We build in the open.

Some of the infrastructure behind our AI work is too useful to keep to ourselves. So we release it — MIT-licensed, documented, and maintained. No lock-in, no signup. Take it, fork it, ship it.

01 — The projects

What we've put out there.

Small, sharp tools that solve one problem well. More on the way.

ping-a-human

Human-in-the-loop for any AI pipeline

An MCP server that lets your AI agent reach a real person on the messaging app they already use — and wait for the reply. Notify them when a job finishes, or ask a question and block until they answer or tap a button.

02 — Why we open-source

The tools we'd want someone to hand us.

Built from real work

These aren't side projects. They come out of client engagements where we needed the thing to exist — so we made it solid, then made it public.

Yours to keep

MIT-licensed and dependency-light. Run it on your own infra, read every line, fork it if you outgrow us. No platform to get locked into.

ping-a-human is free to run yourself. If you'd rather have us design the human-in-the-loop layer — or any AI automation — into your systems, that's what the lab does. Talk to the AI Labs team →See what the lab builds →
