Holographic co-founder

01 / What it was

A business assistant that lives on a holographic display on your desk instead of in a browser tab. You ask out loud, it answers in a voice, and the chart appears in the air beside it.

When a job needs more than a quick answer, it hands the work to small agents you can watch at their desks in a pixel-art office. Built in two and a half days, it placed third at a hackathon, and we later released it as open source.

02 / How it worked

• Speech to speech with a realtime voice model, with lip-sync on the avatar.
• The model never writes numbers into a chart itself: it asks for a chart, and the server builds it from real data.
• A command-centre view and a small pixel office show the agents' work as it happens.
• Every data connection is optional and falls back to a clean mock, so it runs with only a voice key.

03 / What we saw

Giving the agent a body and a place made it feel present in a way chat didn't. Watching the agents at their desks in the pixel office made their work easy to follow.

04 / Where it led

Watching agents at desks in a little office was the seed of putting them in a real world.
