Astrum Verum

It all started in December 2025 just for fun — wanted to mess around with voice AI and personal knowledge graphs. Thought I'd laugh, code a bit in the evenings. But the project sucked me in completely: I quit my regular job because I couldn't stop.

Now Astrum is no longer a hobby — it's a full-on thing: a hyper-advanced voice assistant running on your private knowledge graph, with 3D orbits, embeddings, spatial UI. I coded everything with Anthropic Claude — tried every coding agent out there (Gemini, Grok, o1, the rest), but only Claude has the memory and understanding to keep the whole complex project in its head without losing the thread. And yeah, it ate up every last dollar I had on API credits. Sitting in Calgary with zero savings, no investors, no corporate backing.

If the AI community and anyone who vibes with this doesn't throw some voluntary support my way — the project will just stall out. No moon promises, just a real indie dev trying to finish what he started.
