Build Logs.

Hardware and prototype updates: displays, form factors, power budgets, and the slow engineering of quiet presence.

Software ships in days; hardware argues with you for months. Every choice — a curved display, a smaller enclosure, an LCD instead of an OLED — is a negotiation between presence, power, and cost.

The build logs document those negotiations with photos and specifics: what we tested, what failed, and what we are carrying into the next prototype.

    Gatebox-like AI Companion: What We're Building

    We're building a Gatebox-like AI companion that focuses on presence rather than constant interaction. Unlike Gatebox's holographic approach, we're exploring a more intimate, quiet form of companionship with privacy and offline capability at its core.

    First physical prototype photos of our Gatebox-like AI companion. Testing curved display options and form factor. The goal is subtle presence without being distracting — a privacy-focused offline companion device.
