Introducing Board Mode: A Better Way to Build With II-Agent

26 May 2026

Board Mode turns AI work from a single conversation into a structured creative workspace. Create separate tasks for research, prototypes, and experiments — each with its own context and status — so you can explore directions without losing control of the main version.

No agent works alone: Introducing CommonGround Kernel preview

Introducing CommonGround Kernel preview An agent spends two hours researching a market. A second agent picks up the work the next morning and drafts a strategy memo. A human comes back to review what was decided and why. The research lives in one chat window. The memo lives in another. The reasoning that connected them lives nowhere. This is what agent work looks like today, and it's why most of it can't be built on. CommonGround has been evolving through earlier previews and public design explorations, and the question across all of them has stayed the same: how does human-agent and multi-agent work become shared, recoverable, and reusable, instead of disappearing into isolated sessions? With CommonGround preview, we're answering that question more narrowly and more clearly than before.

psql_bm25s: when retrieval stops being a budget item

A Postgres-native lexical retrieval primitive for long-running, multi-agent work. Read technical report here. TL;DR 01 Long-running agents lose to retrieval, not context. The longer they run, the more their usefulness depends on cheaply re-reading the state they have already accumulated. 02 Most production agent state already lives in Postgres. Existing Postgres BM25 extensions work, but are slow enough that harnesses end up rationing retrieval, calling it occasionally ins

From RALPH to Zenith: Designing harnesses for long-running agents

Read the technical report on GitHub. TL;DR 01 Long-running agents often fail not because they cannot make progress, but because they stop before the task is truly complete. 02 We tested five harness designs across eight long-horizon tasks to isolate the control mechanisms that matter: repeated gap-finding, revisable planning, independent verification, adaptive orchestration, and stopping discipline. 03 RALPH is the strongest simple baseline because it forces each new session to reo

Introducing Factory

Describe your idea in a single sentence. Get a full production on an infinite canvas: images, video, voice, music, and every scene wired up for you. Every creator knows the feeling. You have an idea for a short film, a campaign, a storybook, or just something that lives vividly in your head, and then you sit down to make it and you're suddenly juggling five browser tabs, three apps, and a pile of folders named "final_v7_REALLY_final." The tool gets in the way of the thing. We built Factory to

The Cosmological Constant Is Positive

The full paper can be found here, along with the microsite. Einstein called relativity a theory of principle, one where the principle itself constrains the physics, the way the axiom determines the mathematics. In 1917, he broke his own rule. He added a term to his field equations by hand, the cosmological constant Λ, because he needed the universe to sit still. A static universe that didn't collapse under its own gravity required something pushing back, and Λ was the push. He didn't need to

One Postulate

Useful links: * Paper * NotebookLM * One Postulate Website Two Postulates In 1905, Einstein built special relativity on two postulates. The first was a principle. The laws of physics look the same in every laboratory moving at constant velocity. No experiment you can perform inside a sealed, gliding room will tell you how fast you are moving. The second was an observation about light. Light travels at the same speed in every such frame, no matter who measures it. The first is a claim ab

On First Principles: Remembering Albert Einstein

"The important thing is not to stop questioning," Einstein once said. "Curiosity has its own reason for existence." Seventy-one years ago today, Albert Einstein died in Princeton. He was still questioning. Pages of equations sat at his bedside. His genius was reasoning from first principles. A refusal to take the foundations on faith. A willingness to question inherited pictures of the world, and to begin again from the ground up when the old picture no longer fit. He rebuilt physics from a p

Common Ground Core: From Agent Chaos to Structured Intelligence

The past year has seen an explosion of “agent frameworks.” Demos look impressive. Loops run. Tasks complete. But as soon as you try to scale beyond a single agent in isolation, things start to break in familiar ways: * Context gets lost * Deadlocks appear * Agents hallucinate into vacuums * Coordination collapses under real-world complexity Most agent stacks ship without a nervous system. They can act, but they cannot reliably coordinate. Unstructured intelligence is just entropy. We buil

The Last Economy

Today we are releasing The Last Economy, the first book of Intelligent Economics, a unified theory of economics for the Intelligence Age. Your economic life expectancy is shrinking. Not your job. Not your career. Your relevance as a human being in the economy itself. For 300,000 years, intelligence was scarce. Humans monopolised thinking. Education created value. Cognitive labour commanded a premium. That age is ending. In the next thousand days or so, intelligence becomes abundant. Machines

Master Plan (open source, not so secret 🤷🏾)

By: Emad Mostaque, Founder & CEO of Intelligent Internet A Great Decoupling is upon us. Our tools are about to out-think their makers, creating a crisis of meaning and threatening to obsolete human labor itself. The current path leads to a world where intelligence is centralized in opaque, godlike models and our agency is rented back to us as a subscription service. This is not a technical problem. It is a moral one. It demands a new social contract built on new code. The main aim of this pro

Symbioism

Preamble: The Third Path “When two roads lead to ruin, wisdom builds a third way.” Humanity stands at a crossroads defined by a new form of power. The means of intellectual production can now be generated at near-zero cost. This inverts our world. The new scarcity is not capital, but trust, coordination, and verifiable truth. This power presents two paths to ruin. Down one lies the “Great Race”, a frantic, zero-sum contest to seize a monolithic AI, haunted by catastrophic risk and authoritar
