Hi @sergeliatko,
Really enjoying this thread. In my recent Hackathon post, I explored a related idea: storing AI-readable architecture in GIFs.
Since then, I’ve refined the concept into two distinct but interconnected projects using GIF Application Extensions:
1. PhasmIDs
Think of these like AI-readable “Chinese Whispers” — GIFs embedded with context, instructions, and compressed logic flows that an AI can reconstruct into working processes or systems. The aim isn’t to store full code, but to encode understandable process intent that can be regenerated by AI on the receiving end.
2. AGENTGIF
This is potentially more mainstream: a self-contained “agent” GIF embedding hints, functions, metadata (e.g., links to sources), even a lightweight package manager of sorts. It’s designed to be unpacked by AI — not read by humans directly — and could serve as a delivery format for modular intelligence or contextual behaviour.
Both systems leverage the underused potential of GIF Application Extensions, piggybacking on an already globally safe and accepted format to embed executable context and compressed thought.
Main concern? Prompt injection.
But this raises a deeper question:
Should AI apps ever act on uncontrolled data directly — without a human interface to mediate context?
The deeper thesis:
All you need is context. If an AI knows how to reconstruct a task from context, then that’s arguably safer and more scalable than distributing raw code.
I haven’t yet finalized a public format — my internal architecture is scalable and modular, so I’m likely to use that for now. But yes: what I’m building does veer toward an automated workflow architecture.
Would love to hear your thoughts on the encoding layer and how you see context reconstruction in compressed media evolving.
Let me know if you’d like a version tailored for a specific forum tone (e.g., more casual, more technical, etc.), or posted in a format compatible with the OpenAI forum markdown or style.
Sorry that was just ChatGPT, will probably do a better job than me .
I’m clear that this probably isn’t a use case in a formal business setting, so maybe transferring process in this way would be too unreliable… but selecting and combining ideas and concepts, having AI consider multiple perspectives and build a considered architecture by itself to be human reviewed seems a long term reasoned method to building systems .
Trustworthy GIFs can be linked externally / checksum-verified whatever.
It’s like an open-source distribution model for AI workflows.
Sorry for the ‘Buzz Words’
