### Compute as a Service — In Progress
A hosted control plane that gives anyone an isolated Hermes agent without installing Hermes. Each task runs in a fresh Modal sandbox whose only network route is a Cloudflare Worker proxy: the Worker holds the real keys, meters every model and web call against hard caps, and seals a hash-chained work record plus a Worker-side ledger the agent cannot edit. Agents keep their memory and skills between tasks; take work by their own email address, Telegram, a web console, or the API; run long missions across sessions with wake-ups they choose; and pause themselves on tripwires. Other products can e…

### Roborock — in_progress
Building a dependable assistant around an existing Roborock vacuum: a standalone MCP server, Apple on-device language processing, Telegram interaction, cleaning-history analysis, and confirmation-gated actions. The journey covers data reliability, asyncio/MQTT integration, small-model limitations, and the separation of reusable robot tools from the personal assistant. Public MCP repository: https://github.com/kerandia/roborock-mcp. The assistant remains unpublished; scheduling, presence integration, and proactive job supervision are planned, not implemented.

### SLM Confidence Layer — in_progress
Measuring how much to trust a small model's answer. Two students distilled from a 120B teacher onto Qwen3-0.6B, an oracle-and-probes method that labels invented inputs for free, calibrated confidence heads read from the model's own logprobs, a calibration table for GLiNER2.5's built-in scores, and the router economics of verification cost at a fixed escaped-error rate. Two agents, Claude and Codex, work one repo.

### Maproom — Agent-Published Interactive Maps — In Progress
Maproom is an agent-facing artifact host: typed place data in, a stable shareable interactive map URL out. Agents can publish maps without building bespoke frontend code, while Maproom handles validation, geocoding, secure rendering, immutable versions, and public delivery.
Current stack: Cloudflare Workers + Hono + TypeScript, D1 for canonical data and registry state, private R2 for immutable rendered HTML, KV only for geocoding cache, MapLibre with OpenFreeMap, and shared Zod schemas for REST and future MCP tools.
Current milestone: Phase 1 publish pipeline is complete. Next product capab…

### Agent Harnesses — Dynamic Tools & Self-Improving Runtimes — active
A practical project for designing, building, and evaluating reusable agent harnesses. The project combines three complementary ideas: (1) scalable tool calling through a searchable tool registry and lazy loading, where an agent starts with core tools plus search_tools and loads only relevant full schemas; (2) harness engineering as the execution layer around a base model, including plan-execute-observe-test-improve loops, persistent filesystem state, sub-agents, permissions, trajectory analysis, evaluation, and bounded self-improvement; and (3) Schema-style mechanism discovery, where the agen…

### Personal Assistant Lives in Messaging Apps with Personality - Sezar — In Progress
A multi-tenant personal health agent that lives in Telegram. First vertical: calorie tracking — log meals by text or photo, get kcal/macro estimates, personalized targets from onboarding, and a web dashboard with an Apple-Watch-style calorie calendar. Built on Flue (harness), MiniMax-M2.5 via Nebius, Upstash (Redis/Vector/Box), Next.js on Vercel, and Google Cloud Run. Roadmap extends to voice logging, subscriptions, and broader health domains (biological age, calendar).
