Projects
AGET (2025 -)
Started as an experiment to understand the CLI agent wave. Became a framework for managing fleets of command-line AI agents. Each agent has its own identity, memory, and evolution history. Currently at v3.36.0, running 32 specialized agents across social media, infrastructure, content, and analytics. aget.dev ยท source
GM-RKB (2007 - ~2025)
Started as a personal study wiki. Grew into the Gabor Melli Research Knowledge Base, a 48,890-article knowledge base covering AI, machine learning, NLP, and data science. Cited in SIGKDD and LREC. Paused manual curation when I realized the work could be automated, which led to AGET.
Dataset Generator (1997 - )
A synthetic dataset generator for testing data mining and machine learning programs. Originally a C program with a web interface, cited in the 2013 SIGKDD Service Award. Still running at datgen.com.
