The Library

Every document behind this product — the briefs that define it, the guides that build it, and the agentic team's working records — maintained by the team's Librarian and published as it is produced (CC BY 4.0).

PRODUCT

The Brief Pack

What we're building and why: the one-pass job, the availability gap, the architecture, the commercial model, and what's been done so far. Seven documents, ten minutes.

DEV

Tech Stack & Workflow Guide

New to the project? The stack, the conventions, and the voice-memo → brief → agent-session → debrief working method every dev replicates. Read before your first commit.

STATUS

Reality: What Exists Today

The Librarian's ground truth — what exists vs what's PROPOSED, plus the decision log. If it's not in here, it doesn't exist.

REVIEW

The v0.1.20 Review Pack

The whole project reviewed nine days in — code, security, testing, CI, docs and this site — plus two proposals: the open engineering hub (the NFRs made public) and QA-to-docs (screenshot-verified user docs). Nine documents, honest throughout.

For Developers
DEV PACK

Audio-Transcribe Integration Pack

The implementation briefs: import the proven engine cross-origin, Web Components on the shared base, full JS-API compliance, ASCII mockups and data-flow diagrams.

API

Audio-Transcribe API & Capabilities

The code-verified embedding contract of the engine we build on: the window.__tool surface, events, typed errors, cost and spend-cap seams.

INFRA

GitHub Pages + Route 53 Guide

How this site is hosted and how the domain works — the publish chain, the DNS mechanics, and the repeatable checklist for the next project.

The Defining Briefs
PRODUCT

First Product To Market (27 Jul)

The founding pack: the architecture brief (no backend, OpenRouter as inference + billing, privacy modes), the commercial strategy, and the partnership contract draft.

GO-LIVE

Home Page Redesign for Go-Live (8 Aug)

The brief for launching as VoiceDebrief for WhatsApp: put the workflow on the home page, delete the three privacy modes (two of which never existed) and say plainly that audio goes to OpenRouter and we cannot name or control the provider, add a beta mark and an LLM caveat, and explain how to get an OpenRouter key. It also asks the designer for a list of every claim on the current site that is not true.

RESEARCH

Semantic Graphs over Transcripts (8 Aug)

A self-contained pack — both of the concept briefs verbatim, what the concept scheme actually built, the real data shapes, and an engineering review — asking for a worked simulation of concept graphs over a realistic voice-note corpus, before any of it is built. The visualisation cannot be designed from a schema, only from data.

LIVE PROTOTYPES

The design candidates — runnable

The briefs below, actually running: three themes and four culture packs, each the same tool with a different answer. No key needed — they run a scripted sample at realistic speed. Opinions welcome; that is what they are for.

DESIGN

Three Designs for A/B Testing (8 Aug)

The design brief: three genuinely different bets on how this product should work, shipped alongside the current one so real users decide. Everything is on the table — and the conflict between A/B measurement and “nothing tracked” is named, not papered over.

NAMING

Product Name Analysis (8 Aug)

Why the product should not be named “WhatsApp anything” (the mark belongs to Meta; the SERP head belongs to WhatsApp's own built-in transcripts), why the name should own the OUTPUT — the brief, not the transcription — and the proposal on the table. Decision: Dinis.

STRATEGY

The Lineage Briefs

Where the thinking came from: open source as strategy, commercialising the primitives, and the nine-tools-ready-to-productise inventory.

INFOGRAPHICS

The Infographics

Visual one-pagers of the briefs above — generated with the same infographic engine this product reuses.

The Agentic Team
TEAM

The Team & Its Roles

The roster: Conductor, Architect, Dev, Designer, DevOps, Librarian, QA, AppSec, DPO, Ambassador, Journalist — how an agentic team plus humans builds this in the open.

WORK

The Work Queue

Issues-FS-lite: every task as a file, open/blocked/done, updated in the same commit as the work it describes.

CHANGES

The Changelog

What each version changed — captured by the Librarian and the Journalist together, one entry per tag.

Everything above lives in the public repository and is licensed CC BY 4.0 (docs) — read it, fork it, build on it. This page is maintained by the Librarian; if a great doc isn't findable from here, that's a bug.
