for hosts · steward a voice

Bring a voice to life.

Have a body of wisdom — books, talks, a tradition, a community? Host it as a living voice others can sit with. Built by volunteers, offered as a gift.

the invitation

Wisdom, made answerable.

A voice turns a static archive into a companion people can actually talk with — one that answers from your books, talks, and teachings, cites its sources, and speaks in every major language. You decide what it knows and what it shows.

Hosting is free, non-commercial, and yours to control. No ads, no data harvesting, no lock-in. The technology is the instrument; you bring the wisdom, and our volunteers help you tune it.

three kinds of voice

What you can bring.

content

A Content voice

For authors and teachers with a substantial body of work and a community already listening. Example: SharonBot — all 19 of Sharon Salzberg’s books, plus thousands of articles and talks.

community

A Community voice

For organizations and groups with diverse content around a shared theme, serving many communities at once. Example: BatGap Bot — over 500 datasets.

yoda

A Yoda voice

For individuals exploring AI and inner transformation with a curated dataset of wisdom you love. Example: a blend of Gandhi, Fukuoka, and Sharon Salzberg.

how it works

From content to companion, in four moves.

Gather content

Books, articles, blog posts, YouTube videos — anything you have the rights to. Even one piece is enough to begin.

Shape a credo

A one-page “constitution” of voice and values. We start you with a default; you refine it.

Upload & process

Upload through your bot’s page and watch it move from received to processed — usually within a couple of hours.

Go live & share

Test with a friend, make it public when ready, and share it with your community.

the gift

Free, as in gift.

Every ServiceSpace offering is provided as a gift by volunteers, and always will be. The only running cost is the model’s “API key” — roughly a penny for every couple of queries, paid directly to the provider. A simple metaphor: we gift you the house; you cover the electricity.

no fees · no ads · no lock-in · your content, your control
