Master Your Systems

An academy in the works and a founders' community now forming, both built around one idea: one person plus agents can build and run real ventures.

Learn by building

We're building a hands-on curriculum that teaches the way the studio actually works: pick a real problem, build it with the Fractary stack, ship it, then automate what you just did. We'll open the first modules when they're ready.

What we're building

  • โœ“Build a working AI-powered product from a real problem
  • โœ“Automate the business processes around it
  • โœ“Run it in production on the platform tools
  • โœ“Hand the repeat work to agents

Community-Sourced, Clearly Labeled

The Stockyard is an index of tools from public GitHub lists and official sources. We say where each listing came from and exactly what "Verified" does and doesn't mean.

How we build this index โ†’

No Affiliate Links, No Paid Placements

Nothing in the directory is sponsored and no link earns us a commission. The studio's business is building ventures and publishing open-source tools, not selling placement.

Solo-Focused

Everything here is built for the entrepreneur of one: tools you can run yourself, a stack you can own, and a community forming for founders who build alone.

Build your own studio of one.

Find your tools in the Stockyard. Build on the stack. When you've shipped something real, ask for a seat in The Foundry.
