A modular, sophisticated coordination engine that helps you and AI improve every project and every process. Add ideas, run propagation, apply improvements across your entire workflow.
Created by David Edward Sproule and Cursor AI (Composer) — February 2026
Ecosystem: Integrates with Phyllux (biomimetic tech, ENGENICA), Content Studio, and the broader coordination ecosystem. Partnership inquiries welcome — affiliates, resellers, integrators. Mutual benefit.
- Main Memory — A single canonical store for ideas, epiphanies, lessons learned, and insights
- Improvement Propagation — Evaluates every idea against all your projects and applies improvements automatically
- Cross-project coordination — Keeps multiple projects aligned to your mission and helps learnings spread
- Self-improving system — The system improves itself and the process of improvement
- Voluntary — Optional. You decide. No compliance required.
- Transparent — Open source, open docs. Trust through transparency.
- Human-centered — Tools serve people. Improves you; doesn't control you.
- Free to leave — No lock-in. No cages. See Lessons from Systems Critique.
