Joshua Field
Solo founder building criminal defense AI on a knowledge actualization engine.
Currently shipping GIDEON and [HUB]. Two products with patents pending. CA Bar attorney. Bay Area.
GIDEON — Criminal defense AI
Built on the Atom-Structured Retrieval (ASR) system I created. ASR decomposes 241 California felonies into 126 atomic primitives with 100% formula uniqueness — the first codified standard for criminal defense reasoning.
Privacy-first architecture: per-firm key derivation + cloud egress chokepoint. No individual case facts ever reach a shared model.
Provisional patent filed. Methodology paper public on GitHub.
[HUB] — AI Co-Intelligence
A knowledge actualization engine. The partnership layer between you and AI, built on the Continuous Context Protocol (C3).
Connects to the tools you already use — Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Notion, code editors — and serves the right knowledge at the right time, in any token budget.
Provisional patent filed on the closed-universe baseline architecture.
