Archive note. This was the README of this repository until August 2026, when the repo became a portfolio. It documents The Augmented Presenter: a live, AI-adaptive presentation system built in 2025 that reads audience sentiment in real time and reveals at the end that the audience was part of the experiment. It is preserved unedited in its original 2025 voice, pitch-deck capitals and all. It is kept here because it is a real project and the source of the yearbook-quote thread that runs through everything else. Asset paths below are relative to the repository root.

Start at the portfolio README instead if you're here for the overview.

THE VISION REALIZED

Status: LOCKED AND LOADED FOR EXPONENTIAL EXECUTION

We have a complete system that demonstrates AI transformation by BEING AI transformation. Every technical feature serves the narrative. Every personal anecdote connects to universal truths. Every "holy shit" moment reinforces the core philosophy.

The medium IS the message. We're not presenting the future - we're manifesting it.
