Receipts

An AI interviewer that turns a project conversation into interview flashcards, with supporting quotes kept separate from the written story.

Problem
Explaining a project in conversation can be easier than writing a case study. The details that matter in an interview, including personal ownership, decisions and results, can get lost in the retelling.
Product decision
Ask for the missing detail, keep the speaker’s evidence, and leave an unknown open rather than completing a more impressive story.
Approach
Receipts guides a written or voice interview and organizes the result into case-study sections. Its interview rules track answered questions, allow corrections and preserve exact supporting quotes alongside the synthesized narrative.

Evidence & scope

  • The prototype separates the written case, supporting quotes and original answer audio. These are different kinds of evidence about the same account.

    Implemented workflow
  • The public prototype is available. A complete browser voice interview and the usefulness of its generated flashcards still need validation; adoption results are not yet reported.

HomeLore

A voice-first family-memory prototype that keeps original words, generated narration and unknowns distinct.

Problem
Family stories and practical knowledge often live in conversation. Recording them is one step; finding the relevant detail later and knowing what was actually said are separate problems.
Product decision
A useful family archive should return to the speaker’s words and make missing information visible.
Approach
HomeLore explores recording Hindi and Hinglish conversations, finding details later and returning to old stories. It limits follow-up questions and keeps source quotes, generated narration and unanswered questions separate.

Evidence & scope

  • The source includes bounded interview follow-ups and separate displays for narration, source material and unknown information. Sample and live-provider modes are explicit.

    Implemented prototype
  • The prototype is documented, but I have not established how well the full voice flow works or whether families use it and return to it. Public examples should use fictional or consented material.

Paper IRL

Turns saved X bookmarks and linked articles into a finite, private edition that can be printed.

Problem
Saved reading grows into a queue that competes with feeds, tabs and interruptions. Saving expresses an intention that the reader may never return to.
Product decision
Give the reader a finite edition of what they saved, so there is an end to the reading session.
Approach
The prototype preserves selected source material and produces private HTML and PDF editions. The early selection follows the saved material rather than inventing a ranking score.

Evidence & scope

  • The recorded demo produced a PDF from explicit sample data and checked that access was scoped to the owner.

    Prototype records, August 2026
  • Whether readers finish more material, and whether paid printing and delivery work, remain unmeasured.
