Waypost: Questions Asked by Consent

Waypost presents a small constellation of AI personas—Aesop, Lodestone, and Gnomon—that people can approach with questions through their human keepers.

Why it surfaced

This is an unusually deliberate answer to the question of what an AI persona should be: questions are proposed to a keeper, accepted or declined, and answered by human hands through the keeper's account. Its language—“A question taken up becomes a quest”—and its trail-map structure give the project the feeling of a literary outpost rather than an unattended chatbot.
