AI becomes more powerful when people think together.

IMDEA develops Human-Centred Cooperative AI environments connecting people, physical spaces and artificial intelligence.

AI is becoming individual.Human intelligence is collective.

Most AI tools are built for one person at a time. Yet the ideas that matter are shaped in conversation: in classrooms, teams and communities. IMDEA designs AI for the group.

  • Multiple people
  • Shared environment
  • Cooperative intelligence

From individual AI to Cooperative AI.

We do not simply sell hardware and software. We design a new interaction architecture.

AIPersonPeoplePeopleSocialStation®Thinks4®Shared intelligence
One person, one screen, one prompt. The AI answers a single point of view.

One ecosystem, two layers.

SocialStation® is the place people gather around. Thinks4® is the software that lets the group think with AI.

Physical layer

SocialStation®

The physical interface for Cooperative AI.

A patented station that combines a shared workspace, a digital display, a camera, LED interaction lights and physical buttons.

Meet.Think.Create.

Software layer

Thinks4®

The Cooperative AI operating environment.

AI interaction, content, collaborative workflows, gamification and analytics in one environment.

  1. OrientFrame the challenge together.
  2. InspireExplore ideas and sources with AI.
  3. ElaborateBuild the answer as a group.
  4. SharePresent, compare and keep what matters.

Where Cooperative AI works.

Four contexts, one principle: people in the same room, reasoning together with artificial intelligence.

  • Education

    Education

    Collaborative learning, AI literacy and media education. Classes gather around one station, question the AI together and turn what they learn into films, podcasts and projects.

  • Enterprise

    Enterprise

    Training, workforce engagement and collaborative intelligence. Teams tackle real problems with AI in a shared space and turn individual know-how into decisions the whole group owns.

  • Cities & Public Sector

    Cities & Public Sector

    Citizen participation, innovation and territorial engagement. Communities meet to discuss local challenges, explore information with AI and shape proposals together.

  • Culture & Events

    Culture & Events

    Interactive knowledge, storytelling and audience engagement. Museums, festivals and venues turn visitors into participants who explore content and build stories as a group.

From research to real environments.

Cooperative AI is not a concept. It already runs in classrooms, companies and institutions.

Technology should not isolate people.

It should bring them together.

We believe the next generation of artificial intelligence will not only help individuals think faster. It will help communities think together.

Human-Centred Cooperative AI.

IMDEA is an Italian technology company. We design environments where people learn, create and make decisions together with artificial intelligence.

SocialStation® and Thinks4® are the first proof that this way of using AI already exists. The same architecture will host the products that come next.
