A builder, unleashed — and watching the cost

bert.bits is a one-person studio in Barcelona that runs on generative and agentic tools. That sentence used to be a boast; now it is a disclosure. The same tools that let one builder keep a science atlas, two recipe lines, a prompt refinery, a fiction canon and a games arcade alive at once are the tools that are hollowing out the crafts those things come from.

So the studio tries to hold both truths at once. It builds fast and in the open, because the opportunity is real and pretending otherwise would be its own dishonesty. And it binds itself with rules — about saying what is generated, about never selling untested work as tested, about naming sources and paying for inputs, about keeping a person at every gate, about teaching the method rather than hoarding it — because empathy is something you show on the card, not something you claim in the footer.

The site is organised as a street of forges. A forge is a room with its own fire, never a brand: SpectraDex, Snack Bits, Kitchen Bits, Vibe Arcade and the Reclamation Archive are the names on the bits; bert.bits is the signature on all of them.
