Sam
Most tools give you one more thing to keep track of. Sam is meant to do the opposite: remember your life in your own words, connect what you haven’t, and leave you carrying less after every conversation.

Sketching a desktop Sam. Not promising anything yet.
Making every Sam reply cheaper without making it any less smart.
Wrote a whole fictional life, 400 notes deep, to test whether Sam really remembers.
What Sam taught me
All findings →↑ A good eval suite is one that passes.
↓ A suite that passes everything taught me nothing. I build evals to watch Sam fail.
Margin · a few lines →↑ Sam's long conversations were cached. Each new message only paid for what was new.
↓ They never were. Every message paid for the whole conversation again.
Report · 2 min →↑ If Sam can read a shared note, it understands it.
↓ Words written as "I" and "me" belong to whoever wrote them. Without being told who, Sam put them in the wrong person's mouth.
