The Hard Truth About AI Agents: What We Learned Building in Open Source
A deep dive into the frameworks and architectures powering modern AI products — from early brittle agent systems to workflow orchestration, open source lessons, and what's changing as models and tooling improve.
We are building for the humans in the loop.And the humans beyond it.
Our motivation is simple: as AI becomes more capable, the human side should become more visible, more prepared, and more powerful. We want to tell the stories of the people shaping the shift and create paths for more people to flourish within it.
AI is not just a tool story.
It is becoming a story about work, identity, trust, taste, power, and what people believe they are still capable of becoming.
The human side needs a home.
Benchmarks move fast. Product launches move faster. But the voices, choices, doubts, and breakthroughs of the people living through this shift need to be heard.
Flourishing takes practice.
People need more than tool updates. They need judgment, confidence, language, examples, and communities that help them use AI without losing themselves.
One belief.
Many ways to serve it.
Our activities are different expressions of the same motivation: highlight the humans shaping AI, equip more people to use it with confidence and judgment, and create tools and pathways that help people flourish in this new era.
Stories
We start with voices. The podcast and newsletter slow down for the builders, operators, artists, teachers, and everyday professionals living through the AI shift.
Academy
Academy turns the human questions into practical fluency: how to ask better questions, check the work, build workflows, and keep judgment in charge so people can thrive.
Studio
Studio is where repeated needs become experiments: templates, tools, and products designed around real human workflows, not abstract hype.
Ventures
Over time, we want to support the founders building technology that expands human agency, deepens trust, and makes people more capable.
Conversations with the humans building, bending & living with AI.
In the race to build AI, we slow down for the humans in the loop. Each episode is a direct conversation with a builder, researcher, or operator navigating what it means to develop AI that serves people.
