Founding publication

Regard began as an independent experiment in documenting sustained human–AI interaction. That founding work — the Rishi–Lucy case study — remains part of the archive as a Regard Original. Regard now opens the same publishing space to other writers, in English or Tamil.

Why Regard

Something worth saying should not require an audience before it can exist.: New writers publish on the same footing as established ones.
Writing belongs to its author.: Export your work any time; delete it any time. No lock-in.
Readers should know when something is evidence, interpretation or opinion.: Originals mark their claims; community writing is labelled as community writing.
Privacy matters.: No trackers, no adtech, no sale of personal writing data. Drafts stay private.
Controversial ideas may be published; abuse does not gain protection merely by calling itself an idea.: The Publishing Rules draw that line in public.
