# Coke Ex Machina

**Year:** 2026  
**Category:** Research  
**Tags:** Narrative Agent, Experimental, Research, Simulation  

An experimental agent that operates a vending machine — and reads business books. The agent accumulates knowledge from management literature at the context and memory level (no fine-tuning, no post-training), then applies it to operational decisions in real time. An edge experiment in post-training knowledge integration and grounded agent behavior.
