CAS Bot

CAS Bot is an AI assistant being developed by the Computer Arts Archive CIC and Interact Digital Arts to support the CAS Committee (CASCOM) in the development and management of the Computer Arts Society website and knowledge base. It helps prepare website content, including writing text summaries and generating video transcripts. It also helps classify and cross-reference incoming materials and sends email updates to CAS members. CAS Bot only uses material from CAS’s own database when producing text. Its outputs are clearly marked with an “AI generated” message or labelled “CAS Bot”. So far it seems to be accurate, but remember, AI-generated text can contain errors and should be checked against the original sources.

Technically, CAS Bot is an AI agent running on the Hermes platform. It uses open-weight AI models via Ollama and is managed by Sean Clark’s Agent Cuttlefish platform. CAS Bot works with other local AI agents, including the Summariser, Server Bot, Octopus AI Search and Agent Cuttlefish itself. All content is held on a private network, with only small chunks passed to cloud AI models for processing. CAS Bot normally publishes updates to the CAS website on Wednesdays and Sundays.
