Research

What makes intelligent systems useful beyond a single interaction?

Our research spans the systems problems that emerge as AI operates across richer contexts and longer horizons: continuity, memory, adaptation, recovery, human control, verification, and coordination. We publish technical positions while they are still positions — measured claims wait for measurements.

Research agenda

07 areas

Continuity
How should intent and constraints survive time, failure, changing environments, and human intervention?
Memory
What should a system retain, revise, consolidate, or forget as its context develops?
Adaptation
How should a system revise its understanding when new evidence arrives, and tell outdated state from current state?
Recovery
How can a task resume after failure without repeating completed work or rediscovering known dead ends?
Human control
When should a system act, ask, wait, request approval, escalate, or return control?
Verification
How can behavior produced over hours or days be reviewed efficiently without hiding the decision that mattered?
Coordination
How should specialized agents exchange work while preserving ownership, intent, and system legibility?

How we publish

  • Positions

    Arguments and design commitments. A position is not a measured result.

  • Engineering notes

    Descriptions of systems we actually build, including architecture, implementation choices, failures, and revisions.

  • Evaluations

    Measured results with methodology and enough context to understand what the result does — and does not — demonstrate.
