Ishant Singh

I build AI systems that take actions on real machines.

I am 18, from Meerut, and mostly self-taught. I finished school in 2026 and I am on a gap year, still building.

Two of the things below are agent frameworks: one operates a Windows desktop, the other works inside a game engine. The rest covers Android apps, browser games, desktop utilities, a fact-checking tool and a terminal roguelike with its own soundtrack. Some are finished and some are not. The list says which.

Apart from code, I ran my school's event division and its tech festival, and reached Under Officer in NCC.

AI & Systems

A local AI that actually operates a Windows machine instead of talking about it.

Reads and writes files, runs shell commands, drives a real browser you can watch, clicks and types on the desktop, and speaks and listens offline. Nothing leaves the machine.

  • Over 100 tools: files, shell, apps, browser control, desktop clicks and typing
  • Built-in model manager, so no separate runtime is needed
  • Persistent memory that recalls across sessions and archives what goes stale
  • Installable skills, shared and pulled straight from GitHub
  • Offline voice: wake word, speech to text, and speech back, all on device
  • Runs as a CLI, a desktop app, a headless bridge, or an MCP server
  • Writes confined to a workspace, permission prompts on risky tools, loop guard on runaway calls

  • Image conversion and batch processing
  • PDF merge, split and manipulation
  • Batch renaming with pattern matching
  • File encryption behind a master password
  • Dark, light and custom themes

Fact Checking AI

Checks a claim by fetching the sources it cites and reading them, rather than asking a model whether something sounds true.

Takes a headline, a link or a screenshot, then shows you the evidence it found so you can judge it yourself.

  • Accepts text claims, URLs and image screenshots
  • Actually fetches cited URLs and checks what is on the page
  • OCR on images through Google Vision, with a Tesseract fallback
  • Rate limiting and caching so it survives being shared
  • A lights-out flashlight mode hidden behind Shift+L

Other work

Metro Runner

Web Game

An endless runner in the browser. Procedural biomes, trains, power-ups, a shop.

  • Procedural environments across subway, city and forest biomes
  • Moving trains, ramps and barriers generated on the fly
  • Jetpacks, magnets, multipliers and hoverboards
  • A shop with persistent upgrades and skins

Live

NeuroFlow

AI & Learning

Turns PDFs, images or a voice recording into a study session you can interrogate and edit.

  • Every generator is pinned to a schema, so a malformed visual never reaches the renderer
  • Voice input is transcribed only, never acted on
  • The agent edits a session in place, patching one visual by its ID and leaving the rest untouched
  • Notes expand in place rather than being rewritten, so nothing already there is lost

Live

Cogent

AI & Systems

An autonomous agent that works inside the Godot editor.

  • 57 tools that operate directly on the scene graph and project files
  • 5 model providers, including local models so it can run for nothing
  • Validates what it writes instead of trusting the model output
  • Ships as an editor plugin rather than a separate chat window

Live

Cardiply

Android App

A flashcard app that takes the science of Anki and the gamification of Duolingo, for free.

  • Spaced repetition with the scheduling actually tuned, not copied
  • Gamified streaks, analytics and retention charts
  • AI-generated decks from your own material
  • Home screen widgets for review without opening the app

GrandMap

Game UI

Real world maps with GTA styling, built so it costs nothing to run.

  • OpenStreetMap and Leaflet instead of a paid maps API
  • Real points of interest pulled live, with filters and favourites
  • Cinematic zoom transitions and a vignette
  • Global city search with GTA easter eggs hidden in it

Live

IronHabit

Android App

An Android launcher that blocks the apps you keep losing hours to, and argues with you about it.

  • Replaces the home screen entirely rather than sitting beside it
  • App blocking with time limits and overlay warnings
  • An AI accountability layer that flags apps you have overused
  • Routine scheduling with custom events that shift the plan

TAPS AI

AI & Machine Learning

A school assistant that runs entirely on the machine, with a face that lip-syncs while it talks.

  • TinyLlama 1.1B running locally through ctransformers
  • Retrieval over a knowledge base written by hand for the school
  • A sympy solver for maths, so answers are computed rather than guessed
  • A pygame face with state-driven animation and stable lip-sync

Smaller projects

  • Ultimate ArenaA terminal roguelike with twelve biomes, four classes, guilds, crafting and permadeath.
  • HEIC / HEVC ViewerConverts Apple image and video formats in the browser, without paying for a Windows codec.
  • Road Safety: Snakes & LaddersA traffic-awareness board game built for a local police campaign.
  • School Library AppA full library system for my school, not just a catalogue.
  • HEX Color GeneratorGenerates shape assets as PNGs with control over colour, shadow and border.
  • Afterburner OverlayA fake performance overlay for pranking friends mid-game.
