Saturday morning at the desk, building a kingdom

You Used to Command Realms

Map icon

Map your world

Your whole life—eight domains, every project, all in one view. Zoom from the big picture to a single task. See everything, focus anywhere.

Owl icon

Get wise counsel

AI advisors who know their domains. They spot blind spots, ask the right questions, and help you think strategically about what matters.

Crown icon

Delegate the doing

AI workers handle the details. They capture, research, draft, and execute—with infinite patience and no ego.

The Honest Alpha

We're building LifeBuild in public. Rough edges, broken things, occasional catastrophic data loss. Also: you'll shape what this becomes.

On security: Early-stage AI software is an even less secure place for personal information than big AI products—and that's a low bar. If that gives you pause, wait for Public Beta.

Stage What You Get What's Rough What We're Proving
Founding Alpha
AI team for capturing and managing personal projects. Advisors in your areas of interest. Basic life overview. Ugly—mostly tables. Chatbot-feeling agents. Buggy. Frequent data loss. Can an AI team make life management feel like commanding instead of drowning?
Builder Alpha
Visual map. Worker AI that tasks at your command. On-brand interface. Agents with character and proactivity. Still crashing. We're pushing human-AI and AI-AI boundaries—which means breaking everything. Can the AI corps execute real work? Does the map create mastery?
Public Beta
Stable. Secure. Full functionality. Real onboarding. Less to shape—foundation is set. Can this scale beyond the people who watched us build it?
Post-Beta
The real thing, if it proves out. You missed the messy years.

None of these stages fit?

About

What we're betting on

We're using retro strategy games as a translational layer between humans and machines.

  • AI-native foundation Built for AI first, not bolted on.
  • Extremely visual Give humans familiar visual tools to work with AI.
  • Collaborative authority Agents who act, not just chat.

The Sovereignty Gap: The Book

Ancient philosophers defined the conditions for sovereignty—the capacity for intentional, self-directed living—as autonomy, resources, and freedom to choose. Modern professionals have these, yet an overwhelming majority report feelings of overwhelm, burnout, burden and exhaustion. Why?

The philosophers assumed we have available personal capacity, something that modern life often drains right out of us.

The Sovereignty Gap names the gaps that create the space between the richness of the lives we deserve and the harried state of the lives we often live, and presents research informed solutions for how to close them.

Not by developing more discipline, becoming more productive, centering your emotions or trying harder. By building a capacity-first life architecture, one day at a time, starting today.

We're publishing the book one chapter at a time.
