Recently I attended a 1 day AGI House SF hack-a-thon focused on “tools for thought” and specifically how might we use AI to dramatically up-level tools for thought. We started at 11AM and pitched at 9PM (I met my team mate around 1PM and we sketched and brainstormed until about 5PM and then started coding.) Below is the pitch from that night (with a light bit of editing to add some full screen views that are a bit hard to see.
My team mate, Huanxing Chen who studied human science at Oxford and is now exploring a masters of science at Stanford focused on symbolic systems. He had a concept of exploring how to reduce design fixation as we explore an idea space. I brought my background on tools for thought and cognitive biases and ways of exploring collaborative ideation.
We “vibe coded” using Deepmind’s AIstudio and Bolt.new’s coding toolkit.
Here’s the super low fidelity prototype we built for the day.
It hints at various aspects of a real solutions though mostly just stubs to add real features (and likely needs the UX refactored).
