Applied Research in Practice

What we've built

Working artifacts produced through our applied research—live, documented, and linked to the methodology behind them.

A build record, not a product catalogue.

curlit

A lightweight browser-based API client that sits between a quick cURL one-liner and a full API platform. Import a command, inspect and edit the request, run it, and share a reproducible invocation.

Why we built it

Raw cURL is ubiquitous but awkward for iteration and sharing. Full API clients can be more machinery than a small, reproducible request needs.

Method under test

A heterogeneous planner, executor, and reviewer loop, backed by executed tests and a human architect deciding what shipped.

Fourteen hours refers to active build effort spread across calendar time, with explicit human verification between increments. The complete account is documented in the applied research case study.

Future work earns a place here when it is working, accessible, and documented.

As more tools emerge from our research, this page will record the artifact, the method, and the evidence—not just the announcement.
