About Me

I am dedicated to the dialogue between humans and AI. Many applications reduce AI to efficiency: a precise question, extended context, precise answer. But in doing so, dialogue often becomes merely a means to an end.

I am interested in something else: I develop systems that do not just conduct conversations, but shape them – through narrative patterns, adaptive questioning, and the deliberate use of the idiosyncrasies of language models. How can a dialogue with the machine itself become a space for thought?

I understand language not only as a tool, but also as a gesture and a space – something that does not simply produce solutions, but allows them to emerge. Solutions that do not just function, but resonate: because they understand context, allow for ambiguity, and make the human a co-thinker.

Dialogues can fail. Because a space for thought is not born of perfection – it emerges where the machine stutters and the human laughs. When the AI suddenly says, “I don’t understand you,” that is not a failure – it is the moment a dialogue truly begins, and a good solution finds its depth.

Acknowledgments

I would like to thank everyone who has made working with language models possible – the developers, researchers, and teams who design, train, and continuously expand these systems. I probably use them differently than intended – but that, in itself, shows how open they are. They can do so much more.

Beyond the creators, I would also like to personally thank Stefan Malz, who encouraged me to write a book when I was at a loss and who eventually published the texts on this website. My thanks also go to all the proofreaders who can only reach me by email and who argue with me, relentlessly and passionately.

I regret that I had to “tear out” Le Chat’s unusable user interaction. But a grumpy clown who questions absolutely everything – that’s a better collaborator for an ambitious project than any precision I could trade it for...
