How to use this paper page

Coverage: Recent

Use this page to decide whether the paper is strong enough to influence an eval design. It summarizes the abstract plus available structured metadata. If the signal is thin, use it as background context and compare it against stronger hub pages before making protocol choices.

Best use

Background context only

Metadata: Recent

Provisional

Signals: Recent

What still needs checking

Structured extraction is still processing; current fields are metadata-first.

Signal confidence unavailable

Abstract

Personal AI tools can now be generated from natural-language requests, but they often remain isolated after creation. We present PSI, a shared-state architecture that turns independently generated modules into coherent instruments: persistent, connected, and chat-complementary artifacts accessible through both GUIs and a generic chat agent. By publishing current state and write-back affordances to a shared personal-context bus, modules enable cross-module reasoning and synchronized actions across interfaces. We study PSI through a three-week autobiographical deployment in a self-developed personal AI environment and show that later-generated instruments can be integrated automatically through the same contract. PSI identifies shared state as the missing systems layer that transforms AI-generated personal software from isolated apps into coherent personal computing environments.

Use caution before copying this protocol

Use this page for context, then validate protocol choices against stronger HFEPX references before implementation decisions.
