About

We are a community focused on shaping the future of user-agent systems. Our goal is to empower people by designing and building software that provides agency, control, and choice in our digital lives.

We are exploring three areas we believe to be foundational to the future of user-agent systems:

Web Platform Change — Rethinking browsers, capabilities, and protocols
End-User Programming — Meta-applications for adaptive, emergent, and ephemeral software
User-Centered AI — Private and local cognitive augmentation and architectures

Check out our GitHub, chat with us on Discord, or follow us on Bluesky.

We are a non-profit community and accept donations via Open Collective. All funds go towards community Discord hosting, in-person events, and research fellowships.
