Public-safe system artifact
What AMBER is
AMBER is a locally operated personal systems project designed to collect information from selected sources, preserve evidence, apply explicit governance rules, and prepare recommendations for human review.
It remains in active development. This artifact explains the intended responsibilities and current public evidence boundary; it does not present AMBER as a finished autonomous assistant or a production platform.
Information flow
How information moves
Each responsibility has a visible state so intended capability is not mistaken for demonstrated implementation.
Sources
Selected source systems remain the authoritative record. Controlled connectors define what information may enter AMBER; the implementation artifacts are not public.
Source Intake
Bounded intake preserves source identity and prepares new items for classification; its implementation artifacts are not public.
Governed Memory
Claims, evidence, uncertainty, and review state are being refined as distinct forms of context.
Review Queue
Proposed memories, conflicts, and unresolved context are being shaped into explicit review work.
Recommendations
Evidence-linked briefs and proposed next actions remain planned rather than publicly demonstrated.
Human Approval
Explicit human approval is the governing design principle. The authority gate model is being refined through implementation, and no autonomous approval workflow is publicly demonstrated.
Local system view
Primary structure
The view stays at the responsibility level and intentionally omits private runtime, repository, security, and data details.
Main PC
Primary local operating environment. Private runtime details are intentionally omitted.
Companion UI
Browser-based interface for interacting with the system.
Local LLM
Locally operated language model used for supported processing.
SQLite
Local structured storage for source and system records.
Governance Layer
Rules determine when evidence, review, or explicit approval is required.
Connectors
Controlled intake from selected source systems, with broader coverage still planned.
Capability and evidence boundary
Current state
The classifications separate reported implementation state from what a visitor can independently inspect on this site.
Implemented
Capabilities described as current foundations in the public project record.
- Source intake and classification foundations
- Explicit approval boundaries and governance principles
Active development
Responsibilities being refined through the private implementation.
- Governed memory and review workflows
- Stewardship behavior and the companion interface
- Governance rules and selected source connectors
Planned
Direction that remains dependent on earlier capability layers.
- Evidence-linked recommendation support
- Deeper chief-of-staff and recurring briefing workflows
- Additional connectors and governed automation
Not publicly demonstrated
Important limits on what this public artifact establishes.
- The private implementation repositories are not public
- No public live demonstration is currently provided
- Reliability and performance have not been publicly benchmarked
- Time savings and operational outcomes remain unmeasured
