Labs

Experiments and internal tools, available for tinkering.

Landing craft · Qwen-Image

One-off projects that run on the bench rather than graduating into a property of their own. When one stalls or closes out, it stays listed here too.

  • Compliance Checker

    lab · running

    We run axe and a vision model against a page together, then rank every accessibility barrier by severity, including the visual failures a DOM-only scan misses.

  • Heuristics Evaluator

    lab · running

    We hand it a screenshot and get a structured critique measured against more than 605 usability heuristics, each finding named with its framework, its severity, and a specific fix.

  • Conference Proposal Drafter

    lab · running

    We turn a rough talk idea into a full proposal grounded in the sources we would reach for by hand, then carry it into a slide outline, a draft article, and the questions to expect.

  • Bio Writer

    lab · running

    We hand it a speaker’s background and it drafts a conference bio at 100, 150, 200, 250, or 300 words, writing every length we ask for in a single run so we can read them side by side.

  • Books Query

    lab · running

    We point a question at the UX books we co-wrote, from A Project Guide to UX Design through Liftoff and Designing the Conversation, and get an answer back with the exact passages it drew from.

  • Synthetic Research Personas

    lab · demo

    We put one question to four people built from a project’s research, read each answer as it lands, and then look at where they agree and where they pull apart.

  • Sound Studio

    lab · running

    Say what you want to hear in a few words. The workshop writes a proper music recipe from it, shows you the recipe, and hands back a clip of eight, fifteen, or thirty seconds.

  • Image Studio

    lab · running

    Describe a picture and our own graphics card draws it, in about fifteen seconds. Six looks to choose from, and six starting points if the blank box is hard.

  • Contract Corpus

    lab · demo

    Ask a question of 55 federal contracting documents and get an answer back with the passages it drew from. Every document was generated for this demo. Nothing real went in.
