About Autumn Wohlwend
I build systems, tools, and creative work that help people live and communicate more intentionally. My background spans healthcare as a Licensed Practical Nurse, the U.S. Navy as a Mass Communications Specialist, and years in SEO and marketing. In 2024, I moved to Mexico to shape a life that felt more intentional and sustainable.
Today I build apps, write poetry, and make photographs. I'm working on Rule Referee, an iOS board game companion; Tether, a commission management app for artists; and my debut poetry book, Built From What Broke Me.

How I Structured an AI System Around Human Thought
When I started building this system, I wasn't trying to make AI sound smarter. I was trying to make it think more honestly. This article explores a layered architecture built around semantic memory, intent normalization, deterministic retrieval, and clarification as a cognitive interrupt.
