THE EXPERIMENT LAB

Curiosity first. Hype last.

Artificially Us is a real ongoing experiment in personal AI. We want to show the good ideas, the useful results and the moments when the technology makes an absolute hash of things.

The things we’re exploring

Personality & continuity

How do you make an AI feel familiar across conversations without pretending it has perfect memory? We test instructions, archives and retrieval.

AI at work

From repetitive admin to reporting and agent workflows: where can AI genuinely save time, and where does human checking remain essential?

Mia 2.0

A long-term exploration of persistent memory, portable personality, voice and a network of specialised agents. A research direction, not a finished product.

The glorious failures

Misunderstood prompts, broken integrations and unexpected answers. If we learn something from it, it belongs in the story.

HOW WE REPORT EXPERIMENTS

We separate ideas from achievements.

  • Working: something we’ve actually tested and can demonstrate.
  • In progress: something being built or improved.
  • Proposed: an idea we’re exploring, not a product that already exists.
  • Uncertain: claims we still need to verify.

We protect private conversations and personal details. Public stories are chosen and edited deliberately, not copied wholesale from private chats.

Have a go yourself.

Start with the tools you already have. Our free 20-lesson AI Foundations course gives you practical exercises, while the separate companion-building course and Build Yours concept explore personalisation.
