Running a changemaker network? Working on systems change? We are building the tools you need to unlock your full impact potential.
You are using tools designed for commerce to run networks.
You are using tools designed for extraction to support regeneration.
You hook together ten tools — and they still don't do what you want.
You see the potential for AI to unlock far greater impact.
The systems running our economies, our institutions and our infrastructure weren't designed for the world they're now operating in. The damage isn't a bug — it's the consequence of incentives, structures and feedback loops we built decades ago.
The people doing the long work of transforming those systems deserve tools shaped to the actual shape of that work.
The world is complex — non-linear, uncertain, emergent. For decades our instruments were built for a different world: dashboards, CRMs and gantt charts that break problems down, optimize the parts and ship the output. Useful for machines. Insufficient for living systems.
The people working on changing complex systems navigate a sea of information across dozens of stakeholders, hold plural truths and ways of knowing, and make decisions whose consequences won't be legible for a decade. Their craft is sensemaking, synthesis and weaving — exactly the kind of work AI, built carefully, can catalyze and amplify.
So we build the instruments. As a studio. Releasing four to six products a year, each co-owned with a partner who lives the problem.
Eighty people in your network. Three working groups. A strategy memo rewritten four times because the field keeps shifting under it. The relationships are real but invisible; the politics are real and unwritten. Most of your job is keeping a map nobody else has.
A pipeline tracked across three spreadsheets, an inbox, and a CRM nobody updates. Theories of change written in PDFs that age out the moment the field moves. The board wants outcomes; the field needs patience. You are the person holding both.
Concessionary, catalytic and commercial layers across five waterfalls and four covenants. The model lives in a deck that was correct on Tuesday. The deal needs to close by Friday. The covenants will outlive everyone in the room.
Different jobs. Same shape of craft: sensemaking across complexity, weaving across difference, holding the long arc. The instruments for this work are mostly still missing — so we build them.
We are building AI-enabled tools to make all of these easier.
We help rapidly build and operate easy-to-maintain digital solutions customized to your specific needs, while building capacity in your team to use Claude Code to customize and maintain well-architected, secure tools tailored to how you actually work.
You run the servers. The data is yours.
We provide ongoing fractional CTO oversight & coaching.
The end result: sovereign data, fully customizable software built to your needs, and maintenance you control.
"My coalition has 80 people. Who actually knows whom, and where are the real seams?"
Mycelial is the studio's first product to leave the workshop. It maps the threads of relationship across a field — surfacing latent connections, naming what's holding a coalition together, and brokering the introductions the network didn't know it needed. Live now at mycelial.earth.
"My AI knows my inbox. Theirs knows theirs. They should be talking — but no commercial agent is on my side."
MyCrew is a personal AI that runs locally on your laptop — sovereign, private — and quietly negotiates with the agents of your peers across organizations to catalyze the collaboration that would otherwise never happen.
"My field moved last week. Nobody told me — and by the time I notice, I'm reacting to a world that's already changed again."
A continuously-running intelligence agent that watches activity across a field — new actors, new capital, new narratives — and keeps everyone working on the issue up-to-date on what just changed and why it matters.
"We're running generative gatherings on tools built for status meetings and webinars."
A video conferencing tool designed to make it easy to run generative virtual gatherings — open-space breakouts, ambient notes, follow-ups generated for you. The facilitator's hands stay free for the room.
