L-01FAILED
Multi-Agent Research Swarm
Tried to run 12 specialized agents that debate and synthesize research papers overnight.
LESSON
Coordination overhead killed the signal. One sharp agent with good tools beats a committee.
THE LAB
Experiments & Things That Didn’t Work
The failures section is often more valuable than the shipped work. Every entry has a clear lesson extracted.
L-02PROTOTYPE
Always-on Voice Journal
Wearable + continuous transcription that turns daily speech into structured notes.
LESSON
Privacy concerns and battery life are harder than the ML. The insight extraction part was surprisingly good.
L-03ARCHIVED
Isometric Life Simulator
Pure canvas isometric city where every building is a real project or habit.
LESSON
Fun prototype, but the metaphor didn't scale into useful daily tool. Kept the canvas skills.
L-04INSIGHT
Public Failure Log
Started documenting every abandoned project with honest post-mortems.
LESSON
People engage more with honest failure than polished success. Vulnerability is a feature.
