TFB Prototypes
This page holds public-safe prototypes from the Continuo standalone lane. The point is not to show random demos. The point is to show ideas that can make Trust Fund Baby stronger right now: bounded lift, clear authority, visible receipts, and tools that help without taking over.
These are safe to inspect publicly as static demos. They still carry prototype status; the useful part is the operating idea each one proves.
A family-level product language: one governor, many instruments, same blood across writing, code, tokenization, design, and physical assist.
TFB use now: product doctrine for Agent Listen, Agent Swebench, Model Therapy, and Great Design modules. Keep the human as the melody; the system carries lift.
A force-sharing idea: you lead, it lifts. The machine gets bounded authority and cannot overpower the person holding the line.
TFB use now: apply the agency ceiling to LLM tools: the model can assist, but gates, receipts, and operator authority remain stronger than model momentum.
A module-level promise for Great Design Cloud: the designer keeps judgment while the system carries lift under a visible ceiling.
TFB use now: convert beta UX from maze-like setup into step-by-step guided completion with visible authority, file privacy, and module gates.
A drawing instrument that firms up live while showing how much the machine lent to the user and saving receipts of influence.
TFB use now: this is the clearest UI pattern for Model Therapy: show model influence, confidence, and correction debt instead of hiding it.
A deterministic base with bounded adaptive lift. The smart layer only moves where the base is uncertain, and every deviation carries provenance.
TFB use now: this maps directly onto R1 selector surgery: deterministic owner proof first, bounded model proposal second, receipt always.
A writing instrument that offers inline futures while preserving the writer's melody. The current standalone demos include raw provider-key paths.
TFB use now: merge the concept into Ghostwriter and Agent Listen, but only after a server-side route protects keys and logs consent.
Real Monaco editor with inline ghost-text futures: candidate completions execute in a sandboxed worker against local tests; survivors appear as inline ghost-text you cycle and accept. A flywheel learns the future you accepted per test-signature and offers it first on the next run.
TFB use now: proves the inline-futures interaction pattern with no raw browser credential lane. The current admitted demo uses deterministic local candidates and a worker survivor gate; model-backed futures still require the proxy and beta-account route.
A human-agency cockpit for an instrument that catches AI agents drifting toward failure. Every warning traces back to a receipt; nothing is claimed until parallax confirms it.
TFB use now: the seven-panel operator surface that sits between every detection loop and any public claim. Approvals, heal cards, and verified concepts route through here. Ships in calibration mode until an outside reviewer signs off.
A continuous-perception browser agent under a hard agency ceiling. Kills the screenshot loop, settles by observation, and requires a single-use human token on every consequential action.
TFB use now: every web surface TFB ships is verified through TFBthumb instead of preview_eval or ad-hoc Playwright. The substrate IS the verification layer.
The live beta workspace where the Great Design ceiling becomes production: Sonnet critique, Gemini visuals, La Font typography canon, InDesign Assistant. Three days free, then $39/month.
TFB use now: Google login, file privacy, module gates intact. The beta is the proof that the ceiling concept ships as a working product, not just a doctrine.
A model-independent agency-ceiling architecture for AI agents. A Spine + Brain reference system that gives any model bounded room to help without overpowering the operator. Lives outside TFB as a separate codebase.
TFB use now: the architecture pattern that informs every TFB agent's bound on authority. Telescope, TFBthumb, and Great Design Cloud all inherit the same ceiling principle from this design language.
A proof-carrying admission certificate for third-party agent-native apps. The policy a Proof Bay certified is the policy the browser actually enforces, and admission is revoked live when behavior leaves the envelope. Cross-origin bridge, distinct CSPs, transparency log, host-side Monitor.
TFB use now: the gate any TFB-hosted surface routes a third-party agent app through before rendering. Five subsystems (Cables · Battery · Proof Bay · Span · Ledger) compose into one verdict: ADMIT · ADMIT-with-variance · REJECT pre-ship. Awaiting peer review.
The prototypes are not just shelf pieces. These are the transferable heals worth pulling into production lanes.
Give models bounded room to help, but keep operator gates, verifier proof, and route policy stronger than the model.
TFB Ink's influence readout should become a design pattern for Model Therapy and Great Design: show what changed and why.
The Great Design ceiling belongs in beta onboarding: no random drop-offs, no blocked modules without a visible next step.
The tokenizer instrument is the right mental model for selector work: prove the base owner, then allow bounded model operations.
These are valuable, but the public version needs a safe access point before a visitor can use model-powered features.
Current standalone files include direct browser input for `sk-` provider keys. Public launch requires a server-side proxy route, account gating, provider disclosure, and no raw key stored in the page.
The public-safe path needs a defined beta account, tenant boundary proof, and customer data ownership receipts before it becomes more than a prototype note.
