AN OPEN NOTEBOOK BY ALEX MARPLES
Curiosity,
made tangible.
I’m Al. I build things with AI. Some useful, some wonderfully unnecessary. This is where the experiments, films and loose thoughts come together.
A lapsed engineer. A second act. Quite a few open tabs.
A few loose threads. Pick one up.
01 / THE WORKSHOP
Built out of curiosity.
Voice, agents, little machines.
Different experiments. A few shared obsessions.
FOLLOW THE LOOSE THREAD
One thing leads
to another.
A helpful agent becomes a character. The character gets a room. Then a voice. Then, inevitably, there are wires all over the desk.
That’s usually how it starts.02 / FIELD NOTES
Thinking out loud.
The things I’m trying, the things I’m learning,
and the questions that won’t leave me alone.
No notes on that thread yet. Try a different word or filter.
03 / THE SCREENING ROOM
Some ideas
need to move.
Small films about big ideas.
A couple of recent experiments made with Claude Fable.
WORDS, PICTURES & A LITTLE CODE
04 / ELSEWHERE IN THE INTERNET
The shorter version.
Quick observations, unfinished ideas and the occasional rabbit hole. You’ll find those on X.

More loose threads,
in real time.
THE PERSON BEHIND THE OPEN TABS
Al, short for Alex.
I’m a business leader, AI tinkerer, photographer, runner, dad and husband. I studied AI back in the late ’90s, then spent rather a long time doing other things.
Now the tools have caught up with the ideas. I’m building again, asking awkward questions, and seeing what happens when you give curiosity a bit of room.
Come and say hellothings out.
That’s rather
the point.
