Deep Research without Deep Pockets. When "Deep Research" landed in the premium AI tools, I was curious: what is this, actually? So I pulled it apart. And once I understood the architecture, I realised I'd already built most of it. DoomSummarizer leverages a…
A glyph-based terminal renderer using shape-matching algorithms. Supports images, animated GIFs, videos, YouTube playback, and live subtitles with multiple render modes including Braille for maximum detail. NuGet License: Unlicense GitHub Releases The goal is…
NuGet NuGet Downloads GitHub Release (CLI) As I've been building lucidRAG I'm reading social media where people keep asking the same thing. 'How do you get features from scanned text?' the category error is always 'just use an LLM'...which WORKS but is very…
"How do I build an MCP server?" is the wrong question. SDKs exist. An LLM can scaffold one in seconds. The real question is: What role should an MCP server play inside a system that must not lie? The scarce skill now is designing the system around MCP:…
LLMs (Large Language Models) are being used as sensors. That is a category error: using a probabilistic synthesizer where a deterministic boundary device is required. This isn't developers' fault. Most mainstream examples and tutorials lead with the simplest…
NOTE: This is not a conventional blog article. It is a technical spec written for a concrete feature in lucidRAG. I iteratively feed this document to code-focused LLMs during development to reason about trade-offs, validate assumptions, and converge on a…
Status: In development as part of lucidRAG. Source: github.com/scottgal/lucidrag Where this fits: VideoSummarizer is the orchestrator of the lucidRAG family, combining five pipelines into a unified video analysis engine: DocSummarizer - Documents (entity…
Search is one of those features everyone underestimates. It looks trivial until real users start typing real queries -acronyms, half-remembered technical terms, punctuation-heavy names like "ASP.NET", or searches that are conceptually right but textually…
Status: AudioSummarizer.Core is currently in development as part of lucidRAG, a forthcoming mostlylucid product for multi-modal RAG. The implementation is complete and working—this article documents the architecture and design. CLI integration will be…
I built StyloFlow because I kept writing the same pattern over and over: components that react to what happened before, emit confidence scores, and sometimes need to escalate to more expensive analysis. Existing workflow engines wanted me to think in terms of…
