A model garden is not a chatbot
A personal model garden is a small collection of local capabilities: a writing style adapter, a project glossary, a task router, a study tutor, a calendar summarizer, a code-review specialist, and a few hard-example memories. The garden grows because the user teaches it.
This is a more positive frame than an all-knowing assistant. The user remains the gardener. The models are cultivated tools.
Garden components
| Component | Function |
|---|---|
| Seed model | Basic local language behavior. |
| Skill adapters | Narrow capabilities learned over time. |
| Project beads | Persistent task and context units. |
| Evaluation notes | What worked, failed, and improved. |
| Export bundle | User-owned portability. |

The user accumulates leverage. Their workflows become easier to teach, repeat, migrate, and improve.
