About

I'm Jacob Alicea, a solo indie developer building Artifex, an Early Access Windows AI workspace. I work with AI coding assistance and focus on editable memory, project tools, and making an assistant's actions easier to inspect. Interested in local AI, game development, and practical creative workflows. I'm here to learn from other makers and improve Artifex through real user feedback.

Hi, I'm Jacob — building Artifex, a Windows AI workspace

Hi everyone, I'm Jacob Alicea, an independent creator working on Artifex, an Early Access AI workspace for Windows. I'm building it with AI coding assistance.

I want a place where conversations, project files, and the things an assistant remembers stay connected and where I can inspect and correct that memory. Artifex lets users choose local Ollama models or a supported API and work with project and browser tools.

One lesson from developing it: an AI saying 'done' isn't the same as a task being verified. I've been putting more work into action logs, file checks, checkpoints, and clearer limits so users can see what actually happened. There's still plenty to improve, especially setup and consistency across models.

I've prepared the Product Hunt launch, which includes a walkthrough and a link to the free demo: https://www.producthunt.com/prod...

Artifex - Your AI workspace: editable memory, files and browser tools

An AI workspace for Windows that connects conversations to real project work. Inspect and edit what it remembers, organize projects and chats, work with files, and watch its dedicated browser without giving up your mouse. Use local Ollama models or your own supported API. Includes task checkpoints, usage tracking, and optional creative tools. Early Access: $99.99 one-time, with a free feature tour and limited 10-request demo. Models, API credits, and third-party tools are separate.
