Local intelligent system at a workstation
Intelligence

Intelligence that understands people.

Aldamant explores artificial intelligence designed around memory, context, communication, perception and participation—systems that can build upon experience rather than treating every interaction as isolated.

Current development

The Alden Project

One intelligence project currently in development is Alden, an exploration of persistent artificial intelligence designed to preserve useful continuity while the technology underneath it evolves.

Alden learns more about the world by participating in it. The user benefits because Alden increasingly understands the world they share.

Remember

Long-term continuity and useful experience.

Perceive

Voice, vision and environmental context.

Communicate

Natural conversation and contextual two-way language translation.

Participate

Home, travel, shopping, projects and everyday life.

Everyday assistance

Be there when the question happens.

Imagine Alden helping remember what is running low at home while you are at the store, comparing products while you are looking at them, assisting with smart-home systems, or helping explain unfamiliar information without requiring you to reconstruct the entire context each time.

Alden goes where the context is instead of requiring the context to be brought to Alden.
Language

Communication in the moment.

Through personal audio, Alden could eventually hear another language, translate it for the user while the conversation is happening, and help translate the user's response back.

HEARUNDERSTANDTRANSLATERESPOND
He isn't simply translating words. The goal is for him to help you communicate within the context of the moment.
Safety & human authority

Capability with safeguards.

Alden is not being designed around unrestricted control. Capabilities can be limited, monitored, tested and expanded as they prove reliable. Learning from experience does not require giving an AI unrestricted permission to rewrite the safeguards governing the system.

Technology does not have to replace human independence. Used thoughtfully, it can help preserve it.

Already underway

We're building before the hardware arrives.

Development has already begun around continuity, safeguards, memory, controlled tool use and provider-independent design. The next major step requires dedicated local hardware to bring the pieces together.

Build & Prove

Help build Alden's first local proof of concept.

Support Alden

Contributions support development of the Alden Project and are not charitable donations or tax-deductible contributions.

The current goal supports dedicated local AI hardware, protected power, independent backup, initial voice and vision equipment, required accessories and a modest completion contingency.

Every contribution through this effort is dedicated to Alden. Support is now available through the secure Stripe contribution link above.
