Interfaces and systems,

The interesting frontier isn't a smarter chatbot — it's an assistant that accumulates context over months and years, the way a good colleague does. Memory is the moat.

The motion behind this page is a hand-written ripple interference — no libraries, a few hundred lines. Every visit regenerates a new one; this is #731. Nine engines in all — switch between them and read the code:

Jarvis

An agentic AI assistant with persistent, cross-session memory.

Most AI assistants forget you the moment a conversation ends. Jarvis doesn't. Its killer feature is durable memory — it remembers past conversations, decisions, and context across sessions, then recalls the right piece at the right moment. It's designed to be general enough that anyone can adapt it to their own work.

Try a demo — a lightweight, honest simulation. Not the real memory system (that's the actual work); it just answers from a short curated fact sheet to give a taste.

Hi! Quick disclaimer: I'm a stripped-down demo, not the real Jarvis — the actual memory system (the interesting part) isn't running here. But I can still tell you about Jordan's work, his background, and how this page is built. Ask away.
