About
A fictional lab, a real project.
Waypoint Labs was invented for a university cloud computing course. The goal was to build a small static website and deploy it securely on AWS with help from a team of AI agents.
How it is put together.
The pages are plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript with original illustrations. Files are stored in a private Amazon S3 bucket and delivered through Amazon CloudFront, which handles HTTPS with a certificate from AWS Certificate Manager. Amazon Route 53 answers DNS for the domain.
A set of AI agents helped plan the work, review the site, prepare deployment plans, verify the live configuration and diagnose a deliberate failure. A person approved every infrastructure change.
Frequently asked questions
Is Waypoint Labs a real company?
No. It is a fictional company created for a student project. Any resemblance to a real organization is coincidental, and nothing is sold here.
Is the playground a real learning algorithm?
Yes. It runs tabular Q-learning in your browser. It is deliberately tiny so you can watch it learn in seconds.
Does this site collect any data about me?
No. There are no analytics, cookies, forms or third-party scripts, and the demo never sends anything over the network.
How is the site kept secure?
The storage bucket is private and can only be read by this site's CloudFront distribution. Visitors are redirected to HTTPS, and response headers restrict framing, content types and script sources. These settings are checked by an automated validation run.
What did the AI agents actually do?
Separate agents planned tasks, inspected the site files, prepared deployment plans, ran verification checks and proposed fixes when a check failed. They could only use a fixed set of tools and could not approve their own changes.
Can I use the site with a keyboard?
Yes. Use Tab to move between links and controls, Enter or Space to activate them, and the arrow keys to switch concepts on the Research page. A skip link at the top jumps to the main content.
