THE LAUNCH SIX · NEWEST WORK FIRST

  1. it-asks-first 6 MIN READ Why our robot asks permission The freeze you feel when a black box acts without you — and why that feeling is the whole reason boop exists.
  2. build notes 7 MIN READ We put the wiring diagram on the website Transparency as the aesthetic. The teardown lives on the marketing page, not buried in a datasheet — and you can download the wire.
  3. build notes 5 MIN READ The button that takes a jelly switch The cheapest part on the say-so's board, and the biggest door it opens. A standard assistive switch approves the same way a head-boop does.
  4. the humans 6 MIN READ A Tamagotchi that answers your email The little-someone bet: warm enough to care about, capable enough to do real work. Why a molecule, not a robot, not a chat window.
  5. build notes 5 MIN READ Closed eyes, cut wire “The mic is off” is usually software you have to trust. We made it physical: eyelid shutter → switch → mic power rail.
  6. the humans 5 MIN READ Butter, not black Every AI product is black, blue, or violet. We went warm on purpose — and the warmth is a promise, not a paint job.

HOW THE SHELF IS SORTED

Four kinds of note.

build notes
how the thing is actually made — the boards, the wire, the parts.
it-asks-first
the essays. Why consent is the product, not a setting.
the humans
the little-someone bet, the colour, the people boop is for.
packs
one boop, one job — the cast and what each one is allowed to touch.

Every note ends the same way — the wordmark, and “booped.” with its full stop.

FIRST IN LINE

Read the next one the day it lands.

We write once, when it's time. Because we ask before we send. Obviously.
