KOS — An Exocortex

An exocortex I build outside work hours. It commits to a position and a probability before it answers, then gets scored against what actually happened.

The Problem

AI is a black box even to the people building it — nobody fully knows how it reasons or where it’s headed. The common response is to hand thinking over to it anyway: ask, get an answer, skip the reasoning.

What KOS Does

KOS does the opposite. Before it answers, it forces a committed position and a probability. Then it scores that position against what actually happened — not against how helpful the answer felt.

Status

Outside work hours, alongside the product role at Indegene. This is where I test how far AI reasoning and the human brain can go together.

Why It Matters

Most AI products optimize for the feeling of being helped. KOS optimizes for whether the thinking was actually right — a different bet, and the one worth testing first, on myself.
