# Stan Girard
Creator of Quivr building open-source GenAI tools and practical infrastructure.

## About

Stan Girard builds open-source generative AI tools, most notably Quivr, a personal assistant that functions as an AI-powered second brain.

He focuses on the practical realities of integrating LLMs, embeddings, and generative features into applications. Because AI requests can take seconds rather than the usual milliseconds, his work examines how to optimize infrastructure, improve user experience, and keep cloud bills from spiraling out of control.

He documents his engineering process and writes guides for other developers at [primates.dev](https://primates.dev).
