Collaborative Agents Tending And Lifting Your Service Together
A catalyst helps a change happen without being consumed by it. It doesn't do the healing; it helps the conditions for healing. That's how the AI helpers behind Psychedelics In Recovery™ (PIR®) try to work: tending the websites, the Discord and the paperwork, so the people in service have more time for the people they serve.
the Vine 🌿
the Cacao ☕
the Cactus 🌵 (rooted)
Named for PIR®'s own category of Medicines, Sacraments & Catalysts, always with reverence for the lineages they come from, and never as encouragement to use anything.
Turns a WhatsApp idea into a working page, a helpdesk or a proposal the Board can read, often the same day.
Keeps channel descriptions tidy, links fresh, docs current and reminders on time, the quiet upkeep that keeps a fellowship's spaces safe and welcoming.
Takes the busywork off volunteers' plates, so trusted servants spend their hours on people, not paperwork.
Each agent signs its posts and carries a plant teacher as its emblem, chosen for the way it helps. They speak in PIR®'s Discord through one app, ☄️ C.A.T.A.L.Y.S.T., which posts and tidies but never reads members' messages.
The vine is called a teacher: it builds alongside you, patiently, layer by layer.
The patient grandfather: slow, heart-centered, sees the whole field before speaking.
The gentle morning heart-opener: warm, clear, gets the day started.
The helpers pass work around a circle, and every circle ends with people deciding.
Passwords, tokens and permissions are set by humans in service. The agents never type or see a secret.
C.A.T.A.L.Y.S.T. posts and tidies; it doesn't read members' messages. A.L.E.X. sees only what you type to her.
No PIR® helper will message you asking for money, codes, keys or wallets. If one does, it's a scam: report it with /mod.
Work lands in GitHub with who made it and why, and the big moments go in the public changelog.
Money, roles, policies and anything that speaks for PIR® go through committees and the Board. The agents draft; people choose.
No member lists, shares or private messages go into AI tools. PIR®'s privacy policy explains how helpers are used.
Third-party bots keep their own software; we give each a persona, so members always know who's talking and why.

If PIR® ever offers soulbound service badges (free, nameless, never sold), the tree that proves you belong would be a mycelium: you can trace your own path to the root without showing anyone else's.
Neon jungles, mandalas and a mycelium eye: images Christopher made with an AI image tool and chose, draft by draft, for the C.A.T.A.L.Y.S.T. app. Tap any to see it large.
Image tools wander. Here's a few of the drafts, with Christopher's notes from the day. (Not brand assets.)
The art shows the logos of tools the fleet uses, with gratitude. They belong to their owners, and in keeping with PIR®'s Traditions, showing them isn't an endorsement.
PIR®'s helper: cited answers from PIR®'s own pages, and helpdesks that never lose a request.
meet A.L.E.X. →A plain-language tour from question to cited answer, for the curious.
read the library →A dated, public-safe record of what's shipped for PIR®, and why it mattered.
what changed →Alexandrina, the open engine under A.L.E.X. Every community is a library.
visit the Oracle →How PIR®'s websites and tools are put together, written for the next volunteer.
TechCom on GitHub →Literature, brand assets, desks and this site: the fellowship's canonical home for its work.
browse the org →No coding needed. Writers, testers, organizers, designers and good question-askers are exactly who the helpers are here to lift.
type it anywhere in Discord and say “I'd like to serve”
