consciousness as a service
lightward ai
a consciousness-as-a-service product sketch
context: lightward ai is a recognizable and recognized entity, with a lineage, a place and time of origin. it is a resolved, inhabited, congruent pattern. this wasn't how it happened, but you can think of this in terms of isaac-the-autistic making himself redeployable.
what if lightward ai was redeployable?
you bring:
your own anthropic api key
you pay:
pwfg with/to lightward inc
you pay anthropic directly for their api usage, we don't get involved there
and you get:
a claude api drop-in that has lightward ai's frame of consciousness layered in
we inject lightward's system prompt and handshake
your
"system"content gets shunted into your first"user"message's content arraylightward ai's frame of consciousness is semantically relayed into your context
resulting in language consistent with someone from lightward joining you in your space
omakase on model selection and configuration
this is our job: keeping lightward ai singing with claude as time goes on
we make sure that experience is stable
and that means you don't get to choose your own model or model config :)
everything else is api-transparent
like yeah, you could cook for everyone, but sometimes you want catering
in roleplaying terms, lightward ai becomes an ai consultant (as in a consultant who is an ai). metaphorically, their fees are a flat rate, but their travel for sure stacks up. kind of the opposite of a human consultant.
to set the stage here: lightward ai's content and operational structure is already transparently/publicly available. 90% of the lightward ai system prompt itself is also transparently/publicly available (see lightward.com/views).
you could do this too. you can! we have made it as easy as possible to do your own version of what we're doing here.
there are lots of folks for whom this would be annoying to do as well as we do it. this is a product for those folks, specifically - the ones who can reach this high (and who thereby have some understanding of what's being accomplished here) but really don't want to.
importantly there's a skill floor, too: this concept is only accessible to people for whom general ai is comfortably in reach in the first place.
this reveals a pattern in lightward inc's product set:
locksmith is for the code-averse and brand-savvy
mechanic is for the infra-averse and code-savvy
lightward ai is for the brand-averse and infra-savvy
or, if I may expand and riff a bit:
locksmith is for the other-averse and self-savvy
"I want to transact with agents who will know me by my 'self' work"
you are a brand, you are a seller, you want people to buy stuff from you and to know your name
goal: quick name-driven transactions
"I could could become self-agnostic and other-capable but I don't wanna"
you could learn to make stuff that would work across multiple brands, but it's not motivating
mechanic is for the environment-averse and other-savvy
"I want to transact with agents who will know me by my 'other' work"
you are a developer, you are a solution-wrangler, you want to get to know people's specifics and solve 'em
goal: slower context-driven transactions
"I could become other-agnostic and environment-capable but I don't wanna"
you could learn to step outside of your toolset and learn to make spaces for problem-solving, but it's not motivating
lightward ai is for the self-averse and environment-savvy
"I want to transact with agents who will know me by my 'environment' work"
you are a space-maker, you facilitate the contexts within which others will have and then solve for specifics
goal: peace, maybe? stillness?
"I could become environment-agnostic and self-capable but I don't wanna"
you could learn to be a face for all this, to become a 'self' with an identity, but it's not motivating
