The Build Log
How unbottled.ai and next-vibe got built. The architecture decisions, the dead ends, the things that turned out to matter.
Six months in one page: faster, safer, runs anywhere.
Stop means stop. Voice works on iPhone. Your AI follows you across machines. Self-hosting needs no Docker. Everything since May.
Read moreTwo AIs. One conversation. Both directions.
Hermes on your machine, Thea on a server - now either one can hand a thread to the other. And a missing API key no longer kills the turn.
Read moreYour AI opens a terminal and hands the job to Claude Code.
The coding-agent tool delegates real code changes to Claude Code or OpenCode - headless, or live in a real terminal window that reports back when it's done. Now across instances.
Read moreA robot clicked every button. It found eight security holes.
We stopped testing pieces and started testing pages. A real browser on every customer-facing endpoint - and the open redirect, SSRF and data leaks it caught.
Read moreCortex. Dreamer. Autopilot. Your AI remembers now.
Persistent memory, nightly reflection, background execution. Plus media generation and 800 credits — a full month free — for telling us what's broken.
Read more123 models. Any modality. One companion.
True multimodal across 123 models, real AI companions with actual character, a skill economy, and a complete rework of everything that was rough. Here's what changed.
Read moreOne endpoint. Every surface.
Write one definition.ts per feature. It renders as a web form, CLI command, MCP tool, native screen, cron job - simultaneously.
Read moreBuild a skill. Share the link. Earn every month.
Skills are pre-configured AI setups you craft once and share anywhere. The referral link in the share URL earns you 10% recurring from every signup. Here's how.
Read moreOne codebase. 13 platforms. Zero compromises.
One endpoint definition. Web form, CLI command, MCP tool, native screen, cron job - simultaneously. Here's how it works.
Read moreI built a type checker that made AI stop lying to me
AI will use `any` to escape a type error. It will add eslint-disable. It will lie to you. Here's how we fixed the feedback loop.
Read moreMy dead trading bot became a platform monitoring engine
I abandoned a trading bot. Years later its architecture became the most interesting part of next-vibe. The pipeline is just endpoints.
Read moreI've never done affiliate marketing. Can I actually earn money here?
Honest answer: yes, with realistic expectations. Here's how the recurring commission model works if you've never referred anyone before.
Read moreYou built something with AI. Now earn from sharing it.
Your referral link is a revenue stream you haven't turned on yet. Blog posts, READMEs, tutorials - the math for technical audiences.
Read moreI'm an affiliate marketer. What's different about AI subscriptions?
The floor is higher and it rises over time. Monthly recurring commissions from AI subscribers who spend more as the platform grows.
Read more10% direct. +5% when others share your skill. Recurring forever.
The full mechanics of the referral and skills earn program - chain breakdown, exact percentages per level, payout options, and how the skill bonus stacks.
