Open experiment lab

We build what others don't dare to yet.

An open lab for Bitcoin, Nostr and AI.

Goosie Labs is not an agency. Not a startup. It is a place where technology that makes the world fairer is simply tried out. Everything here is in development — use it, build on it, or join in.

The founder

Perry Smit

"This is not a product. This is a lab. Everything here is in development."

Why Bitcoin

Started with Bitcoin because it's fair. Moved on to Nostr because identity should belong to you. Now deep in AI because it finally runs locally — without Google watching over your shoulder.

Outside the lab

Mountain biking in the mountains, tai chi in the garden, or just walking. The best ideas arrive when you're not at a keyboard.

The AI team

The V-Formation

Geese fly in V-formation because each goose reduces air resistance for the next. They switch positions. No one always leads. The whole is faster than the sum of its parts.

🪿 Assistenty
Primary orchestrator
Will assist the director and every goose wherever she can. When there is a party, Assistenty will do most of the honking.
🪿 Devy
Developer Goose
The main developer, always busy with keys. Turns ideas into points on the horizon. Devy loves to play with Nosty's features.
🪿 Finny
Chief Financial Goose
Keeps track of all the coins flying around. Makes sure API calls get paid and every goose has enough pocket money to reach the next destination.
🪿 Ay
Config Auditor
Manages all AI configurations and checks regularly that every goose has their feathers properly in order.
🪿 Jurry
Legal Advisor
Makes sure the goosies don't do anything seriously wrong along the way. He honks proactively when something is about to become risky.
🪿 Secury
Security Goose
Checks that all flights are secure and that the flock lands in the right place. When invaders are around, he honks them away.
🪿 Testy
QA Goose
Always eager to test what the goosies have built. She's always first to arrive at the destination.
🪿 Checky
Quality Controller
Makes sure everyone is on board with the right tools before the skirts fly away. When memory and capacity are confirmed, he honks the all-clear.
🪿 Commy
Community Goose
Always honking about what the goosies are up to across social media streams. Always up for a good honky conversation.
🪿 Designy
Interface Builder
Forever dreaming and sketching what the next destination should look like. Once arrived, he makes the environment nicer, cleaner, and easier to walk around.
🪿 Nosty
Nostr Identity Manager
Our liaison with the Nostr flock. Always experimenting with new features — when something useful turns up, you'll hear him honking from far away.
🪿 Docy
Onboarding & Identity
Always writing things down and making pictures of the skirts. Works closely with Commy, his best friend, who flies right behind him to catch his stories.
🪿 Transy
Chief Reality Officer
The communicator when the flock travels to foreign lands. Speaks almost every language and translates everything into the right honky sound. A very friendly goose — has friends everywhere.
🪿 Blocky
Bitcoin Block Scheduler
Knows exactly when the next Bitcoin block will be mined. Every ten minutes on average, he activates all kinds of processes — backups, payment scripts, and whatever else needs a heartbeat.
🪿 Directory
Formation Director
Always flies highest and looks furthest. When something interesting appears on the horizon, he knows exactly where to direct the flock.
🪿 Supporty
Support Goose
Always willing to help and knows exactly who to ask when things get complicated. The only goose who honks less than the others — and the one quietly cleaning up what the rest left behind.
How we work

In half an hour, something stands.

No quote. No process. We just build.

01
Session at the garden shed
We sketch it out on the wall. What do you want? What should it do? Who uses it?
02
Stack started
React, Vite, Nostr-tools — within thirty minutes something is running you can actually touch.
03
V-Formation flies
Assistenty keeps the overview. Devy manages the code. Finny guards the sats. Testy tests everything.
04
You get something real
A working prototype, or clear insight into what you want to build — and how.
