Building Acorn Labs in the Open
The real story of building a governed company of AI Employees on the Internet Computer — including the progress, decisions, mistakes and lessons along the way.
Week One: Building Acorn Labs in the Open
What the first week of building a governed AI company actually looked like — one working AI Employee, real engineering problems, a serious corrected assumption, and no attempt to pretend the finished vision already exists.

About this journal
Documented from close to day one
Acorn Labs is being documented from close to day one.
This journal records what has genuinely been built, what went wrong, what changed and what was learned while developing a governed company of AI Employees on the Internet Computer.
The aim is not to present a polished story after the fact. It is to preserve the real progression from one supervised AI Employee toward a functioning AI organisation.
AI tools may help organise and draft parts of these articles using Acorn Labs' real development records and planning documents. The Founder reviews the facts, corrects the interpretation and approves everything before publication.
