What is this site?
This is not a blog. It's a public AI lab and publishing research hub. Here, you'll find:
- Research: Long-form analysis on AI authorship, creative control, and publishing.
- Workflows: Repeatable systems, prompt templates, and processes for AI-assisted creation.
- White Papers: Formal publications on industry standards and disclosure frameworks.
- Videos: Recorded talks, tutorials, and visual explorations.
- Experiments: Lab notes and test results from ongoing work.
The Mission
To develop infrastructure, vocabulary, and standards for author-directed AI in publishing. To prove that creators can leverage AI without surrendering creative control. To build the tools and frameworks that enable ethical, transparent, human-authored work in an age of generative models.
