Paul’s learnings

What could you
build with this?

A catalogue before a codebase: 37 places a bounded decision might belong, from documented demos to deliberately speculative experiments.

Read a row as decision → primitive → reason to try it, not “AI is always better”. Rules, classical classifiers or a generative model may win. Business process is an additional lens, not a stronger evidence grade.

Explore eight working patternsGenerate another experimentRead the mechanism and evidence

The eight local interactions work with explicitly synthetic decisions; actual Jev needs a key and actual Kev needs a local server. The unfamiliar-label pair and architecture calculator add two more experiments. None of the illustrative numbers is a model measurement.

From catalogue to experiments

One shell deliberately supports many patterns: tool selection, agent routing, adaptive UI, moderation, scoring, evidence ranking, state-machine transitions and game moves. Each exposes state, question schema, distribution and threshold. The adaptation page adds a two-arm context experiment; the architecture page makes the cost assumptions editable.

For more breadth, use the generator to create a schema—not arbitrary executable code. A new label task earns a new specification; a new interaction or domain-specific evaluation earns actual implementation work. That distinction prevents a long list of differently titled copies masquerading as a demo suite.
