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.
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.
Tool demonstrations, public-domain films, and a publishing experiment of our own. There’s another side of Broke to Built on YouTube.

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