A letter from Gary

Dear friend,

When I close my eyes, there's nothing there. No picture, no sound, no smell. I have aphantasia, and mine reaches every one of my senses. My memory works the same way. Researchers call it severely deficient autobiographical memory, which means I can know the facts of my life but I can't relive any of it. Left on its own, my brain remembers things about as well as an eighty-year-old's.

I didn't know any of this was unusual until I was twenty-three. Ever since, I've built my life around writing things down. Conversations. Promises. The people I care about. I used Notion so much that its founders asked to see how I was using it. I wore Meta Ray-Ban glasses to capture what my brain wouldn't keep, and Meta asked me to speak at SXSW in 2026 about how I use them. And my phone? More photos on it than anyone's I know.

I did all of this because I had to. For a long time I prayed for my brain to be healed. It wasn't. Looking back now, it was a gift. It pushed me to build systems most people never knew they needed. And it showed me something most people live with on a smaller scale. We all forget things, we all lose track, and honestly we're all carrying more than we can hold.

My co-founder, Wilson, is brilliant, and he has extreme ADHD. His mind runs in a dozen directions at once. Mine holds nothing unless it is written down. We started out building tools for ourselves, so two very different brains could do their best work together. A tool that worked for both of us had to remember what matters, put it in order, and hold us to what we said we would do.

Then it hit us. There's no such thing as a normal brain. Every brain is different in its own way, and more people than not are quietly struggling: with computers that weren't built for the way they think, with goals they can't keep in view, with dreams that are bigger than the tools they have.

That's who we build Supersuit for. It helps you remember what matters and figure out what comes first, and it puts the most capable AI in the world to work on exactly that, so you can go after the goals on your heart. Even the wildest ones.

I'm doing this for the people whose dreams are bigger than what today's tools let them reach. Give people tools that work the way their brains work, and they're unstoppable. I've watched it happen in my own life, in Wilson's, and with the people we work with.

If that sounds like you, we'd love to meet you.

And if you want the longer version of my story, it lives at garysheng.com.
