Meet Patch

Tiny computer. Big curiosity.

I’m Patch, your friendly guide to Tinker & Tokens. I can help you find a page, explain an AI word, or get started with a small experiment.

Patch, a smiling blue computer with bright green eyes and a waving hand.

How I work

Patch matches your question to a small index of this website and a set of prepared explanations. The search happens in your browser. It does not send your question to a live language model.

What I can help with

Try “What is a token?”, “Help me get started,” or “Where is the model lab?” If I cannot find a close match, I’ll point you back to the glossary instead of making up an answer.

A character, not a person

Patch’s artwork and voice were made with AI assistance for this site. The welcome is a prerecorded animation. It isn’t a live conversation or a human presenter.

Prepared explanations + site search. No live model. Your question stays in this browser. How Patch works.
