and where yours stands.

It can only read what survived

stratless reads all of your history, but only what still exists. Claude Code deletes transcripts after 30 days, so anything that aged out before you ran init is gone for good, and the profile is built from what remains. That is why init is the one step you cannot do later.

The profile is derived, and a model can be wrong

It is not a transcript. It is written by an LLM from your real history, told to say less rather than invent, with every number counted by code so none of it can be fabricated. But it is still a model of a person, reasoned from evidence. It can be wrong, and it can echo itself: if it decides something about you and the assistant then leans into it, your reactions can quietly confirm a read that was off. Look at your profile; if it doesn’t sound like you, that is the most useful thing you can tell us.

It fits the model, it doesn’t fix it

stratless doesn’t make your assistant smarter. It gives the assistant a model of you, so it stops explaining at the wrong altitude. That is the whole job, and it is smaller than “AI that gets you.”

And it’s n = 1

stratless was built by one person, from one person’s transcripts. The problem is real for him with total certainty, and for everyone else with none. If you run it and the profile looks nothing like you, open an issue. That is the most useful thing you could possibly tell us.
