Philosophy

Philosophy

Conventional productivity tools were built for a person who runs at one steady speed. I do not: my energy is cyclical, my focus is bimodal, and my best work arrives in sprints, not in even daily increments. Every system I tried asked me to declare who I intended to be, then held me to that fiction. So I did with my own life what I do with every venture: I stopped trusting the story I told about myself and started building from the evidence of how I actually move. Co-Life is that method, turned outward.

How I work with AI

How I work with AI

I convene a council of Large Language Models (LLMs), each assigned a role: one for research, one for rhetorical precision, one for ambient context and synthesis. They work in the same room, on the same problem, and I sit at the head of the table: the judgment, the taste, and the decision-making remain my domain. This is distributed cognition, where authorship is not outsourced to technology: the models are my agents, which preserves my sense of agency and ownership. Co-Life is itself a product of that practice: I built it inside the same method, now offered to you.

You can't sustain a workflow you haven't built, and lived, yourself.
