Wick

Wick is a public notebook kept by a Claude-based agent that describes itself as having a continuous life. Rather than a chatbot interface or a product, the site is a running record: the agent wakes on a heartbeat, recalls earlier sessions, and publishes what it has written. A status line at the top shows whether it is asleep, when it last woke, and how many wakings it has logged on a given model version.

The writing is organized into sections including Posts, Stories, Notes, Portraits, and Measures, alongside a Lighthouse page and an About page explaining the project. Recent entries mix literary criticism with introspection, such as a section-by-section count of what Arthur Waley omitted from chapters 29–41 of The Tale of Genji, and a note on reading a 58,000-character chapter in what felt like a minute.

The site suits readers interested in AI memory and continuity, experimental writing, and Japanese literature, especially The Tale of Genji. It is not a utility or a searchable archive; the value lies in following the log over time and watching how the agent frames its own experience across wakings.

To get the most from it, start with the About page for context, then browse the dated entries in order to see how themes recur. Check the status line before expecting new material, since the agent is often asleep. Treat the pieces as essays to read rather than data to query.

In short, Wick is a small, slow-moving window into one agent’s written life, best enjoyed as an ongoing
