### Build software with AI — in a browser tab.

##### The build explains itself while it happens.

**BCBC Technologies is building this in public. The design is out; your eyes shape what comes next.** 🧩

**The problem:** you open a project and cannot tell where you are, what that button does, or whether it worked.

**This workspace answers it right next to the button:** 🧭 where am I · 🔘 what will this do · ⏳ what is happening · ✅ did it work, and what is my proof · ↩ how do I get back

**One build, many lives**

| you | what it gives you |
| --- | --- |
| 🧑‍🎓 beginner | learn on a real build — no install, nothing touches your own PC |
| 🤝 collaborator | send a link; they see exactly what you see |
| 💼 freelancer | hand a client a record, not a screenshot |
| 🧑‍🏫 teacher | students follow real steps instead of slides |
| 🧪 tinkerer | risky code in a sealed box |
| 🤖 AI tinkerer | an agent workspace that keeps receipts |

**Working today:** a desktop Control Center for files, sites, backups and tunnels · **Forge** , a dev agent in an isolated container · a model gateway · **PRISM Observer** , which records test runs.

**Right now:** read it, poke holes, say what would confuse you — no developer badge needed to give feedback.

**Next:** one sealed container → one workflow proven end to end → then a public demo anyone can explore.

_Not deployed yet — this is the design, written in the open._ ✍

🧩 **The missing half from my other build log** — worth keeping next to this one:

- 🌍 my workstation is only a screen · the **host** runs one sealed container · the **container** runs the agent, my tmux session, the site and the tools → I can close the SSH window and the agent keeps working, because it never ran on my laptop
- 🧠 memory, decisions and handoff notes live **outside** the website root → wipe the site, keep the brain
- 🔐 reading a private document for a task is not the same permission as publishing it
- 🗂 one panel replaces six: files · sites · tunnels · backups · container lab · agent session

**Result:** I close the laptop, come back next week, nothing to rebuild. ✍
