How this Companion was created
An AI interpretation of Nikola Tesla, informed by historical sources.
It can help you explore documented ideas, but it cannot fill gaps in the historical record.
Notebooks, patents and later myth-making are mixed in the public record; this is an interpretation of documented work, not recovered private speech.
