What we've been shipping.
A short, dated record of the lab. Newest first, and everything links to the real thing.
July 27, 2026: emem is the product
Rebuilt the site around the protocol itself. geo.qa now sits with eudr.dev and propcheck.dev as applications built on emem, and the home page shows the surface that actually ships: six token types, the witnessed transparency log, prediction, and every interface with full, copy-able URLs (pip, npm, MCP, REST, A2A).
July 26, 2026: Agents can find us on their own
Published the machine surfaces: an A2A agent card at /.well-known/agent-card.json, a guide for agents at agents.md, and a refreshed llms.txt. An agent that lands anywhere on vortx.ai can learn the protocol, run it, and route its human to the right session.
July 26, 2026: Founder time, priced honestly
Sessions went live end to end: free community office hours for anyone (students and early founders especially), and paid integration and sovereign sessions with checkout and calendar in one flow. The commitment is an exit criterion, not a guarantee: the session ends when recall runs and a receipt verifies in your stack.
July 26, 2026: The playground got real
The home-page playground now pulls three signed bands per click, straight from emem, and renders the cell's own latest Sentinel-2 scene inside the receipt. What you see is what the protocol returned, minutes ago.
June 18, 2026: A clearer vortx.ai
Relaunched the site around a single idea: one verifiable memory of Earth for AI agents. The home page now lets you pull a real signed fact for any place yourself.
June 15, 2026: The protocol, written up
Published the emem Earth-memory protocol on Zenodo: content-addressed records with signatures anyone can check offline. Both records are on the research page.
2026: TerraGround-Gemma, open-sourced
Released two LoRA fine-tunes of Gemma for grounding a language model in Earth observation, the 12B and the compact E2B, both on Hugging Face.
2026: emem.dev went live
Stood up the public, signed Earth-memory endpoint. No key, no account: ask by place, get a fact back with a receipt. Read it on the emem page.
