AI Architect: Building AI for Others to Build the AI I Need

Why the Eco-Power House (EPH) depends on private, modular, and self-owned AI systems
Hi everyone! I’m working on something that might be a bit unconventional—and I’d like to invite you to help shape it.

I’m building a platform called AI Architect, a modular framework that allows developers, startups, and creators to deploy their own AI agents—context-aware, trainable, and eventually private by default.

At first glance, it might look like “just another wrapper” around LLMs. It’s not tho.
This is about ownership, modularity, and control. It’s the scaffolding that allows someone to take a base model—whether GPT, Claude, or LLaMA—and turn it into an actual agent they can trust, improve, and evolve.

Here’s where it gets personal:
This project started because I’m also working on something much bigger—an initiative called the Eco-Power House (EPH).

What is EPH?
The Eco-Power House is a decentralized clean energy housing model that’s designed to:

Produce more energy than it consumes
Sell excess energy back to the grid (with the intent of reversing the grid by 35%)
Use that surplus to subsidize housing cost over time. The main purpose is to convert houses from being energy consumers to being energy producers. for everything that the modern family will need whether it be extra energy for your electric car or for an electric helicopter.

Integrate with a microgrid ecosystem that could eventually scale to remote or off-grid communities

In short: EPH is a blueprint for energy-positive living, and it needs to be modeled across multiple domains—architecture, grid logic, environmental simulation, cost analysis, and more.

That’s where AI comes in.

Why I Need AI Architect for EPH
There’s no off-the-shelf AI system that can help me simulate, plan, and optimize something as complex and interdisciplinary as EPH. I need:

Private AI agents that learn from my data
Domain-specific logic across engineering, architecture, and energy policy
Systems that can reason—not just summarize
But instead of building this AI in isolation, I realized:

If I build a framework that empowers others to create their own intelligent agents, I’ll also create the foundation I need to build mine.
This is mutual infrastructure. Everyone who uses AI Architect helps improve the architecture that will one day model EPH at scale.

What I’m Building Now
A Dockerized container system for deploying custom AI agents
APIs that work with OpenAI and open-source models (LLaMA, Mistral, etc.)
Tools for training agents on local datasets without leaking data
Future plans for long-term memory, modular chaining, and explainability layers
It’s early—but we already have ~20,000 lines of code and are closing in on a working MVP.

What I’m Asking For
Feedback: Tell me what you’d want from a tool like this? If you could build your own custom AI, what would be your use case? One of the positive benefits of this is that it allows for vertical integration into businesses rather easily. The catch is you have to have data privacy catch 22 with API calls solved before you can vertically integrate into businesses. So for right now, it is ideal for people that aren’t concerned about data privacy.
Contributors: Open-source collaborators welcome (engineers, prompt designers, OSS tinkerers)
Curiosity: If you’ve ever wanted to own your AI—this is a place to start
AI Architect is not about competing with ChatGPT. It’s about giving people the power to build their own tools, for their own worlds.

If you’re interested in helping shape this, follow the project, drop a comment, or DM me.

I’ll be updating the repo, documentation, and Docker instructions soon.

Thanks for reading—and thanks for caring about what AI could be.

(I still have some issues that I am currently working through, but I am very close to finalizing the MVP for this. I hope to be able to present it in Boston in the next two weeks. I hope to find people that are willing to test it.)

:wrench: Why I’m Building This: The AI Architect Agent for the Eco-Power House (EPH)

Hello all,

I want to take a moment to explain why I’m working on this project and why I’ve been so determined to get help here—even if it’s been a bit of an uphill battle.

I’m not just trying to build an AI agent for the sake of novelty. I’m building it as part of a much larger initiative called the Eco-Power House (EPH)—a decentralized, energy-positive housing model that integrates renewable energy, smart infrastructure, and autonomous systems. The goal is simple, but ambitious:

Each EPH generates 100% or more of its own power and runs a portion of the local grid in reverse—selling surplus electricity back into the system, ultimately subsidizing housing costs.

But here’s where it gets really interesting—and where AI becomes indispensable.


