JMOpen to thoughtful ideas

Hi, I’m Jiaming.

From signal
to system.

I test emerging AI tools, turn the useful ones into reliable systems, and document what survives real use.

01 / Method

Making fast-moving technology calm, useful, and dependable.

Live signalTest → Document

  1. 01

    Test

    Put the tool in a real workflow and watch what it actually changes.

  2. 02

    Filter

    Keep the useful signal; let novelty and duplicate noise fall away.

  3. 03

    Connect

    Give the right tools a clear place in one understandable system.

  4. 04

    Verify

    Check sources, boundaries, failure states, and what was truly delivered.

  5. 05

    Document

    Record what survives real use—and what should change next.

I like turning fast-moving technology into calm, useful workflows.

Based in Shanghai, I experiment with new ways of working with information. I’m less interested in collecting tools than in connecting the right ones into systems that are clear, reliable, and easy to live with.

I care about source-backed research, privacy-aware local workflows, and thoughtful details. Along the way, I document what works, what fails, and what is worth keeping.

02 / Work

Systems in progress.

Practical systems and experiments I’m actively shaping.

01

AI Briefing Workflows

Recurring workflows that collect fast-moving AI updates, verify the sources, and turn them into concise Chinese briefings that are actually useful to read.

  • AI Research
  • Automation

02

Local-first Knowledge System

A personal knowledge workflow connecting local notes, periodic reviews, and carefully scoped sync—designed around privacy, deduplication, and clear source boundaries.

  • PKM
  • Local-first

Ongoing

03

Creative AI Experiments

Hands-on experiments with AI tools, agent workflows, visual direction, and small digital experiences—focused on where new technology becomes genuinely useful.

  • Prototyping
  • Creative Tools

03 / Field notes

What survives real use.

Working notes on tools, systems, and the craft of making them useful.

Field note / 01

Automation needs judgment

Why the most important part of a reliable workflow is knowing when not to continue.

Usefulness before novelty

How I evaluate new AI tools by the workflow they improve, not the attention they attract.

Open thread / 03

Local-first is a design choice

Thoughts on privacy, ownership, and keeping personal knowledge close without giving up useful connections.
