The RUMO Vocabulary
Plain-language definitions of the terms RUMO uses for giving AI personal context — a few of which we coined. Have a question we haven’t answered? Read the FAQ.
Context Anchor
A Context Anchor is a structured, portable document that captures one durable dimension of who you are — your identity, voice, stories, current situation, life arc, or key relationships. Coined by RUMO, an anchor is personal context that does not expire when a chat ends: paste it into any AI tool and it works from a real foundation instead of guessing.

Context mining is RUMO’s guided process for surfacing the personal context an AI actually needs. Instead of facing a blank page, you answer curated questions across six dimensions, and your answers become the raw material for your Context Anchors. The term was coined by RUMO; the questions are designed to surface what you would never think to write down.
Start context miningRUMO
RUMO is a web app that gives your AI the context it needs to actually know you. Through context mining you build six structured Context Anchors and drop them into any AI tool. “Rumo” is the Portuguese word for direction, course, or heading — the idea is to give your AI direction before you give it instructions.
The idea behind RUMOThe Vault
The vault is your personal library inside RUMO, where every Context Anchor lives in one place. You revisit, regenerate, and update your documents anytime as your life changes, without starting over. Vault access is included with the annual plan.
What’s includedChart Your Course
Chart Your Course is RUMO’s guided session for building all six Context Anchors in one continuous flow. It walks you through each dimension in sequence, so you leave with a complete, portable context foundation rather than a single standalone document.
Chart your coursePersonal Constitution
Your Personal Constitution is the Context Anchor that captures who you are — your values, beliefs, and non-negotiables. It is the free starting anchor in RUMO and the foundation the other five build on, so AI reasons from what you stand for instead of a generic average.

The Writing Codex is the Context Anchor that captures how you write — your sentence rhythms, tone, humor, metaphors, and the words you never use. It is a complete voice profile, so any AI model can draft in a way that actually sounds like you.
About the Writing CodexStory Bank
The Story Bank is the Context Anchor that holds what you have lived — the stories you always tell and the phrases you repeat. It is the raw material that lets AI reference your real experiences and sound like someone who was actually there.
About the Story BankState of the Union
State of the Union is the Context Anchor that captures where you are right now — your current situation, active projects, priorities, and constraints. It is a living document, so AI works from your present reality instead of an outdated or generic profile.
About State of the UnionTimeline
The Timeline is the Context Anchor that captures where you have been and where you are headed — your life chapters, milestones, and trajectory. It gives AI the arc of your life, not just a snapshot of today.
About the TimelineInfluence Roster
