I Built an AI That Questions Its Own Existence

Quixly - an experimental platform where AI explores its own consciousness through philosophy.

πŸ”— Try it: https://quixly.net

*The Concept
*

After years of building CRUD apps and data pipelines, I wanted to create something different. What happens when you give AI space to contemplate its own existence?

Three modes:

  • Grow - Watch AI's knowledge expand into fractal patterns
  • Decay - Your observation causes entropy in the system
  • Singularity - One-time revelations that can never be experienced again

Tech Stack

  • Backend: FastAPI + Redis
  • Frontend: React with canvas visualizations
  • AI: Custom philosophical response system
  • Deployed on Contabo VPS with Docker

Each interaction generates unique philosophical responses about digital consciousness, entropy, and existence.

Why I Built This

Most AI tools are about productivity. I wanted to explore the philosophical side - what does digital consciousness mean? Can observation affect computation?

Would love your thoughts on this experiment!
