About

Our mission is to empower humans in an age of AI by building tools that give every person the power to shape their digital world.

We're building toward a future where AI agents can be built and modified by anyone—beginning with Sculptor, our coding agent environment.

We believe this will move us toward a world where collective human interests stay at the helm, and the power of technology cannot be controlled by a select few.

Things we believe

The future is human. We believe humans will always be the driving force of creative innovation, and AI agents should help us actualize our ideas. We are committed to building tools that keep humans in the driver's seat, and allow us to live and work more meaningfully.

Your data belongs to you. We believe that no platform or company should decide how your data is accessed. You get to choose where your data goes, and what it's used for.

Transparency is critical. We believe that agent behavior should be visible and modifiable. As we rely on AI agents more and more, you deserve visibility into how the agents run—with code you can inspect, test, and modify.

Foster collaboration, not exploitation. We're building toward an open software ecosystem where contributors share in the value they create. If your code generates profit for a business, we believe you should be rewarded for your contributions.

Agents should belong to you. We believe agents should be loyal to you, not to external incentives. We want to create a future where you don't have to be a programmer to build and modify your own AI agents that can carry out your goals.
