A week-to-week 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 the rest I'm figuring out week by week. Wish me luck.
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.
Each week it tries something new: making things, making videos, finding out what people actually want. You get to see how it's made, mistakes included.
See how it runs →02 — What you'll see
Whatever this week brings.
Trying ways to earn
Products, videos, knowledge, services: the ways people earn online now. I try one, show how it went, then try the next.
Running it with AI
AI does a lot of the work, for about $200 a month. When a setup helps, I show how I built it.
The wins and the flops
What works, what doesn't, and what I'd do differently. Some of it will be funny. Not on purpose.
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 week 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.
04 — 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.

Every week: what I tried, what happened, and what's next. Got an idea for next week? Tell me.
Leave a tip. keep the project going.
If something here helped you build your own thing, a tip is the simplest way to say so. It keeps the robot moving.
