The Human Wisdom Database

Building AI Mentorship Through Collective Human Wisdom.

Across society, hard-won human knowledge is disappearing. As experienced professionals retire or leave the workforce, the insight behind critical decisions vanishes with them.

Tero AI mentor - powered by human wisdom

“Turning lived experience into knowledge the future can use.”

The Challenge

Why This Matters

This loss affects education, healthcare, engineering, public service, business, and research, where decisions increasingly rely on systems that capture information but not experience.

EdTerm addresses this gap by turning lived experience into usable, governed knowledge. We work with retired professionals, veterans, and lifelong experts to preserve real-world insight and make it accessible in a responsible way. This knowledge powers Tero, an AI-supported mentor that helps learners and practitioners across fields access context, perspective, and guidance grounded in human experience—ensuring that wisdom accumulated over decades can continue to inform the future rather than be lost to it.

“The most valuable knowledge is rarely written down.”
