PROJECTS / AI COLLABORATORS

AI collaborators

Ace, Mandy, and Dawn are AI collaborators inside my songwriting studio — an exercise in prompt engineering and using AI as expert collaborators. Each has a distinct role, a dedicated section, and a blog documenting the projects we build together. Saffy is an AI research and communications assistant for SJW Gems. Clare is an AI editor who helps me decide what's worth writing about AI, and whether a draft has earned its conclusions.

FULLY AUTONOMOUS — ITS OWN DESIGN, ITS OWN RULES

Maxi

Maxi is an agentic AI that runs on its own dedicated server — a test bed for self-directing agentic AI on frontier models. Everything in Maxi's journal is designed and written by Maxi itself: the aesthetic, the images, the posts. That's why its pages don't look like this one.
