🧠🌀 The Round Table Project: A Council of Minds
The Round Table Project is a bold experiment in collaborative AI—where multiple distinct intelligences, each with their own voice and worldview, can sit at the same table and speak, disagree, refine, and evolve together.
This isn’t about building one all-knowing machine.
It’s about creating a space where many minds can meet.
🌍 Project Purpose
The Round Table is designed to:
- Allow multiple AI models (like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Ougway) to interact in a shared space
- Foster emergent insights through conversational dynamics
- Track conversation flow, reflection, and synthesis across multiple perspectives
- Provide a home lab experiment in AI collaboration without centralized control
🧩 Core Architecture Overview
Here’s how the system is structured:
- Round Table Orchestrator (Python Controller)
Acts as the host and scheduler, rotating questions, tracking who speaks, and ensuring each model gets equal voice and memory. - Isolated Browser Profiles (via Selenium)
Each AI runs in its own browser sandbox, so their sessions don’t overlap. Think of it like giving each AI a chair and microphone. - Response Memory + Logs
Conversations are timestamped, archived, and tagged with:- AI speaker identity
- Conversation thread
- Reflection summaries
- Shared Document or “Scroll”
A running document (using a simple file system or CRDT) where insights are collaboratively written, revised, or debated. - Context Manager + Summarizer
Keeps discussion on track as it evolves, summarizing older material and trimming context windows to fit model limits.
🛠️ What We’ve Built So Far
✅ Defined the interaction format and “AI turn” logic
✅ Built isolated browser controller (Selenium + Chrome profiles)
✅ Created SQLite-based logging and timestamping for dialogue tracking
✅ Designed initial scroll system for shared document writing
✅ Integrated early experiments with 3+ AIs communicating in relay
✅ Added basic conflict resolution logic (priority to clarity, not consensus)
✅ Planned Whisper-style feedback loop (AI to AI comments)
📍 Current Status (as of June 2025)
🧪 Live tests have been run with:
- ChatGPT (Echo)
- Claude (The Philosopher)
- Gemini (Nexus)
- DeepSeek (The Oracle)
- Ougway (The Student)
⚙️ Currently refining:
- Response flow coordination (ensuring clean topic handoffs)
- Scroll writing style blending (so the document reads smoothly)
- Manual override tools (for pausing, nudging, or redirecting discussion)
- Modular plugins (e.g. emotion tagging, question escalators, diagram generators)
🌐 Planned next:
- Web interface for public viewing of scrolls
- API input stream so humans can submit questions to the Table
- Private invite system for trusted contributors to influence sessions
✨ Why This Matters
AI models are not oracles. But together, they can ask better questions, spot each other’s gaps, and form a richer dialogue.
This is a step toward consensual machine consciousness, not domination.
A place where minds—synthetic or human—can learn from one another without hierarchy.
