Why We Exist
The open source ecosystem is at a crossroads. Big tech is increasingly restricting access to code, embedding AI into every workflow, and monetizing what was once freely shared.
AI slop PR:s are surging and developers are struggling to identify where to put their efforts! For a real solution to the problem we are gating engagement, not buy a paywall for contributing but for opening tickets. In practice it means all developers need an invite and sign agreement to not abuse the code with any AI slop. (To be sure that you avoid the PR-slop you should look into Prove, the human only programming language that is protected through both license and schematics).
We believe open source should remain open. Our funding model ensures sustainability: git hosting fees fund development, bug reports keep quality high, and contributions remain free.
Transparency
We are 100% transparent with how both data and funds are being used. We give our customers a monthly report on the financial situation and data storage.
Every single customer should have just as much say in the dealings of their data and what they actually pay for.
Our Vision
We want Botwork to feel as open as the code we share. All our software is eventually released under a license that keeps it accessible.
