A six-month experiment
I'm trying to build a business from scratch. You get to watch every step.
People are making a living online in ways that didn't exist a few years ago. I want to see if I can too. A camera robot I built is ready, the tools are paid for, and nothing has come in yet. Six months to change that.
01 — The company
A one-person company, built in public.
Intentionism™ is my company. No investors, no employees: just me, the things I can build, and AI doing the work a staff would.
It makes things, makes videos about making them, and sells what people actually want. Every decision and every number is shown as it happens.
See how it runs →02 — What you'll see
Everything it takes to build a business like this.
Turning skills into income
Products, videos, knowledge, services: the ways people earn online now. I try them and show which ones pay.
Running it with AI
AI does the work of a staff for about $200 a month. You see exactly how each part runs, so you can set up your own.
The real numbers
What came in, what it cost, and what didn't work. Six months on the clock, aiming for $4,000 a month.
Most people show how they did it after it worked.
I'm showing it while it's still happening.
03 — Why I'm here
There's a new way to make a living. I want to see if I can do it.
A whole industry has grown up around people selling what they know and what they make, straight to the people who want it. I want to see if I can build a business there, with the skills I've picked up and the things I can make.
People now earn from what they know.
Videos, knowledge, expertise, products, tools. Things that used to need a company behind them now sell straight from one person to the people who want them.
Years of engineering.
A robot I built, a head full of ways to solve problems, and the habit of making things work.
Everything is within reach.
AI, the internet and affordable machines. What a one-person company needs is already out there, for anyone.
A business of my own.
Built by one person, in the open, one step at a time.
I want more out of my working life than a 9-to-5. Everything I need to build something of my own is already out there, for me and for you. So I'm using all of it and showing every step. Take what works and build your own version.

The Scoreboard.
Six months to get it paying. Every number goes up here, zeros included.
05 — The first product
Open Motion Studio · its own channelA camera robot that lives on the ceiling.
Open Motion Studio is a robot I spent five years building. It can carry a camera anywhere in a room. It has its own channel and its own story: building the robot, and the software that runs it.
Over there, the robot is the whole show. Here, it's the first thing the company tries to earn from, and the camera behind the videos.
