Make First Studio

Make First Studio is the app that runs the Path with your teen: the gates, the AI cofounder, and the Scoreboard. It coaches your teen through the work. It never does the work for them.

What's in Studio

Every capability, honestly labeled

Nothing here claims to be finished that isn't. Each capability below carries its real status.

The Path

Founding cohort forming

Six stages with pass/fail gates and gate evidence submission.

Guided Scoreboard plus weekly review with the founder

Your AI cofounder

Private beta

Stage-aware coaching that asks, checks, and unblocks. It never writes the product or the posts for you.

Scoreboard

Founding cohort forming

The Firsts, weekly P&L, and hours log in one place.

Parent view

In the works

A parent sees the Path, the Scoreboard, and what was shipped this week.

Maker Portfolio

In the works

A public page of earned Firsts, the live product, and weekly updates. Real work for college applications.

Run-stage automations

Live

Hand repeat work to agents on the Fractary Platform (Faber, Codex; Apache-2.0).

How the AI cofounder works

  • Asks before it answers.
  • Checks your evidence against the gate.
  • Unblocks with the next smallest step.
  • Never writes your product, your posts, or your sales messages.

What a parent sees

In the works

A dedicated parent view of the Path and the Scoreboard is in the works. When it ships, a parent will see:

Today, that same visibility comes from weekly group office hours with the founder and a Scoreboard your teen keeps by hand.

The Maker Portfolio

In the works

A public page of your teen's earned Firsts, their live product, and their weekly updates is also in the works. It is built to be real work you can point to on a college application: a live URL, a first customer, a running P&L, not another line on a resume.

The foundation

Built on the Fractary Platform

The Run stage hands repeat work to agents on the Fractary Platform: open-source agents and docs tooling released under Apache-2.0. It is the same foundation behind the rest of the Fractary family.

Founding cohort note

Nothing above is finished, and we say so plainly. Today, the founding cohort works directly with the founder: weekly group office hours, gate reviews with written feedback, and a Scoreboard you keep by hand. Studio is being built around the founding cohort, and founding families shape what ships next.
