Every episode leaves a system you can use
Augmented Wellness isn't listen-and-forget. Each conversation becomes a public artifact: an AI interviewer, a starter kit, an agent pattern, or a workflow you can fork, adapt, and run with your own tools.
The first step is context: create an interviewer that learns who you are, what you care about, and what questions matter before it reacts to disconnected data. Use the artifacts with Claude, ChatGPT, Codex, a local agent, or any LLM that can read Markdown. Serve them through MCP when you want tools to read the context automatically. Connect Betterness when you want the system to come alive with permissioned wearables, labs, reports, goals, and lifestyle data.
