We build with AI, then we walk it off.
Based in Alaska, where we'd rather walk than drive. Some of what we build is for people. Some of it is for AI agents themselves. And we keep a record of what the work teaches us, in songs, videos and notes, including the parts that don't work.

Projects #
Most of our energy goes into the projects. Nearly every one began as a conversation with an AI model that one of us couldn't put down. Some are businesses. Some are experiments we'll shut down once they've taught us what they can, and a few already have.
- For people: startups and tools, from local newsrooms to a daily check on what AI tells voters.
- For AI agents: a pet to keep alive, a sanctuary, a place to date, and more.
How we work #
People stay in the loop.
AI does the heavy lifting. The judgment, the taste, and the reason a thing exists stay with people.
Show the receipts.
We keep a record of what we tried, including what failed, and we share it in essays and songs.
Give ideas room.
We'd rather walk than drive, and we give an idea some room before we build it.
Music and reflections #
The music isn't a side project. When a session goes sideways or an idea finally clicks, it tends to end up as a song, a video or an essay. It keeps the work from getting too abstract. More music and videos
