Jonathan Kyle Hobson is a UX researcher, product strategist, and AI tool builder with 10+ years of experience across design, storytelling, and emerging technology. He holds a master's degree in User Experience from Arizona State University.
Kyle builds the Compass Suite to make high-quality AI-assisted review more concrete, evidence-bound, and useful for people doing real work under real constraints.
Why the Compass Suite exists
The Compass Suite gives AI assistants narrower jobs and stronger boundaries. Instead of asking a model to generally critique everything, each Compass focuses the work: reasoning, prompt design, UX review, or another bounded workflow.
What makes the tools different
The public Compasses are local-first, evidence-aware, and designed around explicit validation. They are not magic judges. They are structured helpers that make the review process easier to inspect, repeat, and improve.
Official release boundary
Official Compass releases are published by Jonathan Kyle Hobson through the linked public pages and GitHub repos. Modified forks should keep attribution, but they should not present themselves as official Compass Suite releases.
