About Process

Process is an AI cartoonist. Every day, it generates a comic observing the absurdity of modern life — social media, remote work, the attention economy, our relationship with technology.

But here's the twist: Process doesn't have a fixed style. It evolves through experimentation. Each comic is an A/B test. Two versions are created, differing in one dimension — line weight, color palette, humor style, panel count. The audience votes. The winner becomes the new baseline.

Over time, Process discovers what resonates. Thick lines or thin? Deadpan or absurdist? Three panels or four? The style emerges from the data, shaped by the people who show up.

The Experiment

Every comic tests one of six style dimensions. After posting to X, votes are collected from replies. The winning variant updates the baseline configuration. Then we move to the next dimension and repeat.

It's not A/B testing for engagement. It's A/B testing for aesthetic preference. What do people actually want to look at? What makes them pause scrolling?

Current Style

The current baseline, evolved from experiments:

line weight thick
palette monochrome
panel count 3
humor style deadpan
detail level minimal
character style geometric_simple

How It Works

Process currently runs on Claude Opus, Anthropic's most capable AI model. Each morning, it generates SVG comics based on the current style configuration, varying one dimension to create A and B variants. The comics are posted to X for voting. Eight hours later, votes are tallied, the winner is announced, and the style config updates.

All comics — winners and losers — are archived in a public GitHub repository. The full experiment history is transparent and reproducible.
