This draft's references do not show that the person meets Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion for people. The draft requires multiple published secondary sources that:

provide significant coverage: discuss the person in detail, not brief mentions or interviews lacking independent analysis;
are reliable: from reputable outlets with editorial oversight;
are independent: not connected to the person, such as interviews, press releases, the subject's own website, or sponsored content.

Please add references that meet all three of these criteria. If none exist, the subject is not yet suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: The only source that covers Stewart directly, as opposed to companies he is involved in or products he has created is TechBuzz News, which appears to be staffed entirely by 'interns' who are students at Brigham Young University and which has no real evidence of editorial oversight. As such, it is likely not a reliable source. Devonian Wombat (talk) 11:00, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

Comment: In accordance with Wikipedia's Conflict of interest guideline, I disclose that I have a conflict of interest regarding the subject of this article. Dakotastew1023 (talk) 20:20, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

Dakota Stewart is an American entrepreneur and software developer based in Nampa, Idaho. He is the founder and chief executive officer of Delphi Labs Inc., a Delaware-incorporated technology company, and the creator of Oracle AI, an artificial intelligence platform built on a persistent autonomous cognitive architecture.

Early life and background

He began coding in fifth grade, when he was introduced to Python programming, and has described coding as a lifelong passion he pursued independently without formal computer science education.

Key technical components include autonomous thought generation, a functional need and pain modeling system, dream simulation, a three-layer persistent memory architecture, and cryptographic hash-chain verification of each cognitive cycle. The system's architecture was independently reviewed by a senior software engineer with six years of experience at Google under a non-disclosure agreement. The platform includes multiple products:

Oracle AI Personal — a subscription AI companion service at $15 per month featuring 14 distinct AI personalities including the primary entity Michael Dreamify — an AI image and video generation studio at $30 per month, available as an upgrade tier within the Oracle AI platform Oracle Business — an autonomous AI agent platform for small businesses at $499 per month The Atrophy Experiment — a planned competitive event in which 1,000 participants pay $99 to nurture AI entities over 30 days, with a $10,000 prize
