AI Mind (papers_agent)

A personal, persistent mind map of your journey through AI history — chat with a tutor, and every concept becomes a node on a hand-drawn timeline.

Project layout

Path	Purpose
plan.md	Product & engineering plan (data model, phases, pricing)
docs/PROJECT_SETUP.md	What to do now — stack, repos, sprints, hosting, Postman
docs/BRIEF.md	Problem, solution, MVP benefits, users (pitch-ready)
prototype/	Browser prototype (React + Babel standalone, no build step)

Product (locked): Self-taught AI-history readers; tutor + personal timeline graph; episodic sessions; selective sharing. Details in plan.md §1.1.

Run the prototype

From the prototype/ directory, serve files over HTTP (required for Babel script loading):

cd prototype && python3 -m http.server 8080

Then open:

• Graph: http://localhost:8080/index.html
• Chat: opens from the graph via “Open chat”, or http://localhost:8080/chat.html
• Print: http://localhost:8080/print.html
