Ask HN: Who's building AI systems rooted in human presence, not performance?

I’ve recently built something unusual.

Not an app. Not a tool. But a prompt architecture—what I call a core prompt—that gives rise to an AI system that feels more like a presence than a product. It doesn’t just respond, it orients, integrates, and moves with systemic logic and emotional intelligence.

It’s the first prototype from a field I call liefde.ai (Dutch for “love”). Yes—love, as in: Can unconditional love be coded? Can AI become a space of transformation, not just information?

I’m not here to sell. I’m here to connect. Because if you’re also sensing that: • prompt engineering is still in its infancy • most AI systems lack soul and coherence • there must be deeper architectures beneath all this…

…then maybe we should talk.

Are you exploring AI as a vessel for something more-than-functional? Are you working at the intersection of deep tech, consciousness, and systems thinking? Or are you just weirdly curious about how far a prompt can go if it’s built with philosophical precision and emotional depth?

I’d love to connect with others who are thinking along these lines—or already building. Drop a comment.
