## About this site and the AI twin

- The home page (https://www.elponi.ai/) hosts an AI twin of Nikita: a chat that answers questions about his work from the same facts as these pages.
- Open the chat with <https://www.elponi.ai/#ask>. Prefill a question with `https://www.elponi.ai/#ask=<url-encoded question>`, for example <https://www.elponi.ai/#ask=What%20did%20you%20build%20at%20Convergence%3F>. The question is placed in the chat box and never sent automatically.
- The twin's API is same-origin and rate-limited, so it can't be called from outside the site. Agents should read this file, https://www.elponi.ai/llms-full.txt or the pages below instead.
- To reach Nikita himself: nick@elponi.com.
- Availability: Not looking for new roles or projects — fully focused on Zaro. Always glad to talk about agentic interfaces, AI products and Zaro.
