Hi, I'm Adam.
I build things that work.

I take on hard problems, learn whatever the job needs, and build things people actually use.

Things I'm building.

What I'm working on now — each one built end to end, and used by real people.

Jotura

jotura.io ↗

A notes app that keeps your secrets. Your notes are plain markdown files on your disk, synced between devices with end-to-end encryption — the server only ever sees scrambled gibberish.

It even comes with a CLI so AI agents can work in your vault without ever being able to silently overwrite your words.

AI Council

council.adamrichardson.online ↗

Ask one question, get forty opinions. Four frontier models from four different labs each answer as ten different experts — the analyst, the contrarian, the lawyer, the one who tells you how you'll really feel about it in six months.

Then a lead model reads all forty and tells you where they agreed, where they genuinely didn't, and what to actually do. Takes about a minute and costs pennies.

Stocks

stocks.adamrichardson.online ↗

Every day, AI agents hunt down stocks that moved more than 5% — then dig through filings, news and social chatter to explain what actually happened, in plain English.

No suits, no jargon, just answers. And obviously not financial advice.

Writing.

Longer pieces on hard problems, new technology, and what actually holds up once real people are using it.

Working on something hard, want to compare notes, or just fancy talking shop? Everything lands on X first — that's the best place to catch me.
