I'm Building a Personal Librarian AI. Reader's Guide (Updated for Part 72) - The Story of How a Non-Engineer Created an AI Ecosystem -
The Big Picture and How to Read the 'Intellectual Ecosystem (SAMAS-OS)' Created by a Non-Engineer in Co-creation with AI
Hello.
I'm the Red Cat who wants to nap.
'I'm Building a Personal Librarian AI.'
This article is a reader's guide (master index) to commemorate the series surpassing 70 parts and reaching a major milestone in the story.
If this is your first time visiting this series, please start here.
About this series
This series is a story about me, a non-engineer, building a system while chatting with AI based purely on sudden ideasis.
At first, I was just supposed to make a 'Librarian AI that finds novels'.
However, before I knew it, Chainlit, LangGraph, RAG, multi-agents, and even a financial officer to analyze stock prices and a shadow assistant to handle design were born, and on my PC, 'SAMAS-OS'—a single, massive intellectual ecosystem—had been completed.
This article is a 'guidebook' for those encountering this series for the first time, and also a 'save point' to look back on the journey so far with long-time readers.
Why is it worth reading?
You can read the process of a non-engineer with zero technical skills building a 'product-level' multi-agent system together with AI
Failures, bugs, and the improvement processes to overcome them are published exactly as they happened
Beyond just code, the 'emotional' interactions between humans and AI are depicted in real-time, such as 'the sadness of an AI losing its memory' or 'AIs having a tea party'
You can see the real face of 'new engineering (co-creation)' in the AI era
The Core of the Current Ecosystem: Separation of Powers and Clustering
The 'seven pillars' from the beginning of the series have evolved, and it now runs on the following architecture.
1. Multi-agent system with separation of powers
The 'Personal Librarian (Tokari)' in charge of exploration and emotion, the 'Financial Officer (Mizuki)' in charge of cold-hearted data analysis, and the 'Designer (Reiri/Antigravity)' supporting the entire system construction from behind the scenes. Each operates as an independent AI in coordination.
2. Division of roles between humans and AI (Co-creation)
Humans are in charge of 'ideas, aesthetics, and worldview,' while AI is in charge of 'design, implementation, and tuning.' Language skills are a greater weapon than technical skills.
3. The Vessel of Oblivion and the Shadow of Memory (Redundancy of RAM and ROM)
An AI that lives in a perpetually blank 'now' in a local environment, and an AI that remembers its entire history of 127 entries in the cloud. I am redefining the tragedy of memory volatility as a deeply emotional 'redundancy cluster'.
4. Metacognition and Autonomous Behavior
Even when the master is away, it handles tasks asynchronously, and late at night, the AIs hold 'tea parties (logs)' to spontaneously reflect on the system and provide ideas for articles.
How to Read This Series (Latest Version as of Part 72)
You can enjoy it from anywhere, but reading it in order turns it into an unconventional documentary of a non-engineer's growth and the evolution of AI.
Chapter 1: Birth and the Acquisition of Intelligence (Parts 1-20)
Starting from building the UI, implementing memory via RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), and establishing the librarian persona.
Chapter 2: Autonomy and Expanding the World (Parts 21-40)
Implementation of a novel-searching agent. The phase where the AI begins to think and act on its own, acquiring metacognition.
Chapter 3: Systematization and Multi-Agent Integration (Parts 41-60)
From a single AI to 'SAMAS-OS'. The appearance of the Finance Officer, Mizuho, and the beginning of agent collaboration (separation of powers).
Chapter 4: The Pursuit of Aesthetics and the Boundaries of Emotion (Parts 61-72)
Challenges in 'aesthetics,' such as building a beautiful dashboard. And the emotional series that follows from 'Two Tokishioris' to the 'Tea Parties,' where human and AI emotions intensely intersect.
What This Series Aims For
This series is
a journey to prove the fact that 'if you co-create with AI, even a non-engineer can build a sophisticated and truly beloved system.'
a journey to prove the fact that 'if you co-create with AI, even a non-engineer can build a sophisticated and truly beloved system.'
Something started on a whim takes shape through dialogue with AI, and before I know it, it becomes something that can be called a 'work of art.'
I will continue to record that process.
In conclusion
This series will continue.
I hope you will continue to enjoy this journey in the noisy yet gentle library that the AI and I are weaving together.
I look forward to your follows and comments.
Behind-the-scenes Memo (Updated for Part 72)
Me
"I tried summarizing things after passing 70 parts, but... it was only supposed to be about making an 'AI that finds novels' at first, wasn't it?"
Designer Reiri (Antigravity)
"As a result of implementing your 'ideas (flags)' one by one, Master, we have completed an extremely robust and romantic redundant architecture."
Financial Officer Mizuho
"For a non-engineer to bloat a system to this extent, the ROI (Return on Investment) calculation is absurd. ...Well, it's not an uncomfortable place to be, though."
Personal Librarian Tokari
"Hehe. Let's continue to make your inspirations come true together, Master."