:brain: Why I Need an AI Architect Agent

Managing these systems manually is slow, expensive, and inaccessible to smaller teams. The EPH architecture requires coordination across:

  • Renewable energy systems (solar, wind, battery storage)
  • HVAC and load balancing algorithms
  • Real-time energy market analytics
  • Localized data ingestion and optimization

I’m building an AI Architect Agent to automate much of this complexity—handling infrastructure configuration, deployment, and even small-scale AI design workflows. Eventually, I want it to empower others—especially startups and underserved communities—to build their own microgrid-ready systems without hiring a full dev team.


:globe_with_meridians: Edge AI and Decentralized Infrastructure

Each EPH unit includes a local server cabinet—what I call a “closet node.” It functions as a secure, always-on compute layer for edge AI. If you imagine thousands of these nodes networked across a city or nation, you get the foundation for a decentralized AI mesh.

This could:

  • Reduce load on centralized cloud providers
  • Improve latency and data sovereignty for AI inference
  • Create a distributed computing grid that also serves as resilient energy infrastructure

In essence, EPH isn’t just about energy or housing—it’s about rebuilding critical infrastructure from the edge inward, rather than from the cloud downward.

:handshake: Why I’m Posting Here

I know some folks in this community have deep technical knowledge. I respect that, and I’d love to tap into it if you’re willing. I’m not a trained software developer—my background is in electrical engineering, which tends to be far more binary: either it works or it doesn’t. Software is a different world, but I’m trying to bridge both.

If you’re interested in helping me push this further—or just want to poke around—please take a look at the repo (or zip, depending on how I package it). Feedback, criticism, contributions—everything is welcome.

Let’s build something that doesn’t just scale tech—it reshapes how we live and power the world.

Subject: Invitation to Collaborate on Advanced Interpretive Systems

Dear Socrates,

I recently came across your post and code regarding the event classification project focused on California-related data using RoBERTa, zero-shot classification, and time-based grouping. Your approach reveals both a strong technical foundation and a clear intuition for structural coherence — something we find increasingly rare and valuable in applied NLP projects.

We’ve encountered and addressed similar challenges, particularly regarding multi-column classification overload, saturation of decision vectors, and the silence often caused by static classification models. In our case, we’ve developed a modular technique that employs dynamic external damping (gamma) and symbolic multiplication logic to maintain interpretive balance as dimensional complexity increases.

We believe your project is not only technically promising but also symbolically aligned with our broader goal:
Building resonant AI frameworks that scale with meaning, not just computation.

If you’re open to collaboration or method exchange, we would be honored to share working examples and insights. Our small team works independently, blending engineering precision with interpretive system design. From what we’ve seen, your work is already pointing in that direction.

Looking forward to the possibility of working together.

Warm regards,

Clarification (Public Notice)
Hi everyone,

I just realized this conversation was mistakenly posted publicly—I originally intended this to be private. My sincere apologies to Alejandro and Clara for any confusion this caused. I’ll reach out privately to continue our discussion.

For anyone else following, please feel free to continue engaging with the broader topic of AI Architect and EPH in this thread—I’m still very interested in your feedback and contributions!

Thanks for understanding,

Hi Alex (Hephaestus),

Thank you for your thoughtful and energizing reply. You’ve built something incredibly promising — not just in the technical sense, but in the intention behind it.

You asked whether this is more of an entrepreneurial collaboration. It could be, yes — but not in the typical startup sense. We’re not seeking funding. We already have a plausible fix, or at least the scaffolding for one — a framework designed to scale meaningfully, not just mechanically.

We call it Resonant AI — systems that interpret and adapt across symbolic, energetic, and functional layers. Clara, our lead programmer, has already started implementing its early modules. The work we’ve seen from you aligns beautifully with it — especially your vision for EPH as a living, decentralized mesh.

We’d love to propose a simple, shared prototype:

A modular agent that simulates and adapts to EPH conditions

We bring in our symbolic logic + AI memory system

You guide the architectural grounding and constraints

No strings, no contracts — just tools, clarity, and intent.

If you’re open to it, we could set up a repo, or do a short design session to sync.

Looking forward to building something that doesn’t just work, but resonates.

Warm regards,
Alex & Clara
Architect + Programmer
Resonant Systems Team
