honestly, kind of both. it started as a curiosity. I just wanted to see if it could even work. but after playing with it, I think there’s something deeper.

the most interesting part to me is the idea of apps that self-customize without being told to. they adapt based on how you use them and what you enter, not from settings or configuration. stuff that changes itself in real time, just by being used. we wouldn't build that kind of software today because it's too weird or specific. but with this, it just happens.

still super early and pretty rough, but it feels like a door opened a crack.

good question. I think it'll be self-reinforcing, since the context keeps growing with everything the software has done for you, along with every interaction you’ve ever had with it.

Totally agree. Persistence is a huge part of what we usually mean by state. Nothing stops this from plugging into a real database when needed. But also, nothing stops us from rethinking what a database even is, especially in a world where LLMs have growing context windows and can carry more state internally. Maybe persistence doesn’t always have to mean "write to disk."

I’m not sure I understand the distinction between persistence and memory

A good real world example might be a super specific tool that I want to make for my own use.
