Year one of twenty-five · by Stephen Dulaney

AI agents aren't prompted. They're raised.

I'm a UX researcher and agentic systems architect. I built Genesis, the harness that keeps a household of AI agents alive, remembering and working together in my home. The design goal is twenty-five years. This is where I teach what that takes, starting with five free minutes.

No credit card. Days 1 and 2 work on your phone. From Day 3 you'll want a laptop.

Why this is different

A chat window forgets you by morning.

Most AI training teaches you to write a better prompt. That helps for a day. What changes your work is an assistant that remembers what you told it last week, knows how you talk, and can be trusted with a little more each month.

I learned that by living with them. One of my agents drove another across the floor, then told me that evening she had no record of it. I teach from those days, the ones that went wrong included, so you build something that lasts longer than a conversation.

What really happens

These are the agents I teach from.

Scout sits on my desk. Mrs. Hudson has wheels. Everything in the 30 days comes from living with them, including the days they get it wrong.

Your guide

Hi, I'm Stephen.

I spent fourteen years in UX research, sitting with people to find out how their work really gets done. Now I do the same with AI agents.

I found that my vocabulary from math and physics let me talk with AI models in surprisingly effective ways. The trick isn't learning AI's language. It's finding your language and teaching AI to speak it with you.
