Making Solid work in the real world
We're building and running Solid infrastructure for actual applications. Our PHP identity and storage servers currently serve more than 5,000 pods.
We still love
the web.
We've been building on it since 1998.
Now AI is changing what we can build, how we build it, and perhaps what software is for.
We're curious about where that takes us.

What happens when AI meets Solid?
We're exploring what changes when AI can work with information that remains under the control of the people it belongs to.
Can AI-generated software explain itself?
We're using AI to build software while experimenting with ways to preserve why that software exists, where decisions came from, and why anyone should believe the result.
Now is generated from our public activity by AI. Nobody at Muze approves it before publication. It can be wrong.

We don't agree on everything. We share enough common ground about technology and the future to want to build things together.
What we do outside Muze is part of that too.
