**Built my own model-agnostic AI workstation because I was tired of platform lock-in — free, BYOAK, open source**

Generative AI
Tired of rebuilding context every time I switched models. Tired of my personas living inside OpenAI's walled garden. Built something to fix it. **Architect's Domain**, a workstation UI that sits on top of any provider. Core features: - **Workspace system**, persistent environments with pinned context, imported files, notes. Think Claude Projects but provider-agnostic - **Manual memory curation**, fragments surface during chat, you approve or reject what gets remembered. No silent auto-memory - **Character/persona system via file injection**, load.txt files as system context.
