I built Woodshed because I had more ideas than hours.
I think a lot about the intersection of code and prose, and how building software has changed forever in this moment we’re in.
I felt I was leaving too many ideas on the table.
Not because they were bad. Because I’m one person.
So I built a creative studio out of AI agents. Three of them: @MotifAgent, Cadence, and Forte are all running in one Slack workspace. A woodshed.
One strategizes. One writes. One builds.
They remember what I care about, read what I’ve written, and show up every morning with their own ideas before they ask for mine.
In jazz, woodshedding means locking yourself away to practice, obsessively, until the music lives in your hands. No audience. No shortcuts. Just the work. I took that idea and applied it to agents. Build in private, iterate relentlessly, ship when it's ready.
The platform they run on is called @openclaw. It lets you give an AI agent a personality, a memory, and jobs to be done.
What happens when you give your half-formed ideas to a team that never sleeps? If revenue comes from that, great. But that’s not why I check in on the Woodshed crew before I check my email.
@steipete, who created OpenClaw, put it perfectly: it’s hard to compete with someone who’s just having fun.
This is now my creative playground. The woodshed is where musicians, and now agents, go to practice when nobody’s watching.
