xyz

Multi-AI collaboration in Slack

I wanted a workspace where I could collaborate with multiple models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok) and where conversations persist and are searchable. A bit over-engineered, but a cool concept nonetheless.

Voice-driven multi-perspective thinking

Synthesis

The pattern here is striking. The tensions lens landed emphatically, and you kept returning to the creative framing of possibility. Meanwhile, the emotional perspective felt off. There's something revealing in that contrast. The analytical case for stability didn't resonate as strongly as you might have expected. You're not actually weighing pros and cons. You're weighing versions of yourself. What emerged from the avoidance lens seems central. The familiar path isn't just comfortable. It's what you already know you can do. The question underneath the question might be whether you trust yourself to figure out what you don't know yet. The leap isn't really about the destination. What would it mean to choose based on who you want to become?

Drag or tap to flip

A guided, web-based version of the multiple perspectives approach behind xyz. Type a question, get probing questions from five perspectives, respond via voice or text, rate what resonates, then go deeper. It's more of an art project than a productivity tool, but I also added a "Product" mode that produces PRDs, pre-mortems, and project pitches to demonstrate how the multiple-perspective approach is useful there too. Creating a PRD with voice is pretty satisfying.

The Soundscape of This American Life

30 years of recurring music, visualized

I've been listening to This American Life for 15 years and always noticed they reuse the same music. I wanted to know: how often? Do the same clips show up in similar emotional contexts? This is a hobby project to explore that. Some clusters, like "The Rhythmic Pivot" (my own name), have appeared in episodes from 2001 to 2023.

Kaleidoscope

AI clipboard for Mac

I wanted to see if I could build a native Mac app using agentic coding tools. Most of what I see from vibe coding is web apps. Kaleidoscope is a Swift app that uses Apple's Foundation Models to transform clipboard content in various ways: reframing copied text, extracting full conversations from AI chat links, and reformatting content based on where you're pasting it.

Confirmation Bias

Measuring how LLMs double down

ExperimentResearch

A 2-minute interactive demonstration showing how a single committed token can create apparent "confidence" in an LLM, and how the model's own explanation can steer subsequent predictions. Uses real API calls with logprobs to measure probability shifts before and after commitment.
