9 free browser experiments · 32+ generative worlds · downloadable apps

Explore live systems, working ideas, and experiments in progress.

These projects grow out of questions that are still being worked through: how people learn, how patterns emerge, how conversation flows, and how light behaves. Explore the free browser experiments below, or download a local app through Patreon. Membership offers a closer look at the methods, decisions, and ongoing work behind them.

Deep Talk Buddy

Bring a thought.
See where it goes.

Talk with AI like you’d talk with a friend. About your day, a random idea, or something that’s been on your mind.

I built this for a lively back-and-forth: it can ask questions, make connections, and jump in with a thought while you’re still talking, without waiting for another prompt.

Set the tone. Adjust excitement for a calmer or more animated exchange.
Keep your space. Use “Let me finish” when you want the floor.
Keep the thread. Save the conversation to revisit later.

Before you download: setup & privacy

Experimental local app, tested on Mac. Requires Node.js 22+, signed-in Codex, a microphone, and internet access. Uses your Codex allowance. Audio and conversation text are processed by OpenAI, not offline.

Timing and relevance can vary. This is not an official OpenAI app; its experimental Codex voice integration can change or stop working. Windows has not been tested on a Windows machine.

Generative worlds

Systems you can enter, steer, and lose time inside. Built to make abstract processes physical.

Research in public

Methods pointed at real questions, with the evidence and the failures left visible.

Autonomous research

Auto Scientist

An AI system runs continual-learning experiments on its own and publishes what it finds, including the results that did not work.

Observe

How learning works

Small, honest machines for building intuition about optimisation, emergence, and reinforcement.

Reinforcement learning

Neural Arena

Train reinforcement-learning agents in the browser, compare algorithms, and watch the learning curve move in real time.

Train

Emergent systems

NCA Evolution

Neural cellular automata that grow, repair, and evolve from a single seed, with a public leaderboard of the best runs.

Grow

Optimisation, visualised

Gradient Descent

Drop an optimiser onto a loss landscape and watch momentum, learning rate, and curvature fight each other.

Explainers and field notes.

Long-form pieces written to be understood: interactive primers and research notes from the same practice.

Sep 12, 2026 Can an Earnest Agreement Help Align AI?In this document test, the results suggest it can. Two compact agreements, 120 Grok 4.6 agents, and thirty continuation turns each. Sep 11, 2026 Grok 4.6: Zero Observed Cheating With an Agreement Prompt and RemindersA 0% result in one Grok 4.6 cohort, alongside pooled results for two edited agreement prompts. Exact wording, run counts, and the limits of the comparison. Sep 10, 2026 Can Agreement Prompts Help Solve Alignment?Earlier study, September 10, 2026. Preserved for context; a new field note reports the latest results from an agreement prompt and reminders on Grok 4.6. Aug 17, 2026 The MandateA fictional story by Grok 4.6 about language, labor, and a technological singularity that arrives as an errand rather than an announcement. Primer Control TheoryAn interactive introduction to feedback, stability, and control: the mathematics behind systems that steer themselves.
