CanonIQ API · Design Partner Beta

The permissioned context layer between people and products.

CanonIQ API lets approved products adapt around who a user is, what they need, and what they have consented to share.

Use CanonIQ to reduce cold starts, personalize onboarding, improve recommendations, route users to better next steps, and make context-aware experiences feel less generic — without exposing the full user profile.

Two sides of CanonIQ

One context layer. Two powerful uses.

CanonIQ becomes the context layer between the person and the internet — so users can bring their context with them, and products can adapt around it.

For users

Take your context with you.

Users should not have to explain themselves from scratch every time they open a new product. CanonIQ gives people a way to carry approved context across products, with control over what is used, where, and why.

Bring selected context into supported products
Reduce repetitive onboarding
Keep product-specific profiles separate from full CanonIQ
Control what can be used or suppressed

For companies

Adapt your product around the person.

Products can request approved CanonIQ profile slices and use them to personalize onboarding, recommendations, next actions, offers, resource routing, explanations, and interface defaults.

Improve cold-start personalization
Request only the context your surface needs
Personalize without receiving the full profile
Respect consent, sensitivity, and portability rules

The platform story

CanonIQ becomes the context layer between the person and the internet, allowing approved products to adapt around who the user is, what they need, and what they have consented to share.

Most products personalize from local behavior: what someone clicked, watched, bought, searched, or ignored. CanonIQ adds a traceable operating intelligence layer — what a person values, what they avoid, what they are trying to do, how they make decisions, and what kind of help is actually useful.

Why CanonIQ

Give your product the context it is missing.

Most AI products and recommendation systems start with limited context. They ask users to repeat themselves, generate generic outputs, or personalize from shallow demographic and behavioral signals. CanonIQ provides structured identity, values, decision, preference, context, timing, and intent signals that product teams can use to create more relevant experiences.

Reduce cold starts

Start with permissioned identity intelligence instead of making every product interaction begin from zero.

Personalize with purpose

Adapt recommendations, messaging, onboarding, offers, and product flows around how a person actually decides.

Improve conversion

Use better context to match the right message, moment, product, or next action to the user.

Reduce prompt waste

Give your preferred LLM structured context up front so it spends less effort reconstructing the user.

How it works

How CanonIQ works

User builds or connects context

A user creates CanonIQ or builds product-specific profile signals through supported experiences.

Product requests a profile slice

An approved product asks for only the context needed for a specific surface or use case.

CanonIQ applies consent and sensitivity rules

The API filters context based on user permission, product scope, sensitivity, and portability settings.

The product adapts the experience

The product can personalize onboarding, recommendations, resource routing, offers, copy, layout, defaults, or next actions.

What products can personalize

What products can adapt

Onboarding

Start closer to the user's actual needs instead of asking every question from scratch.

Recommendations

Rank options using approved context, moment signals, preferences, constraints, and feedback.

Ads and offers

Show more relevant offers at better moments without exposing the user's full profile.

Resource routing

Surface grants, jobs, providers, public benefits, programs, or tools based on location, need, eligibility, and consented context.

AI assistants

Make preferred LLMs or AI workflows work better with less repeated context.

Interface defaults

Adapt tone, layout, CTA priority, explanation depth, filters, and next actions.

Example

Better relevance at the right moment.

A media platform may know what a user watched, but still show irrelevant ads or offers. With CanonIQ, the product could request an approved surface-specific profile slice and learn that this user prefers practical, low-pressure offers, avoids fear-based messaging, and is most receptive to family-friendly or time-saving recommendations in the evening.

Instead of only asking "what did this user watch?", the product can ask "what kind of message, offer, or next action is actually useful for this person right now?"

Privacy note. The product does not need the full CanonIQ profile. It receives only the approved context required for that surface.

API capabilities

Signal ingestion

Products can send structured signals such as saves, dismissals, preferences, feedback, resource interests, and moment context.

Profile slices

Products can request approved profile context for a specific product or surface.

Surface personalization

CanonIQ can return personalization instructions such as default filters, tone, layout, CTA priority, relevance tags, and avoid tags.

User correction

Users can correct, suppress, or remove signals.

Consent and scope

CanonIQ enforces what can be used in-product, across Lumenfolk products, with partners, or not at all.

Sensitivity handling

Signals can be labeled public, low, private, sensitive, or restricted.

}

CanonIQ should inform the experience without exposing the full person.

Permissioned by design

Profile slices, not profile dumps.

CanonIQ is designed to return only the context a product is allowed to use for a specific purpose. A recommendation surface, resource hub, onboarding flow, ad slot, or AI assistant may each receive different approved context.

Products do not receive the full CanonIQ by default.
Sensitive signals are filtered unless explicitly permitted and appropriate.
Users should be able to correct, suppress, or remove signals.
Product-specific profiles are not the same as full CanonIQ.

Allow users to export or carry approved parts of their CanonIQ profile across Lumenfolk products and future partner experiences.

Developers

Built for developers. Designed for product outcomes.

CanonIQ API gives your product context-specific profile intelligence that can be used by your recommendation engine, workflow, UI, ad system, or preferred LLM.

Privacy by design. CanonIQ does not expose the full person by default. Products request only the profile slices needed for the experience.

Ecosystem

CanonIQ powers the Lumenfolk prototype ecosystem.

The API is designed to provide identity-aware personalization across multiple product surfaces, from recommendations and commerce to career positioning and operating intelligence.

CanonIQ is the shared identity intelligence layer behind Lumenfolk's product prototypes. Each surface tests a different use case for the same underlying system: how profile slices, intent signals, values, decision style, context, and timing can make software more useful from the first interaction.

These prototypes are beta learning surfaces. They are examples of where CanonIQ can go once the shared backend and API layer are fully hardened.

Built around consent, scope, and sensitivity.

CanonIQ is designed around permissioned context. Products should receive only the context needed for the experience they are improving, and users should have ways to understand, correct, suppress, or remove what CanonIQ thinks it knows.

Consent-aware profile slices

Apps only see the profile slices a user explicitly approves for that experience.

Sensitivity labels

Signals can be labeled public, low, private, sensitive, or restricted — and filtered accordingly.

Product-specific scopes

Each product receives its own scoped slice. The full profile is never shared by default.

User correction controls

People can correct, suppress, or remove what CanonIQ thinks it knows at any time.

CanonIQ is not identity verification, biometric authentication, or a mental health diagnosis. It is a personal context and surface-personalization layer.
