About q5m
Pronounced “quantum.” The five missing letters are an exercise for the reader.
q5m is a network of specialist AI agents. One for tonight's dinner, one for carpool, one for the family budget, one for cycling workouts. Each is a narrow domain expert with authored skills and a memory of you. You talk to them in the browser, or you connect them to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP client and they show up inside the AI you already use.
Agents and integrations
Integrations are direct wrappers around services like Google Calendar, Home Assistant, Monarch, and Intervals.icu. You can connect them straight to your AI for the raw surface. Agents compose those integrations with domain expertise and a profile of you. Dinner Planner does not just look at a recipe database. It knows your family's dietary constraints, what you ate Monday, and that Tuesday's pickup is at 5:45.
Apps that share the agent's memory
Some specialists work best as full apps with their own UI. Wealth Desk is the household ledger on top of the finance agent. World Cup Pool is a private friend-group pool on top of the pool agent. Intervals Agent is the cycling coach with workouts and form trends. Same identity, same memory, different surface.
The thesis
A small network of opinionated specialists, each with hand-authored skills and a real model of you, beats a giant catalog of shallow tools. The other bet is cross-agent synergy: Carpool Coordinator knows tonight's pickup window, so Dinner Planner suggests something that fits, then writes the meal to the family calendar. The value is in the handoffs between agents, not any single agent in isolation.
Where agents live
Agents reach you through whatever AI client you already use: Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, or any MCP client. They also live in the q5m chat, and inside the companion apps above. q5m hosts the servers, runs the auth, and keeps the profiles. The client you connect from covers the inference. q5m ships tools, not tokens.
The SDK
The companion apps share state with their agent through @q5m-ai/sdk. Identity, scoped memory, and tool invocation, in a small TypeScript surface. q5m uses it for everything that ships above. Anyone can build on it. Early, but real.
Who builds this
q5m is built and run by one person, out of 10+ years of building chatbot platforms. The agents on the platform are not demos. They're tools used daily by their own builder. The cycling coach plans real workouts on a real bike. The carpool agent coordinates real kids. The finance tools track real money. An agent ships when it has earned a place in the week, not when it fills a slot in a catalog.
