Polaris, so far
How I work with a team of AI agents to understand my case: what Polaris does, what it leaves as a draft and what I sign off myself.

I have a rare breast cancer. Ultra-rare, actually, and metastatic. My tumor has two sides, and the standard protocols don't really account for that.
So I had to go further and find out what my real options were.
I'm an engineer. I built Polaris because I needed it. It's a team of AI agents with one written goal: N-E-D. No evidence of disease. And nothing leaves the system without my sign-off.
What it's helped me with most is getting to know my own tumor. Understanding it, and even seeing it.
It turned my scans into 3D maps of my lesions. I used the bone map to help choose which one to biopsy.
Every day, it searches for trials all over the world, and turns up options I wouldn't have found on my own.
On the practical side, it helps me work out how my samples get to the labs, sort through the messages people send me, and plan my trips for treatment. It takes so much off my plate.
It even helped me build the website where I share all of it.
And honestly, a lot more that I'm forgetting right now.
It doesn't decide. My doctors do. But I walk into my appointments understanding my own case.
We're still going for N-E-D.
