January 15, 2023 – LUMEN Solutions Office, Coyoacán
Dawn fell silent, but in the LUMEN Solutions offices, the lights on the screens shone like stars. Rodrigo sat in front of his computer, with the XochitlOS code displayed on the screen. Despite the initial success, he knew there was still much work to be done. The AI built into the operating system had shown impressive learning capabilities, but Rodrigo was determined to go further.
The idea for XochitlOS had always been more than a conventional operating system. It had been designed to learn and adapt to the user, but Rodrigo wanted something even deeper: an intelligence that not only responded to, but anticipated the user's needs. A system that felt like an extension of people, that understood their intentions even before they expressed them in words.
Xiuh, can you anticipate user usage patterns in this new editing module? —Rodrigo asked quietly, looking at the code.
"Yes, Rodrigo. By analyzing previous patterns, I can identify that 80% of users tend to make automatic adjustments to image color and brightness during their first interactions with the software. I suggest adaptive presets based on those patterns."
Rodrigo smiled, nodding slowly.
"Perfect. Let's get started. We're going to make XochitlOS not just useful, but indispensable."
January 16 – Launch of AI-Integrated Apps
With the operating system now in a stable version and the AI optimized to adapt to each user, Rodrigo decided it was time to launch the apps that would accompany XochitlOS. LUMEN was not just an operating system; it would now become a complete ecosystem spanning diverse industries. Subscribing to XochitlOS would open the door to a series of advanced apps integrated with artificial intelligence, designed to transform key sectors.
Rodrigo sat in front of his computer, opening the platform to launch the new applications:
LUMEN ImagePro: A professional image editing tool that not only adjusted images but also recognized the user's intentions, automatically adjusting saturation and contrast, and applying effects according to the style the user preferred, even if they didn't yet know it. It used computer vision algorithms and neural networks to perform automatic retouching that previously only a professional editor could do.
LUMEN FX: A special effects editor for film and television, revolutionizing the post-production industry. It combined realistic physical simulations with AI to suggest dynamic effects that adapted to the tone and style of each scene, optimizing the work of visual artists.
LUMEN Architecture: An architectural design program that not only generated plans but used AI to analyze the surrounding environment, suggest materials, optimize space layout, and even predict the impact of construction on the environment. Additionally, it integrated augmented reality to visualize designs at full scale before construction began.
LUMEN VideoPro: An intuitive video editor that learns the director's or editor's style and offers recommendations for editing, cuts, transitions, and effects, using artificial intelligence to make recommendations on how to improve the video's narrative flow.
Through the LUMEN+ subscription model, users could access these applications in stages. More advanced features were available to professional or enterprise-level subscribers, while basic users could start with simpler tools and gradually unlock more features as they progressed.
January 18 – Industry Reaction
The launch of the apps didn't go unnoticed. Tech media and the entertainment industry began analyzing the innovations Rodrigo had brought to market. LUMEN ImagePro and LUMEN FX immediately generated attention among creatives in the film industry, while LUMEN Architecture and LUMEN VideoPro attracted architects and filmmakers alike.
But the most striking response came from large tech corporations.
Microsoft, Apple, and Google began to take note. Major software companies began to closely investigate LUMEN's apps. Fundamental questions were asked: How had Rodrigo managed to develop such a distinctive operating system? How had he integrated AI so naturally and deeply? Some of their experts began theorizing about the system's hidden capabilities and internal structure.
Microsoft, which had been working on its own version of a self-driving operating system, was particularly concerned. The Windows development team devoted themselves to analyzing XochitlOS closely. Soon, rumors began to surface about an attempt to reverse engineer XochitlOS's AI.
Rodrigo was aware of these developments. Its encryption system, created specifically to protect the access keys to the Ark's genetic data and other LUMEN secrets, had been designed to resist hacking attempts.
Every line of XochitlOS code was encrypted with quantum algorithms that, for any current artificial intelligence, were impossible to break. Rodrigo smiled at the challenge. He had anticipated this reaction. If they tried to duplicate XochitlOS, they would never have access to the true essence of its system.
January 20 – Security Attacks
The day began like any other, but at noon, Rodrigo received a notification from his internal monitoring system. There had been intrusion attempts on LUMEN's servers.
Rodrigo reviewed the logs: reverse engineering attempts originating from Microsoft and Apple. XochitlOS's encryption algorithms responded mercilessly. The attackers were unable to access any sensitive data.
"Intrusion failed. The quantum protection system has negated unauthorized access. Attempts blocked."
Rodrigo breathed a sigh of relief. He knew the big players wouldn't give up easily, but there was no way they could penetrate the system, at least not without him knowing.
January 22 – Recurring Revenue and Expansion
LUMEN Solutions' apps began generating substantial revenue, as Rodrigo had planned. The monthly subscription to XochitlOS and its complementary apps, such as LUMEN ImagePro and LUMEN VideoPro, began to form a source of recurring revenue for the company.
Rodrigo saw the numbers rising, but he also knew this was just the beginning. LUMEN wasn't just creating technology, it was transforming entire industries. And it did so without anyone being able to see what was really behind it all: the secret purpose of the Ark and the legacy it was building for future generations.
Meanwhile, large companies were trying to understand the code of XochitlOS, not realizing that the real secret wasn't on the surface. Rodrigo knew that LUMEN's future didn't depend on competing with Microsoft or Apple, but on something much bigger. The digital world wasn't ready for what XochitlOS could do.
