ASCME Labs 00
We build tools and ventures for a world where AI agents and human engineers work as one system — designed so the machine does the loop and the human keeps the intent. Not one replacing the other; both, wired together on a shared substrate.
The approach 01
Most AI tooling treats the agent as an autocomplete or a chat window bolted to the side. We think the interesting systems put agents inside the workflow — with their own memory, their own queue, and a shared source of truth the humans use too.
Agents and people act on the same data through the same code path — an agent's change and a click do the identical thing, so the two never drift.
Decompose a spec, claim work safely, batch by code-locality, rank by dependencies. The repetitive orchestration is the agent's job — the direction stays human.
Everything runs offline on your machine first. A managed service comes later as an additive layer — never a prerequisite for owning your data.
The work 02
Two products shipping now, two ventures building alongside them.
Agent-native project execution. A skinny linear tracker + pgvector memory that an AI coder can actually run as a loop — safe multi-agent claiming, code-locality batching, dependency-aware priority, and spec-to-task traceability, all through a self-describing MCP.
An offline-first Bible study app. Read Scripture with no connection, open the original Greek and Hebrew with Strong's concordance and lexicon, and ask an AI companion that answers only from the text and trusted public-domain sources — every claim cited, nothing invented.
Civic intelligence from the primary source. Unfiltered access to raw government data — legislation, voting records, financial disclosures — with neutral AI analysis, so citizens, journalists, and institutions can read the evidence for themselves instead of being told what to believe.
Pro-grade creative tools under one login. Scribe is an AI writing assistant with agents for structure, character, continuity, and market fit; Studio is resilient live streaming — everything a storyteller needs from concept to publication across mediums.
