On the workbench

Active experiments

  1. Categories: AISoftwareIn progress

    AI Assistant

    An AI assistant experiment currently in progress.

    An experiment on the workbench. Scope, functionality and technical details will be documented when there is meaningful evidence to share.

    Status: In progress

    Write-up follows when there’s meaningful evidence to share.

How the lab works

From experiment to work

Not everything here is finished. Projects start as experiments and only move on when they hold up — keeping the same address the whole way.

  1. Experiment

    An idea tested in the open. It is allowed to be unfinished.

  2. Work

    Once it holds up, it moves into Work — at the same address.

  3. Case study

    Written up when the story is complete and the evidence is real.
