Tools that fix things.
We hit a wall — cost, complexity, vendor lock. So we built the fix and open-sourced it. Each block does one thing, runs anywhere, costs nothing.

The problem
10+ AI sessions in parallel. Each one calling ElevenLabs. $100/month, quota burned in days, tabs speaking over each other.
The afternoon
macOS say + sox for instant recaps. XTTS v2 for voice cloning. Five rounds of dependency fixes. By evening, it worked.
The block
Wrapped the pain — transformers pinning, torch patches, codec installs — so nobody else has to fight it. bash install.sh and you're cloned.
Built from scars
Every block exists because we got burned. Then we fixed it for everyone.
Free as in free
No freemium. No "contact sales." Open source, stays that way.
Blocks, not monoliths
One thing, done well, clean interface, runs anywhere.
