A six-month experiment
I'm trying to make a living with a robot I built. You get to watch every step.
I'm an engineer. I built a camera robot that hangs from the ceiling and can move anywhere in a room. Now I have six months, starting from $0, to turn it into a living.
01 — The robot
Meet the robot.
A camera that hangs from the ceiling and goes anywhere in the room. It's the reason any of this exists.
Intentionism is the studio. Open Motion Studio is the robot, the first thing it built.
02 — The experiment
One engineer. One robot. A whole company run with AI.
- 01
Launching a brand
Figuring out the playbook as I go, in public. - 02
Testing ways to earn
Tips, things I make, merch, and commercials shot with the robot. Every number goes on the scoreboard. - 03
Running it with AI
Using AI to do what used to take a team.
Most people show how they did it after it worked.
I'm showing it while it's still happening.
03 — The why
Why I'm here
I didn't come to the internet to be known. I came because I have things to share, and I'd like sharing them to be how I make a living.
Five years ago I had an idea: take what 3D printers and CNC machines already do, scale it up, and hang it from the ceiling so a camera could go anywhere in a room. Along the way, I ended up rethinking how people work with machines like this.
I built it, and it works. Now I'm spending six months figuring out how to get the knowledge, the hardware and the software into more people's hands.
I don't know if this will work. I'm not here to teach. I'm here to report what happens: the wins, the misses and the numbers.
Everything I learn, I share as it happens: how I decided, what worked, what didn't. So you can try your own version.

Leave a tip. keep the project going.
Tips are one of the ways I'm testing. If something here helped you, you can leave one. Then watch it land on the scoreboard.
