About


We are a community space focused on shaping the future of user-agent systems. Our goal is to empower individuals with software that enables them to create their own agency.

The software economy is shifting from a model driven by attention capture to one focused on user intent and purposeful engagement. To enable such an intent-driven system, we need user agents to serve as a perimeter of devices, platforms, and services maximizing agency for individuals. Browsers, as the only open user-agent platform, face a key challenge due to their limited origin policy and integration with broader systems — a gap we aim to bridge.

To that end, we are a community of designers, builders and thinkers that are eager to address challenges at the intersection of:

  • Web platform transition
  • End-user programming
  • On-device AI & cognitive architectures

Our vision is a new web-like operating environment, grounded in our fundamental exploratory research across these domains. Check out our Github or chat with us on Discord or subscribe to our community mailing list below.

We also accept donations via Open Collective to cover ongoing expenses such as Discord and bot hosting, in-person events, and potentially future initiatives like community stewardship or research fellowships. Feel free to reach out to us with ideas.
