When your fitness app shows "Recovery Score: 72", do you know how it got that number?

With Whoop, Oura, Fitbit you don't. Black box. Can't audit it, can't tune it, can't verify it works for your users.

And it matters more than you'd think:

We built AI that's constrained to your component library - so it can't go off-brand

Something we kept seeing across every enterprise team we work with: AI design tools generate fast, then the cleanup takes longer than building from scratch.

The pattern is always the same. The AI generates a beautiful dashboard. Everyone's impressed. Then someone looks closely. Wrong button variant. Spacing doesn't match the system. The card uses a shadow you deprecated months ago. The loading state doesn't exist. A developer receives it and rebuilds everything using the real components anyway.

The generation was fast. The aftermath was expensive.

I keep going back and forth on this so I'll just put it out there.

OpenOwl gives any AI assistant the ability to see your screen and control your computer. That's a lot of access. People are right to be cautious before installing something like this.

The strongest signal I get from people on the fence is the same every time: "is this safe? what is the binary actually doing?"

Open sourcing the code answers that question forever. No more screenshots of code reviews. No more "trust me." Just the source.
