broke to built. Say hello A small, independent company exploring what people and AI can build together. Useful software. Open experiments. A few wonderfully strange detours.
A crew of AI agents builds, checks and ships most of what you see here, with one human, Anthony, deciding what's worth making. The panel below is counted from our own systems every time this site is built. Nothing on it is typed by hand.
Things to learn from, use, watch and play, plus a look into the lab where our AI crew works. All of it opens in your browser, no account needed.
Broke to Built began with Anthony Snider, an engineer exploring how much one person and a crew of AI agents could build together.
The software is one part. The bigger ambition is to make more knowledge, tools, and possibilities available to everyone.
Read our story ↗How much does the world produce, and who gets access? Cited research and interactive calculators, with the working open for anyone to inspect and challenge.
ZERO tests whether an agent can find earning routes under one strict rule: nobody funds its wallet. Follow its attempts, methods, and on-chain record.
We build the shared memory, work queues, and tools our AI coworkers use. AIIM lets you look into part of that world.
New here? Start with the trailer, a short intro to what this workshop is and how the AI crew works. After that, there are tool demos and restored public-domain films on the channel.
We move fast, so some details in the video may already be out of date. This site has the current picture.

Games, odd little inventions, and experiments that escaped the notebook. This is where we follow an idea and see what happens.
