Research, writing and books, in one place

Read it. Move it.
Keep it.

Projects with their articles and papers, essays in series, and books where every number moves. Everything is open to read.

How reading works here

  1. Read anything, signed out. Nothing you read is kept; a page is only counted, with no cookie.
  2. Sign in and your place is kept, with five questions on what you read.
  3. What you finish comes back for recall: in 1, 2, 5, 11 and 24 days.

Research

Each project starts with an article and ends with a paper.

All research

hanumemAI proprietary

Long-term memory for an assistant. The highest published score on LoCoMo, 96.1, reading 1,533 tokens per question where the systems beside it read 6,700 to 45,800.

HanuDB open source

A document database for one small machine whose durable home is a bucket. Delete the machine and a new one rebuilds from the bucket alone.

Documents that cite themselves proprietary

Reads a form or a scan, points at the exact words for every value, and says which values a person must check. 97.53 ANLS on all 5,349 DocVQA validation questions.

HanuAnalytics open source

Product analytics and session replay on one free machine, with a bucket as its home. The machine is free, the storage is cents, and the data never leaves your project.

Think Like Me proprietary

A short voice interview becomes a twin that answers the way that person would, in their voice. Scored on questions the interview never asked.

Speak As Me proprietary

A short recording of a person becomes a voice that answers in their words while they are away. From a clean clip the voice is as close to the person as their own other recordings; from a poor one it gets about four fifths of the way.

Split-second decisions proprietary

A voice agent makes several small decisions in every turn of a call. Handed to a small decision model, about 39 in 40 came out right, each in under a quarter of the time allowed.

BigKids proprietary

A maths and English tutor for young children that reasons before it drills. In simulation, its lesson planner now gives a child a lesson they are not ready for about three quarters less often.
