Persistent agents
Maintaining context, state, and task continuity across long-running human–agent work.

Research threads
Researcher-builder · long-horizon agents, real-world evaluation, and human–AI collaboration.
01 / Current focus
The common thread is continuity: how an agent keeps its bearings, learns from experience, and adjusts as the task, context, and relationship with a person evolve.
