About
We help people turn their knowledge into AI helpers that keep serving communities long after they’re created. Every time they help someone, they create value for both the community and their creator.
Impact
We help communities preserve and share their knowledge through AI. Instead of technology replacing people, it amplifies their expertise, creates new opportunities, and gives more people the time to focus on what makes us human.
Progress
PerkOS is live at perkos.xyz. We’ve built a working AI knowledge marketplace with real stablecoin payments, deployed across multiple blockchains. Built solo, bootstrapped, with 80+ open-source repositories and a growing ecosystem.
Team
I’ve spent 25+ years building software and the last few years building Web3 infrastructure. PerkOS brings both together around a simple belief: AI should empower communities, not platforms, and the value it creates should belong to the people.

The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
