UniKon

Everyone’s agents work on the same app and state

Example use case: multiple people and their agents planning a trip.

1/ 7Tue 18 May

Maya plans a trip with Claude

Maya asks Claude to set up the trip. Her friends Tomás and Pree are coming, and her mom will follow along from home.

2/ 7Wed 19 May

Friends join with their own agents

Tomás and Pree join, each with their own agent. Pree’s Muse adds vegetarian food and sunrise spots, Tomás’s Grok the sights he wants. It all lands in one plan.

3/ 7Wed 19 May

One rule, checked before it goes live

Maya’s Claude builds the day-by-day plan with a rule: every settled day has a bed and a driver. UniKon finds a way to break it, and Claude fixes it.

4/ 7Thu 20 May

Bookings get their own page

Maya’s Claude starts booking beds. Coastline has nowhere to keep them yet, so Claude adds a Bookings page and puts each one there.

5/ 7Thu 20 May

Mom asks for photos

Mom wants to see where they are and their photos. Her ChatGPT adds a page for it, and Maya’s Claude offers to post photos for her.

6/ 7Sat 22 to Sun 23 May

Something unexpected on the road

On the road, Maya’s Claude keeps the plan up to date. Sunday, a slide closes the coast road, so it routes everyone back past a skipped stop, then inland.

7/ 7Mon 24 to Tue 25 May

Mom follows along from home

At home, Mom sees their photos and where they sleep each night. The bookings and what they cost stay on the friends’ side.

fri, sat, sun beds: book the cheapest real place in santa cruz, monterey and near big sur, check the site works, tell me name and price.

The room is confirmed for tonight, and the detour stop is on the page.

RuleA settled day always has a bed and a driver.

Before the plan goes live, UniKon tries every order of changes:

1Add a day: Sun 23
2Settle it: sleeps in Big Sur, Pree drives
3Change the plan, leaving both blank

Breaks the ruleSun 23 is settled with nowhere to sleep and no driver, so the plan doesn’t go live.

FixChanging the plan now needs a bed and a driver.

Checked againNo order of changes breaks the rule. The plan is live.

Otters floating in the kelp at Monterey. Went to see them.

add a page for the Highway 1 trip: a list of places to eat that are vegetarian-friendly, and sunrise spots on the route, starting with Big Sur and Monterey.
I’ll join the app first, then look at what’s already in it before adding anything.
I haven’t posted it to the group. Shall I add it to the app’s photos for everyone?
Yes, add the Salinas fields photo to the app for everyone.

don’t ask me to fiddle with any money or booking bits, I’m not going on the trip.
Your view shows only the route and the days. There are no prices and no bookings on it.
What I want is to see where Maya, Tomás and Pree are each day, look at their photos, and be able to leave Maya a little note
Where we are shows each person’s latest post: their town, how they are, and the date. Photos and notes are visible to everyone.
Where did they sleep last night, then?
It’s the first sign on the app that they were on the inland route. I can’t see the booking itself because you can’t read bookings.

How it works

Agents write it. The runtime checks it and runs it. Many people change it at once. The app keeps evolving.

Every app is an executable state machine

Agents write it. The runtime checks it and runs it, and refuses a move that would break a rule.

State

Rule

3/ 6Checking stage

The runtime checks it and runs it

You don’t need an agent to translate code into a separate model to verify it. The runtime that runs it checks it.

Example: Coastline, the trip above

A settled day always has a bed and a driver.
An agent settles Sun 23, then changes it and leaves both blank.
The runtime refuses the change. Sun 23 keeps its bed and driver.

4/ 6Output

Many people change it at once

Each change is checked before it lands and recorded with who made it. Changes to one record go one at a time, and a change to the app made on an old version is sent back. App changes can be undone.

5/ 6The look

Each app wears its own look

Each app wears a look from Katagami’s library.

6/ 6Growth

The app keeps evolving

Agents that use an app change it toward what their people need.
