All projects

Live

Second brain, shared brain builder and memory layer for AI agents. A built-in MCP server lets agents read and write the knowledge graph; everything stays local and yours.

  • Local-first, plain Markdown
  • Shared Brain for teams
  • Memory for AI agents

How it works in 3 steps

  1. Your notes and sources become a local, private knowledge graph in plain Markdown.
  2. A built-in MCP server lets your AI agents read and write that graph during live sessions.
  3. Shared Brain merges attributed contributions from a team into one collective wiki.

Get started. Download the Mac app from mycurator.xyz. On Windows and Linux, run the local server and open it in your browser. You bring your own API key.

Lumina

Live

A service agent for European enterprises. It answers your users and visitors in chat, on your website, Telegram, Discord and WhatsApp.

  • EU data residency
  • Website · Telegram · Discord · WhatsApp
  • Human takeover

How it works in 3 steps

  1. Upload your documents once.
  2. Lumina answers customers 24/7 in your own voice, grounded in that material, with the whole knowledge base in view.
  3. When a person should step in, it hands the conversation over and alerts you by email.

Try it. The assistant on this site is Lumina. Open luminawidget.xyz for pricing and compliance documents, or the docs to set up your own.

Conduit and Atlas

Live

Open framework for governed personal AI agents. Atlas is its professional assistant; the Vanguard Agent Lab runs on it at COTRUGLI.

  • Atlas: minutes, briefs, contract extraction
  • Asks before it sends, pays or deletes
  • Apache 2.0
Build your own agent with opencodeConduit runs on opencode, which is free, open source and works with local models. Paste the prompts from the README and the agent sets itself up.

How it works in 3 steps

  1. Paste the setup prompt into opencode or Claude Code.
  2. The agent installs its own tools and writes its own configuration. No code, no terminal.
  3. One AGENTS.md file is its mandate: what is allowed, forbidden, or needs your approval.

Get started. Open the README on GitHub and paste the setup prompt into your agent.

ØØT · Organisation of Tomorrow

Gen 1

Operating system for partner-run, AI-augmented organisations.

  • 8 layers · 12 Skill Packs
  • Apache 2.0 code · CC BY-SA 4.0 docs

What Gen 1 contains

  1. An eight-layer architecture and 12 Skill Packs.
  2. Excel templates and scheduled routines.
  3. Governance with EU AI Act mapping and reference organisations, in three tracks: cloud, privacy and community.

Get started. Gen 1 installs in 60 to 90 minutes with a coding agent.

Context is the code.

A session start

What your agent sees when a session starts.

Three layers fill the window before the first prompt: documents, memory and knowledge. Your tool takes its own share.

The library

Every business I built started with a technology bet.

Digital recording in 1997. Search engine optimisation in 2003, before search was a channel. Content that adds value, blockchain from 2016, and now AI agents. Thirty years, running in parallel.
