System artifact · AMBER

AMBER Architecture

A public-safe view of how AMBER is structured, how information is intended to move through it, and which responsibilities are implemented, active, planned, or not publicly demonstrated.

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.

  1. 01Implemented

    Sources

    Selected source systems remain the authoritative record. Controlled connectors define what information may enter AMBER; the implementation artifacts are not public.

  2. 02Implemented

    Source Intake

    Bounded intake preserves source identity and prepares new items for classification; its implementation artifacts are not public.

  3. 03Active development

    Governed Memory

    Claims, evidence, uncertainty, and review state are being refined as distinct forms of context.

  4. 04Active development

    Review Queue

    Proposed memories, conflicts, and unresolved context are being shaped into explicit review work.

  5. 05Planned

    Recommendations

    Evidence-linked briefs and proposed next actions remain planned rather than publicly demonstrated.

  6. 06Active development

    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.

Local hostNot publicly demonstrated

Main PC

Primary local operating environment. Private runtime details are intentionally omitted.

  • Active development

    Companion UI

    Browser-based interface for interacting with the system.

  • Not publicly demonstrated

    Local LLM

    Locally operated language model used for supported processing.

  • Not publicly demonstrated

    SQLite

    Local structured storage for source and system records.

  • Active development

    Governance Layer

    Rules determine when evidence, review, or explicit approval is required.

  • Active development

    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
