The brief
I wanted one place to run all of my AI work: video, games, job hunting and archives. Most agent tools are chat windows or dashboards. I wanted something I would enjoy opening every day, that still runs on one home PC without slowing it down.
The map is the app
The Haven opens on the island. Each building is a department: click it and you are inside, with that department's agents, jobs and history in a side panel. Lit windows mean an agent is awake.
Inside the buildings
Every department has its own interior, with the agent at work and the tools for that job in the panel beside it.
A world that lives
The island is never still. Ships carry jobs between islands, E.V.E. flies between buildings, and a lighthouse and a counting house light up at night.
The cast
Each agent is a townsperson with its own sprite set: sleeping, thinking, working and stuck, so you can read the system's state at a glance.
How it works
- 1Event arrives
- 2Wake the one agent that owns it
- 3Plain code first
- 4AI only if real reasoning is needed
- 5Log the result
- 6Agent sleeps
The rule I wrote for it: “Wake only what is needed. Give it only what it needs. Let it work. Record what it did. Put it back to sleep.”
Decisions and trade-offs
- Dormant by default instead of always-on agents, so the PC stays usable while E.V.E. runs.
- A fixed constitution agents cannot override. No agent can make a financial transaction without my approval.
- Existing projects are read, never changed, before any agent is built on them.
- I split the media agent out into its own tool, to ship one useful piece first.
The 3D island on this site
For this portfolio I rebuilt the island in Blender, generated from the same map with Python: villagers on the paths, the serpent and the turtle from the map, a snow-capped mountain, and E.V.E.'s clock tower where the camera lands.
