NO AI NEEDED

Using these products does not require an AI.

AI OPTIONAL

Using these products can involve at least one optional feature that relies on some form of local machine learning; no data center involved.

AI PAYLOAD

This dependency is itself a trained machine-learning model or a packaged representation of one.

AI NATIVE

These products are designed to operate inside existing AI systems, specifically for the purposes of reducing one or more negative aspects of AI adoption: misuse, overuse, inference waste, and/or infrastructure bloat.

AI INVOLVED

These products were developed through a process in which TEKWITCH chose to incorporate at least one artistic or creative step powered by some form of machine learning.

OTHER DESTINATIONS

WAYHAND / SPECIFIC NEEDSBRING EVIDENCE OR RESOURCES

Some things need more than encouragement.

Wayhand is still a proposed system. Its next steps call for observations, introductions, equipment, storage, compute, and eventually people who can test a Seed. MEET WAYHAND →

START WITH WHAT YOU KNOW · FEEDBACK / INTRODUCTIONS

Offer a specific observation or introduction

Share a checkable contradiction, relevant research, or a contact who could supply a resource.
