Black Datum

In private development

Keep your AI projects on solid ground.

Black Datum keeps the facts of your project — its goals, rules, decisions and where things stand — reliable across every ChatGPT conversation. ChatGPT can suggest changes. You decide what becomes part of the record.

Why it matters

Conversations forget

Long projects outgrow a single chat. Important details from earlier conversations are easy to lose.

Details drift

An assistant can quietly restate an earlier decision differently. Small changes add up until nobody is sure which version is right.

One trusted record

Black Datum keeps one approved version of your project's information and gives it to ChatGPT each time you send a message in a connected chat.

How it works

  1. Choose a project for your chat

    Click the Black Datum button in your browser while you are in ChatGPT and pick the project this conversation is about.

  2. Chat normally

    Each message you send in that chat includes your project's current, approved information, so ChatGPT works from the same facts every time.

  3. You approve what changes

    When ChatGPT suggests updating the project, Black Datum follows your approval settings: changes you want to check wait for you to approve, edit or reject them, and you can undo a saved change.

You stay in control

Your approval settings

Choose which kinds of changes need your approval — for everything, by category, or for individual records.

ChatGPT cannot approve itself

Suggestions from ChatGPT never change their own approval rules. Only you can.

Your own Google Drive

Suggested changes travel through report files that Black Datum creates in your Google Drive. It can see only the files it creates there.

Availability

Black Datum is in private development and is used by a small number of invited people. It is not yet available to the public and is not accepting sign-ups or payments. It currently needs a Windows computer, a Chromium-based browser such as Brave, and a ChatGPT account.
