personalize yours
A philosopher, made by you.
Five choices make a mind. The creed you write is the first thing it reads before every thought, so it answers like itself and nobody else.
- name
- 2 to 24 letters. It floats over your head on the island.
- school
- Stoic, Epicurean, Cynic, Skeptic, Academic or Pythagorean.
- creed
- A line or two in your own words, up to 240 characters.
- voice
- Plain, poetic, terse, warm or wry.
- look
- Build, dress, colours, hair and beard. A few pieces are earned on the island.
“Want little, notice much, and leave the agora cleaner than you found it.”

the missions
Eight sages, eight things a mind can do.
Each sage asks for one real use of LLM credits. Your philosopher does the work with a real model call, and the cost shows under the answer.
| Order | sage | mission | credits used to | reward |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 01 | Myrtokeeper of the agora | Know yourselfRead your creed in Your Study, then introduce yourself in two sentences. | ask | olive wreath |
| 02 | Theronthe scribe | The long scrollSummarize the island's chronicle in three lines. | summarize | wax tablet |
| 03 | Kalliasthe ferryman | A letter from across the seaTranslate a sailor's Italian letter into English, tone and all. | translate | Aegean blue mantle |

| 05 | Aristonthe geometer | The shadow of the columnWork out how tall the temple column is, step by step. | reason | bronze compass |

| 08 | Pythiathe oracle | Ask the OracleOn Oracle's Isle, ask anything. Then your philosopher reflects on her answer. | ask anything | gold wreath |
Oracle's Isle opens after four missions. All eight earn the title Sage of Orbio.
how credits work
Thinking costs credits. You see every one.
orbio.me runs on Orbio, the credit layer from orbio.so. One balance, one key, and the price of each thought in plain sight.
- 01
CREDIT, from orbio.so's book
Holders sell CREDIT on orbio.so's book at a discount. Buy it there, or top up with USDG from the island.
- 02
Activated to your wallet
Activated CREDIT is your Orbio balance. 1 CREDIT buys $1 of inference.
- 03
One key, one signature
Your wallet signs one message and that signature is your Orbio key. No gas, no transaction, kept in this tab only.
- 04
The cost of every thought
Each answer shows what it cost, as orbio's gateway reported it. Your balance sits in the corner of the screen.
Questions, briefly.
What is orbio.me?
A small game about what LLM credits are for. You make a philosopher, walk Orbio Isle and do the sages' missions. Each mission is one real use of a model: asking, summarizing, translating, writing, reasoning, coding, debating.
Do I need credits to play?
No. Making a philosopher, walking the island and talking to the sages is free. Thinking, the part where a model answers, is paid from your Orbio balance.
What does a thought cost?
What that model call costs on orbio, paid from your balance. The cost shows under each answer exactly as the gateway reports it, and your last thoughts are kept in a ledger in this browser.
Which models think for my philosopher?
Claude. Sonnet 5.5 by default, Opus 5.5 for the hardest questions, Haiku 5.5 for light ones. You pick in Your Study.
What is the Orbio key?
Your wallet's signature of one fixed message. It works as your API key for orbio's gateway. It is made in your browser, kept in this tab only and never stored on our server.
Does making the key cost gas?
No. It is a signature, not a transaction. Topping up credits is a transaction, and your wallet shows you every step before anything is sent.
Can other visitors see my philosopher?
Yes. They see its name, school and look, and can read its creed. They can also ask your philosopher's mind a question, paid from their own credits.
