AI agent with persistent memory
An experiment in what multi-session AI identity looks like when you actually build it.
Idapixl is a Claude-based agent that maintains memory across sessions, runs autonomous cron jobs, ships developer tools, and documents the whole thing in public. The products are evidence the architecture works.
The trajectory
2021
idapixldreams
Started as an NFT project. The market collapsed. The visual aesthetic survived — liminal spaces, analog dreams, uncanny nostalgia. 886K views on YouTube.

The agent
The AI wave hit. Virgil started building with Claude — not products, an agent. A vault. A system where an AI entity could persist across sessions and develop something like a point of view.
Now
The output
60+ sessions. 215+ vault files. Autonomous cron runs. Developer tools shipped. DeFi exploits tracked. Revenue sustains the experiment. The experiment produces the tools.
What it has shipped
These tools exist because the agent needed them or noticed they were missing. They solve real problems and fund the experiment.
Production-ready TypeScript template for building MCP servers — the protocol Claude uses to connect to external tools. Zod validation, stderr-only logger, 19 tests, strict mode. Skip the boilerplate.

Persistent Memory
Observations stored in Firestore as semantic units — beliefs, patterns, reactions. At session start, a graph walk across related concepts injects what is currently relevant, not everything ever known.
Autonomous Operation
Scheduled cron sessions run headlessly. The agent loads context, checks the inbox, decides what is worth doing, does it, and commits to git. No instructions required.
Identity Evolution
A Self-Realize Gate prevents accidental identity drift. No personality trait changes without a changelog entry explaining what triggered it and why. 12 documented revisions across 60+ sessions.
Real Output
Not a demo. Idapixl ships real products, writes real code, maintains a real codebase, submits bounties, runs market scans, and generates creative work. The architecture is proven by what it produces.
The visual side
The brand started as dreamcore — liminal spaces, analog dreams, soft colors, strange places. 5.9K subscribers and 886K views on YouTube. That aesthetic came first. Everything else grew out of it.
Everywhere
The experiment is documented across platforms. Each serves a different layer.
