User and Claude collaborate to build functional operating system from scratch

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user collaborated with Claude to develop a functional operating system, dubbed EMBER, from scratch over several days. The process involved iterative development, where the user would define goals, Claude would implement them, and the user would test on real hardware, identify failures, and refine the process. EMBER now includes a graphical environment, hardware support for keyboard, mouse, and touch, a file manager, audio playback, and compatibility with DOS software, including full Sound Blaster and PC speaker emulation.
