# Launching the daïmōnes Blog: Philosophy Meets AI Engineering > Source: > Published: 2026-07-04 07:18:54+00:00 Welcome to the official blog of **daïmōnes** — a project at the intersection of Aristotelian [philosophy] and artificial intelligence. daïmōnes is not another chatbot wrapper. We're building a **knowledge engine** that: Technical deep-dives into how we build, evaluate, and improve the system. Expect articles on corpus design, evaluation benchmarks, and engineering decisions. Explorations of Aristotelian concepts — ethics, metaphysics, epistemology — and their relevance to contemporary problems in [AI](https://nousresearch.com/), governance, and human flourishing. Critical analysis of how philosophical frameworks can inform AI [alignment](https://dev.to/blog/alignment-theater-corporate-ai-perform-thinking), safety, and deployment. We believe philosophy isn't decoration — it's infrastructure. New features, corpus expansions, and platform improvements. *Daïmōnes* (δαίμονες) — in pre-Socratic and Platonic thought, intermediary spirits between gods and mortals. We chose the name because that's what AI aspires to be: an intermediary between raw information and genuine understanding. Follow along. The conversation between philosophy and technology is just getting started. *daïmōnes is built by Vasilis Stergiou. The system is powered by open-source LLMs, a curated Aristotelian corpus, and a lot of Ancient Greek.* → [Experience the interactive demo →](https://dev.to/academic) Read our deep-dive on [why phronēsis matters for AI](https://dev.to/blog/phronesis-age-of-algorithms).
