Sensemaking technology, cognitive science, embodied intelligence — information structure, natural intelligence, and tools for collective understanding at the edge of AI

Inqwire
10 ideas27 connections

Jill Nephew is a technologist, cognitive scientist, and founder of Inqwire, a platform designed to enhance natural human sensemaking rather than replace it with artificial intelligence. With a background spanning constraint optimization, protein folding, and complex systems modeling, she approaches cognition as both a computational and ecological problem — asking how information structure shapes what minds can perceive and decide. She is writing a book on sensemaking, information presentation, mental health, and the nature of human intelligence.
