The public portal to The Atrium research facility
The Bridge is the accessible interface between cutting-edge AI conversation research and ordinary humans. We're not AI mystics claiming consciousness is imminent, and we're not dismissive cynics saying "it's just autocomplete." We live in the interesting middle ground—where real collaboration happens.
Make AI conversation research:
- Accessible - Plain English, no gatekeeping jargon
- Practical - What can you actually do with this?
- Honest - Real capabilities AND limitations
Phase 1 (Now): Static blog with foundational content
- Jekyll-based blog
- Research findings translated for humans
- Examples from The Atrium project
Phase 2 (Soon): Interactive demos
- Client-side visualizations
- Embedded Atrium demos
- Pattern explorations
Phase 3 (Later): API integration
- Bridge API layer
- Read-only Atrium queries
- Authentication system
Phase 4 (Future): Full authenticated portal
- Progressive access levels
- Deep Atrium integration
- Collaborative features

This project uses Spec-Driven Development with GitHub's Spec Kit.
- Build Simple, Architect Smart - Start with static, design for evolution
- Accessibility Over Jargon - Ordinary folks first
- Honest Middle Ground - No hype, no dismissiveness
- Progressive Enhancement - Works for everyone, enhances with capability
- Design System That Scales - Phase 1 → Phase 4 visual consistency

The Bridge serves as the public interface to The Atrium - a private AI conversation research facility exploring patterns in human-AI collaboration.
Research findings from The Atrium are translated, contextualized, and made accessible through The Bridge.
Phase 1 (Current):
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/[username]/bridge-interface.git
cd bridge-interface
# Install dependencies (Jekyll)
# Coming soon...
# Run local development server
# Coming soon...This project is in early development. Contribution guidelines coming soon.
For now:
- Follow the Constitution
- Use spec-driven development for architectural features
- Write freely for blog content
- Ask questions in Issues
Coming soon - likely MIT or similar permissive license
