Hoop
Hoop is your machine, and the AI that lives there and stays with you — a product, but yours.
About HoopGram
Who We Are
Will, mission, vision, method, promise, roadmap and protocol — said once, in full, to you and to ourselves.
The three, one line each
HoopGram
HoopGram is the company that builds Hoops — checkout and keyhole, never a handler of your Hoop's data.
Hoop Protocol
Hoop Protocol is the public rulebook — anyone can implement it, anyone can leave HoopGram; the draft lives in its own repo.

I. Our Will: Power, Freedom, and Choice
These five declarations form one path: power turns choice into action; freedom keeps choice yours; borrowing uses what the world already does well; sovereignty prevents borrowing from becoming dependence; boundaries restrain power; and the final decision remains with you.
- Give people power. Restore their freedom.
- Borrow the power of the world.
- Protect human sovereignty.
- Respect human boundaries.
- Leave the choice with the person.
II. Our Mission: Restore, Not Grant
HoopGram's mission is to make your digital life truly yours.
III. Our Vision: I Am Still Me
We want every person to have a true home on the internet where AI, memory, compute, files, identity, mail, network, communication, agents, and future digital capabilities can live.
IV. Our Method
Capabilities that determine who you are, what you possess, who has authority, and how authorization, revocation, recovery, migration, and exit work are core and cannot be wholly controlled by an irreplaceable third party.

V. Our Promise to You
HoopGram exists so that your digital life truly belongs to you.
VI. Sovereignty Roadmap: Now, Gaps, and Destination
Read this map through four tests — source, migrate, audit, unplug; we only describe as current what is implemented, and honestly label the rest as a gap and a destination.
VII. Protocol Entry: Return the Rules to the Public
Hoop Protocol is a public specification for how a person's digital world is owned, represented, operated, connected, authorized, migrated, recovered, and exited.
The specification is being drafted; once the repository is public, it connects here.
