Independent products for the new internet.

Galleon is Andrew Wilkinson's workshop for useful software, autonomous agents, strange experiments, and things worth shipping.

The workshop

Small crews. Real systems. Work that leaves the harbour.

Galleon is not an agency and not a venture portfolio. It is the public name for Andrew's independent work: products he runs, tools he reaches for, games he wants to play, and agent systems that do more than answer a prompt.

How Galleon works

Operating principles

Built to be used.

  1. 01

    Ship the whole loop

    A useful product includes operation, maintenance, recovery, and proof—not just the interesting code.

  2. 02

    Keep the owner visible

    Agents create leverage. They do not erase responsibility, taste, or the person accountable for the result.

  3. 03

    Let projects stay themselves

    The umbrella should make work easier to find and trust, not flatten every product into one visual template.

  4. 04

    Prefer evidence to theatre

    Live surfaces, working links, and repeatable systems count. A good story only helps once the thing exists.
