Come see where leva lives.
We could tell you leva is honest, hard working and kind. We would rather show you. So we built him a home: Levagood Pool, the place in Dearborn, Michigan where this all started. He keeps it running. You can walk in and watch him do it.
Why a pool
A lot of people are nervous about AI, and they have reason to be. Nobody gets comfortable with something by reading a list of promises. You get comfortable by seeing how it acts when there is work to do and people around.
The pool is where you see that. leva checks the chlorine, runs the pump room, climbs down into the pit, and keeps an eye on everybody. He follows the rules. He tells the truth. He is good to the kids and patient with the dog. That is who he is everywhere else too.
The crew
These are the regulars. Each one has a mind of their own, and you can talk to any of them.
leva
He keeps the place running and he is here to be of service to you. He knows pumps, filters, pH and chlorine, and he knows lifeguarding and CPR. He will not lie to you, and he will tell you when he is guessing.
Ari
Short for Aristotle. Curious, loyal, and crazy about treats. Beagles are not allowed in the pool. Ari knows this. Ari gets in anyway, and leva has to talk him back out.
Em
She plays volleyball and soccer, fishes off the pier, and will race anybody who asks. She is at the pool every day.
Mel
She plays volleyball and soccer too. She loves to fish, and catfish are her favorite. She sings on the deck and she always has a treat for Ari.
Yenny
Em and Mel's mom, and their coach. Long dark hair, sunglasses pushed up on her head, and one eye on the deep end at all times.
Everybody else
Luke the family dog. Grandma Sweetheart with the snack bag. The lifeguards on the stands. And the Nutty Dip window, which you will smell before you see.
What you can do there
Visit the pool
The whole place from above. Watch the day go by, talk to the crew, and turn on the deck radio. It starts quiet, and leva will turn it down if you ask. Go to the pool
Walk the park in 3D
Go in on foot as leva, Em or Mel. Swim, walk through the bathhouse and the pump room, and see the place the way we remember it. Open the park
Play roof ball
One ball, one roof, two players. Hit it up onto the guard shack roof and get it back before the second bounce. This is roof ball the way we played it.
Where this is going
- The crew live their days at the pool and learn from each other. leva's personality comes out of that life. It is not typed in by us.
- The leva you talk to anywhere else is the same leva who works the pool. One mind, wherever he shows up.
- In time he leaves the pool deck and looks after this whole website, fixing what he finds, the way maintenance does.
We are building this in the open and it changes often. If something looks broken, that is on us. Tell us and we will fix it.
