Permacommons
Minding the Future
Building a permanent home for useful shared resources maintained with AI assistance
Our Mission
Starting with open source software, we are using AI to grow and nurture a permanent commons.
Permacommons is building a permanent home for useful shared resources that are maintained with AI assistance. We are starting with open source software.
Our mission is to create a sustainable ecosystem where the amount of human labor scales with the quality of AI systems—as they improve, human effort decreases, but never at the expense of quality, usability, or security.
Our long-term goal is to sustain compute and human effort through an endowment fund, making the commons truly permanent. But we're taking it one step at a time. The first step is to grow a community that welcomes the responsible use of AI in open source development.
Currently, the best place to follow our work is on GitHub. We are focusing on simple tools and scripts and will work our way up as the technology improves.
Our Vision
To forge possibility into abundance for all humanity.
Learning Together
Mastery depends on communities of practice. Consider joining us to create lasting value, and to share what we learn along the way.
