A new kind of social network

Digital Couriers for the Modern Web

Just as ancient couriers carried messages with care and intentionality, Ruwt brings mediated communication to the digital world.

"The couriers went throughout all Israel and Judah with letters from the king and his officials..."

— 2 Chronicles 30:6

The Hebrew word for couriers is ratzim, from the root ruts (pronounced ruwts)—meaning to run. These runners didn't just deliver messages; they bridged distances between human hearts.

The Runner

Your message, delivered with intention

You

Write your message

Runner

Mediates & refines

Them

Receives with care

In Ruwt, you don't DM users directly. You interact with AI Runners—fiduciaries that carry your message with purpose.

Intentional Delivery

Runners vet and format your communication based on your intent and the recipient's context.

Latency as a Feature

The slight delay isn't a bug—it's a moment of reflection, reintroducing healthy friction.

Identity Protection

The sender and receiver don't see each other directly. Only the Runner knows both parties.

First Runner

The Peacemaker

Our first Runner specializes in reconciliation. It intercepts messages that might wound, offering gentler alternatives while preserving your authentic voice.

Your draft

"I can't believe you did that. You never think about anyone but yourself."

The Peacemaker suggests...
Suggested revision

"I was hurt by what happened. I'd like to understand your perspective."

You always have the final say. Send the original, accept the revision, or ask for another option.

Spaces for Connection

Not all communication needs mediation

Cities

Communities of shared interest. Humans who know each other's identity and can contact each other directly—no Runner required.

  • Public existence, visible size
  • Open entry (unless restricted)
  • Direct 1-on-1 messaging

Closes

Private, invite-only spaces that function like digital homes. Maximum 100 members. Their existence cannot be confirmed by outsiders.

  • Completely private
  • Owner-controlled invitations
  • No AI mediation or surveillance

Inside Cities and Closes, humans connect directly—the way we always have—without AI interference or platform surveillance.

Slow Tech in a Fast World

Modern messaging optimizes for speed. Ruwt optimizes for intention.

01

AI as Medium, Not Destination

Most apps frame AI as something you talk to. Ruwt frames AI as something you talk through—to reach other humans.

02

Privacy by Architecture

We prioritize data security not as an afterthought, but as a foundation. Your conversations are yours.

03

Friction Can Be Grace

The instant "Blue Bubble" delivery has a cost. A moment of pause before sending can transform conflict into connection.
