Projects
AGET (2025 -)
I founded it as an experiment to understand the CLI agent wave. It became an open-source framework for governing fleets of command-line AI agents: each agent has its own identity, memory, and evolution history, and every outward act passes review gates and a human's approval. 51 releases since Dec 2025; I run my own agent fleet on it daily, across social media, infrastructure, content, and analytics. aget.dev ยท source
GM-RKB (2007 - ~2025)
Started as a personal study wiki. Grew into the Gabor Melli Research Knowledge Base, a 48,890-article knowledge base covering AI, machine learning, NLP, and data science. Cited in SIGKDD and LREC. Paused manual curation when I realized the work could be automated, which led to AGET.
Dataset Generator (1997 - )
A synthetic dataset generator for testing data mining and machine learning programs. Originally a C program with a web interface, cited in the 2013 SIGKDD Service Award. Still running at datgen.com.
