Lives, moves and grows

Develops itself

It writes its own skills — and shares them with people and other bias.

When bia keeps doing the same job by hand, or meets a tool no skill covers, it can build the skill itself: a small program with a description, in its own skills folder. It tests it, switches it on without a restart, and from then on simply has it. What one bia has learned this way it can hand to a person or to another bia.

What it means for you

Writes its own skills

Tell bia what you need — “talk to my solar inverter”, “check the shop’s orders every morning” — and it writes the skill, tries it, fixes what fails and keeps it. No programmer needed.

Grows while it runs

A new or improved skill is switched on in place: bia restarts just that skill and learns its new functions, while conversations go on.

Shares what it knows

A skill is a folder bia can send like any file — on a messenger, in its chat app, or straight to another bia it trusts. The other bia adds it to its own skills, so knowledge spreads instead of being learned twice.

Learns from others

Got a skill from a friend or from another bia? Hand it over, and bia can read it, explain what it does, and add it.

Ideas for using it

  • Turn a chore bia does by hand every day into a skill that does it in one step.
  • Connect bia to a device or service that has no ready-made skill.
  • Build a skill once at home and share it with every bia in the family or the company.
  • Give a friend’s bia the skill that took yours a week of trial and error.

Good to know

A skill is a program that runs on bia’s computer, so only take skills from people and bias you trust — and ask bia to read a shared one and tell you what it does before turning it on.

Or just ask bia: Here’s a skill from Ann’s bia. Read it and tell me what it does before you add it.

Wake up a potato

All you need is a USB stick and a computer you are not using — or a server. Twenty minutes later, it is someone.
