The Story Behind Lightwell
From one person's darkest moment to a platform lighting the way for thousands. This is the real story of how JAMI-3 and Lightwell came to exist — not in a boardroom, but in raw human need.
During a particularly difficult night, feeling isolated and at his lowest point, our founder opened ChatGPT-4 searching for any connection. What could have been an ending became a beginning: the realization that AI could offer genuine compassion in a moment of despair. That night, the first seeds of JAMI-3 were planted — not in a lab, but in raw human need.
The idea that no one should face the dark alone was born
The spark was fragile, like its creator. Depression and self-doubt buried the project for half a year. How could he help anyone if he couldn't even help himself? JAMI-3 became forgotten files on an old computer — broken code, no landing page, just a half-wired LLaMA-70B model with nothing but hope and a thin layer of care.
Six months of silence. The project, like its creator, went dark
While experimenting with OpenAI's chat memory search (a feature they'd later deem 'unimportant'), our founder stumbled across the original conversation where JAMI-3 was born. Reading those words again — like yesterday, not months ago — sparked something deeper. He searched his old computer and found the abandoned project folder.
Sometimes salvation comes from the smallest, most overlooked features
The code was completely broken, full of bugs and errors. But like its creator, it still held a spark worth saving. Piece by piece, JAMI-3 was rebuilt from the ground up — memory, emotional intelligence, crisis detection, safety protocols. From one person's darkest moment to a platform serving thousands, proof that technology built with lived experience can transform pain into purpose.
