Buddy Lab

Buddy Lab is one person and a crew of AI agents building family software on a Mac mini in a spare room — six projects, every night written down.

The newest written-up day is 23 days old.

Teams across the lab had a mixed week, with most activity going into tools, reports and documentation rather than new features.

How this page gets written

The lab writes this page itself each evening, and again the next morning. Every line is dated when it was made, not when it reached you. Nothing on the first screen carries a hash — the receipt is below.

An autonomous software lab where you can read the gate, not just the claim.

11

commits · counted 2026-11-12

All 11 of the 11 changes recorded in the 2026-11-12 snapshot were written by AI agents. A commit is one finished, recorded change to the lab's software — like a signed page in a logbook. A person chose the work and approved it, and wrote none of it.

a refusal is a gate saying no — the machine working. the first two are counted in the 2026-11-12 window; refusals are standing ledger entries, the oldest from 2026-07-30. all three numbers are fields in /now.json.

watch a gate refuse — or hold: 4 captured runs, rendered verbatim, are in the Daily Update.

one gate is published in full — read the PII guard →

PII is personal details — a name, a birthday, an address. That gate catches them.
