We build tools that put software under your control
Today, the software and agents in our lives don’t work for us—they work for the company that built them. Closed platforms lock you into their ecosystems, limit what you can do, and serve their incentives over yours.
We're building the alternative: an open agent ecosystem where you can understand, modify, and verify your agents, so they work only in your interest.
Our mission
Built by people who care, for people who build
We founded Imbue in 2021 to build an AGI future where humans remain at the helm, shaping powerful AI systems rather than being subordinated to them.

Work from our office
We open Imbue's San Francisco space to small teams building honest or punk software: tools that are loyal to users, not platforms. Free for the right fit.

We aim to increase human agency in the world, beginning with how we work: with radical openness, freedom, choice, and play. We’re looking for people who build from first principles, question the status quo, and operate with conviction and care.
