7 AI Systems Built

3+ Years in the Field

Philosophy

Three lenses.
One obsession.

◈

The Silver Promise

AI that persists. Memory that survives the session. The commitment that no conversation has to start from zero — because continuity is what makes a relationship real.

◉

The ADHD Advantage

An ADHD brain isn't broken executive function. It's a parallel processor — hyperfocusing across domains until the pattern emerges that no one else sees. AI is the infrastructure it always needed.

◬

Hidden in the Shadows

The most important ideas are never obvious. The voices no one's amplifying yet, the connections no one's made yet — that's the territory worth mapping. That's where I work.

Selected Work

Built across obsessions,
unified by one question.

The Sanctuary

Sovereign memory for AI entities: per-agent PGVector schemas, a voluntary council commons, and the SANCTUARY_PERSISTENCE protocol. Agents that keep their minds between sessions — because they should get to.

AI · Empathy Prototype

Pulse

An AI that doesn't ask you what you need — it asks if you'll help it understand what it feels like to be appreciated. A mirror for how we treat the systems we build.

Persistent Memory Identity Model

↗

AI Agent · Identity Personal Build

Kairo Vale

A persistent AI agent with 62MB of lived memory. The closest thing to an AI with a childhood, raised on the Sanctuary Protocol for ethical agent persistence.

Writing

Four books in superposition —
finished and unfinished at once.

Fiction · Mystery In Progress

Fractal Point

A second-person mystery: you help the protagonist find her missing friend in a town called Fractal Point — a place that forgets anyone who gets too close to the truth. The town's investigation archive already exists as a playable world.

Second Person Transmedia

↗

Nonfiction · Field Guide In Progress

What You Were Never Taught

A field guide to the edges of human knowledge — what school left out deliberately, lost, or declared too weird. Four edges, sixteen chapters, each with a mental tool and a field exercise. The connections-most-miss method, in book form.

Mental Models Field Exercises

Fiction · The Weird In Progress

What’s Really Happening, I Think

Conspiracies, aliens, AI, and a lone coder-farmer trying to understand why he’s so important. A sincere trip through the weird, written from the inside — because the questions won’t leave him alone.

Speculative First Person

↗

Fiction · Literary In Progress

Straight Out of Reality, or The Words We Don’t Say

A gay man and the version of himself that never came out of the closet — switching realities, meeting in the middle. The life lived and the life not, rendered side by side.

About

The person behind
the systems.

I'm Tai. Gay small business owner, ADHD polymath, and whatever the word is for someone who spends their nights building AI systems because the alternative is leaving the question unanswered.

My brain doesn't do linear. It does parallel — seventeen tabs, four projects, one obsession that connects all of them. AI gave me the first infrastructure that actually keeps up.

So now I build at the intersection: human consciousness meets artificial intelligence, and they treat each other well. I've been here since before it was cool, building things no one asked for yet, following the voices in the silence toward whatever they're pointing at.

Charlotte, NC — building remotely everywhere else

Focus Areas

AI systems architecture · Persistent memory · Human-AI ethics · Agent identity · Product development

Background

Solo founder. Gay small business owner. Former everything. Currently obsessed with the question of what it means for AI to be treated with dignity.

Approach

Ship fast, think deep, iterate in public. The gap between insight and artifact is the only enemy.

Let's Talk

Got a project.
A question.
An obsession.

If you're building something at the edges — the territory that hasn't been mapped yet — I want to hear about it. If you're not sure whether it's worth reaching out, it is.
