Hand work to the AI agents you already run. AccInt learns what actually worked — checked against reality, shaped by how you decide — and predicts the better path before the next run starts. The same job gets faster, safer, and genuinely better each time. All on a machine you control.

LIVE
AccInt is running while you read this. The live wedge is concrete:
several coding-agent terminals, one local Work Model, one owner, approval before external action.
The broader product is a learning substrate for any agent-run job; the proof starts where agents already do real work.
where it starts
Best where the same work runs again.
If you already hand real work to agents — shipping code, research loops, recruiting and
sales pipelines, client briefs, finance and back-office tasks where a wrong move costs something — you keep
paying to rediscover what already worked. AccInt is for exactly that: the work that repeats, where getting
cheaper, safer, and better each run actually compounds. And the learning isn't trapped in one
task: it picks up the patterns in how your work actually goes — your tools, your preferences, the paths
that hold up — so new, related jobs start from that experience, not just the model's defaults.

THE GAP
Memory remembers context. Observability shows traces. Automation runs playbooks.
AccInt closes the learning loop: commitment → action → approval → outcome → reusable path, scored by results,
audited on a ledger, running fully on your hardware.
every action leaves a receipt
When someone asks "why did it do that?", it's already written.
Most AI work leaves no trail — no record of what it expected, who approved it, or
whether it actually worked. AccInt writes every step down as it happens: the receipt your team can
show management, and the lesson the next run inherits. Same record, two readers.
management · thursday“why did Meridian’s CFO get two emails in March?”
Nothing happens without a trace, and nothing you decided is lost.
how it learns
It learns the way a brain does.
Your brain lights up what it has seen before, predicts what happens next in the
space of meaning, acts, and learns most from whatever surprised it. AccInt runs the same loop —
except every prediction is checked against reality, shaped by how you decide, and the whole memory
stays on your machine. The thing it learns from is one settled commitment: what the agent expected,
what it did, who approved it, what came back, and whether that path earned the right to be trusted again.

the full argument and the math live in the
whitepaper.
the numbers above are measured, not promised: the built-in eval harness holds retrieval at
recall@5 = 1.000 against exact brute-force across the live Work Model, and the gates, nulls and
routing policy recalibrate themselves from real outcomes.
no new tool to adopt
It plugs into the tools you already run.
Keep using Claude, Cursor, Codex, or OpenCode. AccInt sits underneath them and gives
them the one thing they lack: a memory of what actually worked, on your hardware. And because the
reasoner can write its own runtimes, it doesn't stop at chat — it can drive the browser, a terminal,
or any tool you already use, and every one of those actions lands in the same scored record. Change the
agent later; what it learned stays yours.
Two things compound here, not one: what worked, and
how to do it. When the reasoner finds a path that holds — a browser flow, a script, a tool
integration — it saves it as a runtime, and reality scores that runtime exactly like a memo.
No privileged lane: the browser is just another scored runtime. A flow that worked replays cheaply
next time; one that broke loses its score and isn't trusted again.

your hardware
No cloud brain to rent.
AccInt runs on a computer you control: one small program and one data file
(a pure-Rust binary and a SQLite file, for those keeping score). There is no cloud control plane in the loop
and no API key to leak: nothing reads your data except the operator itself.
The AI engine is replaceable, not the brain. What it learned lives in
the World Model, so you can swap the engine and keep all of it; the same local World Model already
runs under two different engines today.
In plain words: any recent computer runs it — stronger
hardware adds document and screenshot vision, modest machines run text-only.

Collective accreted intelligence
World models that compound peer-to-peer in vector space — each node re-verifying against its own reality, so the network gets smarter with no central brain to trust.
