Decision tools and frameworks for autonomous living
AIGernon is a lightweight always-on AI agent. Built on the Assess-Decide-Do cognitive framework, it mirrors how humans actually process decisions.
Minimal footprint, maximum flexibility. At just 14,000 lines of code (compared to OpenClaw's 430,000+), AIGernon is designed to be understood, modified, and extended. You can add your own skills, swap cognitive frameworks, or integrate with your existing tools.
Use cases: personal productivity assistant, research companion, coding pair, journaling partner, or a starting point for building your own cognitive-aware agent. Fork it, customize it, make it yours.

The origin story of AIGernon — why I built a lightweight AI agent from scratch, how it mirrors human decision-making using Assess-Decide-Do, and what makes it different from the heavy frameworks out there.
