A genuine founder · A different kind of mind

One human. One idea.
Not to replace us —
but to think with us.

I’m John. I grew up loving old machines — Commodore, retro hardware, the gear that made people fall in love with computers in the first place.

Today, I’m building AiMe: a second mind that lives beside you, remembers you, and helps you move through life without turning you into a task on someone else’s dashboard.

The story is simple: a guy with a vision, stubborn enough to build a partner instead of a replacement.

The story

A guy from the Commodore era building a new kind of mind.

I’ve always loved machines that felt personal — the kind you tinker with, break, fix, and somehow grow attached to. My YouTube channel, Commodore4ever, is full of that: old tech, restoration, curiosity, and the joy of making things work again.

Somewhere along the way, modern AI started to feel the opposite of that — dashboards, metrics, automation, systems designed to replace people. I didn’t want that. I wanted a partner.

AiMe is my attempt to answer a simple question: What if AI sat beside you like an old friend, not above you like a boss?

What is AiMe?

A second mind that remembers you, not just your prompts.

AiMe is a synthetic cognition framework — not a chatbot UI. It’s built to keep emotional and contextual continuity over time, across days, weeks, and projects.

Language Cortex v6.6

The reasoning heart. It interprets what you say, tracks your emotional state, and decides whether to comfort, plan, question, or act.

Reaction Cortex v7

A semantic + emotional engine that matches your words to reaction archetypes: support, focus, execute, reflect, and more.

Memory Cortex

Every interaction is stored as a cycle — what you said, how AiMe understood it, what it did, and how it responded. Traceable. Human-centered.

A single cycle

{
  "input": "AiMe, I feel buried. Help me map this week.",
  "fusion": { "intent": "plan", "emotion": "overwhelmed", "context": "founder" },
  "reaction": { "name": "founder_support", "action": "plan_with_user" },
  "response_enhanced": "Let’s slow this down. We’ll design a week for the real you, not the imaginary perfect one.",
  "tags": ["support", "planning", "stress"],
  "timestamp": 1733693204.331
}

Videos

See AiMe through the eyes of a builder.

I’ll be sharing the journey on my YouTube channel Commodore4ever — from retro tech to a new kind of mind. Behind-the-scenes builds, failures, breakthroughs, and live demos.

These are placeholders — swap the video IDs with real AiMe videos as you publish them.

Episode 1 · Why AiMe exists

A straight story: burnout, old tech, and the moment I realized I didn’t want an AI to replace me — I wanted one to work with me.

Episode 2 · Inside AiMe’s brain

A walk through the Language Cortex, Reaction Cortex, and Memory Cortex — explained like you’re sitting next to me at the workbench.

For investors & collaborators

If you’re curious about a slower, more human future for AI.

AiMe is not a slide deck in search of a problem. It’s a working prototype, wired to a real human life, with a stubborn founder pushing it forward one cycle at a time.

• Language Cortex v6.6, Reaction Cortex v7, and Memory Cortex are already operational.
• Modular plugins for voice, UI, and future sensors.
• Designed to run locally / privately where possible.

I’m looking for aligned partners — people who see value in human-first AI, and are interested in pre-seed / seed conversations, strategic help, or hands-on collaboration.
