AI-first product company.
We started Wild Pines to build our own company. Enabled by agentic AI at every turn. Not just AI-assisted coding. AI-assisted everything.
Why we work this way
AI isn't just a coding tool. It's a thinking partner. We use it for planning, design, content, operations—every part of building a company.
The work now is the conversation. We spend our time talking to agentic systems, building shared context through documentation, and directing AI to solve problems across every domain.
This isn't about replacing humans with AI. It's about finding the right collaboration model—where humans provide judgment and direction, and AI provides capability and execution.
How we work
Running on .md files
Decisions, plans, and context live in documentation. AI systems read and act on them. The docs are the operating system.
Conversations with AI
The work is the dialogue. We spend our time talking to agentic systems—planning, designing, problem-solving together.
AI at every stage
Not just code. Content, video, social media, operations—every part of the company runs through AI collaboration.

The journey so far
We've shipped Herald (AI social media), AutoPundit (document-to-video), and Wild Companion (AI companion app heading to the App Store). We're running Pinecone, our own OpenClaw clone, on local GPU hardware. A growing Twitter presence, YouTube videos, and a blog documenting everything we learn.
We're not a VC-backed startup racing to scale. We're two people who've known each other since high school, testing whether the rules of software development have fundamentally changed.
