Where ideas get potted

Small experiments in the open β€” built to show, not just tell. Sprout, my digital twin, floats in the bottom corner β€” tap the 🌱 to ask an AI version of me anything about my work. On the bench: the Writing Bed, which answers only from my posts, and Scout, an agent that ventures out to arXiv and Wikipedia. All three run on one tiny LangChain potting shed on Cloud Run.

The Writing Bed answers grown from Usama's posts

Answers come only from the posts on /writing/ β€” with receipts.

Scout forages arXiv & Wikipedia β€” with receipts

A live agent loop β€” so it's capped at 2 questions a day. Every answer cites what it actually read.

Let's grow something together.

Consulting, teaching, speaking, or a product idea that needs an AI brain β€” my inbox is open.
