Builds
Things that run.
A shelf of practical AI tools, reliability experiments, and creative technology. Start with TinyDesk for workflow design, human review, and evaluation. For workplace agents and employee coaching, see AI in practice →.
TinyDesk
A small help desk built around a queue of fictional Ashmere Press tickets. TinyTalk Assist summarizes the issue, suggests a category, points out missing information, and drafts an editable reply. The technician stays in control; nothing is saved automatically.
JavaScript front end, Python backend. Local Ollama by default, with cloud xAI Grok if you opt in. In a small 12-ticket evaluation scored for factual errors, repeated questions, and unsupported promises, low-reasoning Grok produced 10 drafts usable as written and 2 that needed edits.
Screenshot: real interface, fictional ticket. The assistant panel replays a recorded Grok result, not a live call.
Local AI · Memory
TinyTalk
TinyTalk started as a small local chatbot and turned into a test bed for a harder question: what should an assistant do when remembered facts change? Current profile facts, fact history, recent conversation, and source status stay separate so an old answer does not quietly become today’s truth.
Real session, run locally with Ollama (llama3.2:1b). Test facts only, shown verbatim and excerpted for length.
Agent systems
Cricket Mode
A portable behavior layer for AI coding agents: clamp the scope, challenge assumptions, prove the work with evidence, and clean up the residue. The same behavior contract is adapted across Codex, Cursor, and Antigravity.
A behavior contract, not an app — shown as a card rather than a screenshot.
Creative technology
Commit City
A year of GitHub contributions becomes a 3D city. Each day is a city lot, more activity means a taller building, and the original contribution history stays recognizable underneath the spectacle.
LoreMasterBot
A terminal World of Warcraft companion that looks up Blizzard’s structured data instead of relying on the model to remember game facts. Local and cloud models use the same tool loop, with tests around routing, tool-call history, and API failures.
Applied AI · Data visualization
Mutation Microscope
A genomic visualization workspace for exploring chromosome, region, and sequence views, comparing REF and ALT values, and tracing where the displayed information came from. Seven curated AlphaGenome examples clearly separate published values, reconstructed tracks, and illustrative controls.
