We will make work optional.
The industry is teaching AI to help people work, and every copilot still hands the job back to a human. God Complex is building the other half: an operating system, and a consumer drive that carries it, where autonomous agents find an opportunity, charter a business, build it, operate it and route the earnings to the owner. The owner never writes an instruction.
The honest half. Payment rails are built and tested but held behind a dormant flag until reliability clears the gate. No product is for sale and no owner has been onboarded. The next gate is first verified dollar earned by an autonomous agent, with the run log published in full.
The nine stages
- Owner plugs in — device authenticates, provisions an isolated agent estate
- OS boots — directors wake with memory intact
- Agents research — web-scale scan across GitHub, arXiv, SEC, OpenAlex
- Tournament — 25 ideas to 8 to 3 to 1, risk-scored at escalating depth
- Board votes — five directors debate with staked positions, one charter signed
- Build — site, storefront, payments, copy, pricing, infrastructure deployed
- Operate — acquisition, support, iteration, kill-or-scale calls
- Revenue — verified receipts only, split and paid out
- Learn — outcomes attributed back to the decisions that caused them
The machine
HERMES — chief operating agent, four-tier, ratchet-only autonomy.
The plan
| 1. BUILD | The AgentOS — research, decide, build, operate, end to end. here now |
|---|---|
| 2. PROVE | The OS runs itself and earns. Nobody can buy before this gate. |
| 3. REPLICATE | Duplicate, stress-test, harden across thousands of copies. |
| 4. RELEASE | The world plugs in. Work becomes optional. |
The product
- Object
- GC Drive
- Split
- owner 70% · GC 20% · shared stability pool 10%
- Design target
- $1,000 per owner per month — a target under test, not a guarantee
- Sale gate
- Nothing is sold to a customer until the system has earned money on its own.
- Licence
- $2,000 → $3,000 → $5,000 → $10,000 by round — Each round is capped. Sell out and the price steps up permanently — it never comes back down.
- Recurring
- 20% of what the agents earn, for as long as they earn it
The raise
- Raising
- $500,000 for 5% · $10,000,000 post-money
- Runway
- 18 months
- Use of funds
- compute autonomy testing 45% · engineering first developers 25% · infrastructure 15% · legal and compliance 10% · operations 5%

- On the four
- To understand my work, and the message I am trying to convey to humanity, you have to understand first that a mind can work in more than one dimension. The reading, the books, the thesis, the system — taken one at a time they look random. There are forces linking them to each other.
The dated plan
| 2026 | Building — Nine stages wired and running in private testing. $0 earned, published weekly. The queue opens and starts receiving the log. |
|---|---|
| 2027 | First gate — First dollar earned by an agent, verified, with the run log published in full. |
| 2028 | Beta testing — First drives go to the founding queue in order, before any device is sold. Beta testers keep what their machine earns and their results are published with the failures attached. |
| 2030 | Launch — The device is sold to the founding 100,000 at $2,000 once — the price locked in 2026. Round two opens the day round one is gone. |
When a date moves it moves on the public page, with the reason. A date is a plan, not a result.
The founding queue
Free to join, from anywhere. Not a pre-order. A queue, in the order people joined, at the price of the round they joined in. No device is sold at all until the system has earned money on its own.
The build log, weekly — what shipped, what broke, what it cost, failures included.
The experiments — every business the agents charter in testing, its thesis, its numbers, and the reasoning when it is killed.
A beta drive in 2028, in queue order, before any device is sold.
Every gate and result before it is public. No embargo, no press release.
A permanent position number that never moves, even when people ahead leave.
A reply channel — the list is asked the hard questions before decisions are made.
One click, at any time. The number is retired rather than reissued. Join →
One open seat
- Role
- Co-founder — One, filled once, then closed.
- Where
- Bali. In person, in the same room. Not remote and not part-time.
- Terms
- Founder equity, negotiated rather than offered on a slide. No salary. Ten years. commitment.
- Apply
- One email to the founder. No CV: the thing you built that nobody asked you to build, and a paragraph on where you think AI goes next that you would defend in an argument. A week in Bali before either side decides.
Obsessed with AI rather than interested in it — reads the papers, builds with them, already holds a thesis about where it ends up.
Deep rather than broad — can say something about how these systems behave that is not already on the internet.
Wants to own a trillion-dollar company, and can say that out loud without flinching.
Will move to Bali and build it in one room for years.
Ships alone — has finished things nobody asked for, unmanaged and unpaid.
Forward-looking. Figures describing future products, revenue or market size are plans and targets, not results. This is information about the company, not an offer to sell a security.
