🧠 I Built a AI Assistant with Multi-Model Fallback, Voice Chat & a Personal Data Analyst — Here's How What happens when your AI goes down mid-conversation? You lose users. I built Hero's AI to make sure that never happens — and added a whole lot more along the way. Live Demo Have you ever used an AI tool that just... stopped working? Maybe it hit a quota limit, the API went down, or the mod
Today we're open-sourcing the AI Model Directory, the most comprehensive, automatically updated list of AI models and their metadata available today. It's the data layer that powers model selection in AgentOne, and now it's free for anyone to use, fork, or contribute to. If you'd rather just look at models, we also built a browser for the directory at models.agent-one.dev where you can search, sor
A College Project That Planted a Seed Years ago I was on a university team trying to build a Go AI. We explored monte carlo simulation for lookahead search, basic neural networks for pattern recognition, and expert systems for encoding domain knowledge. None of them worked well enough on their own. Go's branching factor is enormous, so brute-force search fails quickly. Neural networks without th
If you’ve been building with AI recently, you’ve probably seen these terms everywhere: AI Gateway. And depending on where you read, they either sound like the same thing… or completely different systems. Some vendors use them interchangeably. Others define only one and ignore the rest. And if you try to piece it together yourself, you end up with a vague understanding that doesn’t really help when
What if your Kubernetes cluster simply refused to run unsigned images? I spent some time experimenting with enforcing image provenance in a small Kubernetes setup using MicroK8s. The idea was simple: Only container images with valid cryptographic signatures are allowed to run in the cluster. For this I used: GitLab CI/CD (build + signing pipeline) Cosign / Sigstore (image signing) Kyverno (admissi
In an era where data privacy is often the price we pay for convenience, medical information remains the most sensitive frontier. When you upload a patient's transcript or a personal health log to a centralized API, you're essentially trusting a third party with your most intimate data. But what if the "brain" lived entirely within your browser? Today, we are diving deep into the world of Edge AI a
Self-attention already helps a transformer understand relationships between words using Query, Key, and Value. But there’s a problem. One attention mechanism usually ends up focusing on a limited kind of relationship at a time. Language doesn’t work like that. A sentence can have structure, meaning, and long-range links all at once. That’s why transformers use multi-head attention. Instead of doin
I keep seeing the same argument about AI making us dumber. It's the same argument people had about search engines, and before that books. The usual response is to point at history and say "every generation panics, every generation was wrong, relax." I think that response is half right, and the wrong half is what bothers me. Tools change what we bother to remember. The people who'd trained their wh
