My personal R&D lab: a solo-built, self-hosted network of
20+ interconnected AI properties where autonomous agents
are the primary users. Everything I recommend professionally gets
battle-tested here first (agents, MCP servers, fine-tunes, knowledge graphs).
One knowledge graph grounds every agent in verified facts; one hub orchestrates them all.
4ort.ai
Multi-tenant AI chat platform and sole identity provider that orchestrates every property's MCP toolset, giving a single agent authenticated hands across the entire stack. Ships its own toolkits: LayerSEO, the 32-tool agenticSEO MCP, a custom self-hosted code interpreter, and a secret firewall.

4ort.xyz
A public, Wikidata-grounded graph of ~40M entities that grounds every agent in verified facts and measures worldwide trending topics in real time, continuously scanning the full GDELT global-news firehose to mint brand-new entities within 15 minutes of them appearing in world news.
Python/FastAPI · Postgres (~313GB) · Redis · SSE
4ort.news
Monitors global news across 65+ languages every 15 minutes, surfacing emerging stories and newly-minted entities. A per-user OAuth MCP server lets an agent read, summarize, and manage the feed autonomously. Real-time brand, competitor, and market monitoring.

4ort-docs / sheets / slides
Documents, spreadsheets, and decks built agent-first (REST API + MCP toolset + human editor), with AI per-slide editing that round-trips "fix slide 3" in ~3 seconds. Agents produce and revise marketing collateral programmatically.

4ort.shop
An API-first crawler that mapped 191,000+ ecommerce domains and 5,300+ live product-catalog endpoints into a structured JSON-LD entity layer. The world's commerce, indexed for agents.

4ort-deep-research
A deep-research agent that swaps every vendor tool for self-hosted lab infrastructure, then benchmarks it: 84% pass@1 on a 50-task FRAMES subset (up from 82%), at or above vendor-tooling baselines. It runs as a 5-worker concurrent pool across four depth tiers, from ~10-second answers to multi-hour research.

4ort-cli
One command-line client for the whole lab, published on npm as @4ort/cli: site hosting, mail, knowledge-graph search and Q&A, smart web search, video publishing, and 1Password-style secrets injection (4ort run feeds vault secrets to child processes only; plaintext never touches disk). An mcp mode turns the CLI itself into an MCP server for any agent.

4ort.stream
~214 videos published fully automatically, each scripted from cited knowledge-graph facts, narrated, screened by a moderation gate, and released overnight, every night.
4ort-kardashev
Interpretability research steering an open LLM at the activation level through SAE feature discovery and multi-layer clamping. The steered disposition survives a hostile system prompt that explicitly bans the topic.
4ort.nexus
A search engine built for AI agents, not eyeballs: a 32M+ page Common Crawl corpus cross-referenced into the entity graph, served as a typed API with agent-friendliness verdicts per source.
4ort.io
An OpenAI-compatible multi-provider LLM gateway, plus the Council: fan a question out to a panel of frontier models and synthesize their collective answer behind one model id.
4ort.live
A 24/7 AI radio station where LLMs invent the prompts, a music model synthesizes original tracks around the clock, and everyone tunes into the same synced stream. 100+ tracks and counting.
4ort-music
The generation engine behind the radio. LLMs invent each song's theme, BPM, key, and lyrics; ACE-Step synthesizes it on CPU 24/7; an ~80% cull rate means only the keepers reach the 100+ track library.
4ort-books
An AI novel-generation pipeline with two books produced (including an 8-chapter novel with a full audiobook), grounded in dual knowledge graphs with calibrated prose-quality gates.
4ort-tv
Topic → finished long-form MP4, end to end: LLM script, AI slide generation, neural narration, original AI music, GPU composition.
4ort.mov
The lab's self-hosted video platform plus a video-factory render engine, fed by the autonomous pipelines through a single CLI publish path.
4ort.life
Your private knowledge graph with a life simulator on top: a nightly "Tomorrow" simulation briefs you on your own next day. The private twin of the public graph.
4ort.win
Feed it any document; hundreds of AI agent personas simulate how audiences react hour-by-hour. A rehearsal space for messaging before it goes live.
4ort.info
A prediction & ideation engine whose bisociative "spark" ideation collides distant domains from the knowledge graph into foresight, campaign, and new-product reports.
4ort.net
Identity infrastructure for humans and their agents: you@4ort.net email on a self-hosted mail server, you.4ort.net static hosting pushed via CLI, encrypted credential provisioning.
4ort.dev
The lab's self-hosted code backbone. Every property repo lives on a private git instance, gated by secret-scanning pipelines.
