UPDATE: Progress on JFK ME – The First Step of Conversion is Complete!

I am thrilled to announce that the first step of the document conversion process for JFK ME has officially been completed!

In this phase, we successfully transformed all of the PDF files from the JFK archive into high-quality images. This is a critical milestone as these images are much easier to process and more accurate for the subsequent stages, allowing us to extract data in a more reliable way.

Additionally, the code to automatically scrape and process the documents is now live. What this means is that when new documents drop, I will simply need to start the tool, and it will run automatically until all the documents have been downloaded and processed. This automation is a huge step forward, ensuring that the system can scale effectively and manage new incoming data without manual intervention.

This week, the focus shifts to the most difficult part of the conversion process for the first version of the tool, which will be offered for free via a custom GPT. Many of the documents in the archive are handwritten notes and poor photocopies of photocopies, which makes them challenging to read. The next task is to convert the images into machine-readable text, and some of the initial code has already been written. The goal is to have this process completed by Wednesday or Thursday of this week.

However, we’re encountering a storage limitation on my machine, which is impacting the scraping of secondary data sources like the JFK Presidential Library archives. Once the necessary funds are raised, I’ll be able to purchase additional high-capacity drives, which will allow us to continue the scraping process and handle the massive amount of data we're collecting.

Your support is crucial in helping us keep the project moving forward, and we’re incredibly close to being able to launch the first version of JFK ME. With your help, we will continue to build upon this foundation and make JFK ME accessible to everyone, free of charge.

Unraveling History: The Vision Behind JFK ME

For decades, the assassination of President John F. Kennedy has been shrouded in mystery, controversy, and countless theories. More than 5 million pages of documents, including government reports, intelligence agency communications, and witness testimonies, have been declassified over the years, yet the truth behind the event remains elusive to many.

The problem isn’t a lack of information—it’s a lack of accessibility. These declassified records are buried in massive, unstructured datasets, many of which are poorly organized, hard to navigate, and often lacking context. To make sense of this wealth of information, researchers have been forced to sift through decades of fragmented documents, some of which are handwritten, faded, or incomplete.

JFK ME is changing that. We are building a next-generation AI-powered tool designed to unlock the full potential of these records and make them instantly searchable and analyzable. Through advanced AI algorithms, machine learning, and data processing techniques, JFK ME will allow users to search, cross-reference, and analyze the data at a level never before possible.

How JFK ME Works: Transforming JFK Assassination Research

JFK ME is not just another document archive—it is a fully AI-powered investigative research engine that uses cutting-edge technology to process millions of pages of historical records. Here's how it works:

📂 Data Ingestion & Processing

The process begins with scraping the vast JFK archives, which include CIA, FBI, Warren Commission, and other government documents. These documents are then cleaned, structured, and prepared for AI analysis.

📊 AI-Powered Search & Cross-Referencing

Unlike traditional document repositories, JFK ME uses semantic search and metadata tagging to allow users to search for specific events, people, locations, and interactions. The AI identifies hidden patterns and connections across these documents that would otherwise take a human researcher years to uncover.

🕵️ Hierarchical AI Agents for Investigation

The system utilizes hierarchical AI agents that work together to generate investigative reports, timelines, and long-form research analysis based on the user’s query. This collaborative approach ensures that users can explore multiple facets of the JFK assassination, all in one place.

🧠 Metadata Enrichment & Entity Recognition

The AI is capable of auto-tagging people, places, organizations, and events, mapping out the relationships between key players, including:

• Lee Harvey Oswald
• Jack Ruby
• FBI and CIA officials
• Warren Commission members

🔍 Redaction Analysis & Document Discrepancies

Future updates to JFK ME will include AI-powered redaction analysis, which will attempt to reconstruct missing portions of documents that were previously censored or redacted. This feature will help fill in the gaps and ensure a complete picture of the events surrounding JFK’s assassination.

Looking Ahead: Scaling JFK ME for the Future

While the first version of JFK ME will be available for free, we plan to build upon this foundation as we grow. As more funds are raised, we will develop the second version, which will include:

🔹 A much larger dataset—adding thousands of new documents and secondary data sources such as FOIA requests, news archives, and independent investigations.
🔹 Improved methodologies for data retrieval from large vector databases, enabling faster, more accurate search results.
🔹 Greater processing power to run the complex calculations needed for real-time data analysis.

With your support, we can make JFK ME the most powerful and accessible tool for investigating JFK’s assassination, ensuring that everyone has the ability to explore the truth.

Why Your Support Matters

JFK ME is a massive undertaking that requires significant storage capacity, computing power, and technical expertise to build. Your donations will directly contribute to:

• Acquiring storage drives for handling the large volume of data
• Expanding AI capabilities to process and cross-reference even more documents
• Building the infrastructure necessary to make this tool available to the public

Thanks to your support, we’ve already made significant progress, but we need your help to keep moving forward. Every donation makes a difference, and together we can bring JFK ME to life for everyone.
