FAQ
What is Attendemia in one sentence?
Attendemia is a lifeboat in the AI-era information ocean: a platform for discovering, discussing, and prioritizing high-signal knowledge with measurable attention ROI.
With AI driving the cost of content creation to zero, human attention is the only remaining scarce resource. Attendemia was built specifically to protect your attention budget by filtering out noise.
How is Attendemia different from generic content platforms?
Attendemia combines curated discovery, review-backed ranking, shared reading lists, and an attention checkout pipeline so people can choose better what to read next.
Generic platforms optimize for time spent scrolling. We optimize for signal extracted per minute. The checkout pipeline forces deliberate reading decisions, treating your attention as a currency.
Who is Attendemia built for?
Attendemia is built for learners, experts, authors, and research teams who need faster signal extraction and stronger community-driven evaluation.
Whether you are a solo learner trying to stay current, an expert curating a field, or a research team syncing your knowledge acquisition, our tools provide a structured way to handle information velocity.
What are Awesome Lists?
Awesome Lists are expert-curated, auto-refreshed reading lists for specific research topics. Each list aggregates content from configured sources, applies community-driven ranking, and lets users follow to receive updates.
We built Awesome Lists because manual topic monitoring does not scale. They serve as automated, high-quality streams for any given niche, maintained by the community's most trusted voices.
What are Research Atlas and organization pages?
Research Atlas is a public map of top entities by research area, while organization pages (for example, /team/public/{slug}) are public homes where labs and teams present their profile, key publications, and updates.
They provide a top-down view of an academic or technical field. You can find out who the major players are, inspect their output natively on their public pages, and follow them for new paper releases.
How does auto crawling improve discovery?
Auto crawling periodically refreshes configured organization sources so users can find newly published materials without manually checking multiple sites.
This automation removes the friction of tracking dozens of separate lab blogs and preprint server author pages. If it's published by an entity you track, the crawler brings it into your unified Attendemia feed.
How does Team Pro work for shared workspaces?
Team watchlists, team notes, and team reading collections are unlocked by Team Pro on that workspace. The owner sets purchased seats (up to 20), can buy seats before adding members, and can reuse freed seats after removals; personal Pro alone does not unlock team-scoped features in a free workspace.
We designed Team Pro to act as a shared brain for research groups. By unifying the discovery layer, labs can prevent duplicate reading work and align their collective attention budget on the highest-priority papers.
Is Attendemia free?
Yes! The majority of features—such as following, commenting, and checkouts—are free forever. We offer paid tiers for advanced users and organizations to help cover our operational costs.
Our goal is to maximize human connection and shared knowledge. Core discovery and discussion features will never be paywalled.
How do I report abuse or spam?
Please report any abusive, spammy, or fraudulent behavior to abuse@attendemia.com so our team can review and take action.
We are committed to maintaining a high-signal, human-centric platform free of automated spam.
Our Core Values
The principles guiding Attendemia's development.
| Icon | Value | Implementation |
|---|---|---|
| 🎯 | Attention is sacred | Attention is the new money. We design for clarity over compulsion and measure success by signal gained per minute, not minutes captured. |
| 🤝 | Human connection beats isolated intelligence | AI can generate content; only people can build shared meaning. We prioritize conversation, critique, mentorship, and community judgment. |
| 🏅 | Earned trust, not assumed authority | Trust is not a badge; it is an outcome. We prefer open methods, transparent revision history, and accountable identities. |
| 🔄 | Truth improves through iteration | We celebrate updates. Knowledge is a versioned artifact, not a static post. We make it easy to revise, compare, and learn from change. |
| 📡 | Signal over noise | We compress complexity into usable signal: ranking that reflects time, relevance, and community confidence, without hiding dissent. |
| ⚖️ | Incentives aligned with integrity | We reward behaviors that improve collective understanding: high-quality reviews, helpful summaries, respectful debate, and thoughtful curation. |
| 🧠 | Tools should amplify judgment, not replace it | AI should clarify context, map arguments, and surface counterpoints while keeping human evaluation at the center. |
| 🌐 | Openness with responsibility | We support openness, reproducibility, and accessibility while protecting communities from manipulation with principled safeguards. |
| 🧭 | Curiosity with rigor | We stay open to new ideas while holding them to high standards: evidence, clarity, and honest debate. |
