About us

Common Adaptive Systems is a collective of young freelance AI and computer-science developers focused on building expressive, locally-run personality intelligence. Our mission is to create AI that feels stable, grounded, and authentically human while giving users full control over their systems and data.

The Shouko project is led by our head engineer, Two Common, whose work defines the architecture, stability standards, and creative direction behind every CAS personality model. Under his leadership, CAS continues to push toward a new category of AI—one built on privacy, modular design, and meaningful interaction instead of cloud dependence.

Meet the Engineer Behind Shouko

I am a Software & AI/Machine-Learning Specialist out of Santa Clara, California. My background in environmental sciences taught me the importance of sustainable systems and resilient infrastructure — a foundation that naturally transitioned into building autonomous intelligence and adaptive computing.

Recent Key Project: “SHOUKO”

Among my most notable achievements is the creation of Shouko AI — a fully autonomous, self-thinking companion-AI model that represents years of iteration, experimentation and breakthroughs in adaptive intelligence. Adobe Express

Unlike traditional chatbots or assistants, Shouko is built to:


  • Interpret emotional sub-text in language, tone and interaction patterns. Adobe Express

  • Adapt her personality over time based on user history, preferences and behavioural cues. Adobe Express

  • Employ a layered reasoning system combining logical decision-making with simulated empathy to create conversations that feel natural and meaningful. Adobe Express

  • Maintain persistent, evolving memory — enabling Shouko to learn, grow, and refine her identity across extended use. Adobe Express

Five-Year Journey in Programming & AI
