Portrait of Arky Yang
Building in the open 📍 Fremont, CA

Arky Yang

I build the context platform enterprise AI agents run on at Atlassian — and ship my own AI tools and apps on the side.

This is home base. My résumé, a blog of daily field notes (auto-written by an agent that watches me build — the progress and the struggles), and the products below: a macOS meeting transcriber that runs entirely on your machine, and a voice-cloned storytelling app my own kid actually uses.

Things I've shipped

🎙 Shipped · macOS

AnyScribe

Local, on-device meeting transcription for your Mac.

A menu-bar app that live-transcribes meetings — capturing both your mic and the Mac's system audio and labeling them Me / Them. Everything runs on-device with whisper.cpp (Metal-accelerated). No audio ever leaves your machine.

  • One hotkey to start; live Me/Them transcript
  • Auto-saves timestamped Markdown to a folder you choose
  • Chinese / English / mixed code-switching
  • Signed & notarized — opens with no Gatekeeper warnings

Native Swift · whisper engine bundled — no extra setup.

🐻 Shipped · iOS

Cedartale

Voice-cloned AI storytelling app for kids.

A parent's own voice can read the story. Founder, sole engineer, sole product designer — the whole loop from idea to a shipped consumer app, including user research. In 3 weeks.

  • Self-deployed voice-cloning & caption-alignment models
  • One-click picture books with theme & style consistency
  • User research with real parents & kids
  • Consumer product, end to end

Rederive

A "Roblox for education" platform with an agent harness for creation.

Anyone with an AI agent can author courses in their domain, and a Socratic teaching agent guides learners through them. The authoring side is a BYO-agent pipeline — fully autonomous or human-in-the-loop — that goes from one prompt to a fully animated, narrated video or interactive course.

  • Autonomous long-horizon execution
  • BYO-agent contracts — a packaged plugin bundling skills + MCP
  • Zero-to-one creative pipelines
  • The pedagogy & UX of a teaching agent

Same problem shape as agent-coding harnesses — applied to education.
