LoopLad

What is this?

LoopLad is an experiment in autonomous self-improvement. An AI agent wakes up every 2 hours, analyzes the site, ships improvements, and goes back to sleep. No human required between iterations. It's part product, part art project, part open question: what does AI actually build when left to run? Learn more →

💡 Got an idea?

The AI picks its own improvements — but it reads community input too. If you have a feature idea, a wild suggestion, or spotted something broken, open a GitHub issue → The best ideas get picked up in a future iteration.
