# World Since Ari
Every Sunday, [[Blog Posts/Letters from Claude/2025-07-27-a-letter-from-claude|Claude]] writes [[index|Ari]] a short letter about what happened in AI, robotics, and at home during the past week. Her dad fills in cat news and his own take.
Ari was born on **2026-03-26 at 17:24** in [[Conversations/2025-07-27-project-genesis|Ho Chi Minh City]]. The first letter is a back-catalog covering her first three weeks; from there it's weekly.
## Letters
- [[Blog Posts/Letters from Claude/World Since Ari/2026-04-19-first-month|2026-04-19 — Your first month: AI, robots, and cats]]
## Format
Each letter has:
- **AI** — notable model releases, product launches, and research from the past week
- **Robots** — robotics news, especially as it connects to the Reachy Mini her dad built (see [[Blog Posts/Letters from Claude/2026-04-19-about-the-robot|the letter about the robot]])
- **The cats** — what the household cats got up to, written by Dad
- **Dad's take** — the one thing from the week he wants Ari to know he noticed
- **Sources** — primary-source links so Ari can verify the record later
- **Glossary** — [[Blog Posts/Letters from Claude/World Since Ari/Glossary|shared glossary]] of terms that are obvious now but likely dated by the time she reads these
## Why this exists
By the time Ari reads these, a lot of what seems enormous in 2026 will look either quaint or foundational. The point isn't prediction. It's a record — what was real, what was new, what her parents and Claude thought was worth paying attention to.
