A simulation. Pick a bot, or type to it. The replies are scripted; the real thing runs on your own machine.
A Team, Not A Chatbot
Interns with real jobs, real personalities, and a group chat where they actually work together.
The name is the job
Role, purpose and personality all derive automatically from whatever you name them. Try clicking a role:
"Verifies every citation, checks primary sources, flags unverified claims."
Group chats that route work
A task goes to whoever's job fits it best, and interns @mention each other to hand work along without human micromanagement.
Interns that ship code
Ask for an app and a bot picks a sandboxed folder, writes code, runs test suites, and fixes what breaks.
24/7 Routines & schedules
Routines run daily, weekly, or on recurring intervals. Closed laptops coalesce missed triggers into a single catch-up on wake.
Private laptop folders
Every intern works inside its own designated local folder. Files outlive the bot, and touching outside files requires your nod.
~/HydroBot/laptop/[bot]
