Aum Golly 3: Perfectly Fine Poems on Humanity by Artificial Intelligence
Aum Golly 3: Perfectly Fine Poems on Humanity by Artificial Intelligence is the third book in Jukka Aalho’s Aum Golly series. Created on 29 November 2025 and published on 18 December 2025, it was produced in an eight-hour, time-boxed session using an agentic multi-model workflow in which AI systems acted as writers, critics, editors, ideators, and translators.
Background and creation
Aum Golly 3 was built with a multi-agent pipeline—Generator → Critic → Editor → Continuity—combining several large language models (including GPT-5, Claude Sonnet/Opus, and Gemini 3 Pro). The system was designed to iterate, branch, and converge under strict time and budget controls. A Streamlit UI managed prompts, model mixing, cost tracking, and job orchestration. The text was conceived, refined, and translated within eight hours.
Content and themes
The book’s central theme is “how well can we ever really know another person?” It also poses a broader question: Is this the moment when AI poetry moved beyond “AI poetry” and into art?
Poems were shaped through successive rounds of AI critique and human curation, in forms ranging from haiku and sonnet to free verse. The focus is on human concerns—connections, love and family—rendered through a rapid, collaborative process that merges analysis and intuition.

Significance
Aum Golly 3 extends the series from single-model co-writing to coordinated, role-based collaboration between multiple AI systems and a human editor. It serves as a case study in agentic literary workflows—where generation, critique, and revision are distributed across specialized AI agents—and contributes to debates on authorship, creativity, and the aesthetics of machine-assisted literature.
