Async Digital is a one-person studio testing, in the open, what really changes when AI can write the code.
The claim everywhere right now is that AI replaces the engineer. What we keep finding is that it moves the engineer instead: from writing the code, to building the system that writes and checks it, to deciding whether to trust what comes out. That last decision is the part that does not automate.
Ordova is the system that does the rest. It is an operating system for solo software work: session handoff, governed memory, and a guard estate that decides which checks are crucial when nobody is reading every line of output. It is private, and how it works is documented publicly at https://ordova.async-digital.com
Audient is a macOS app that uses on-device AI to transcribe and search audio and video you give it. On the Mac App Store. https://audient.async-digital.com
Quill is a command-line tool for macOS that transcribes audio and video on-device and writes the words out as markdown. Your audio is not sent anywhere. It is open source under the MIT licence. https://github.com/async-digital-ltd/quill-cli
Working notes and case studies. Everything above gets written up as it breaks, including the parts that did not work. https://async-digital.com/notes/ https://async-digital.com/case-studies/
Most of the work is private. Quill is published here in full as a standalone tool. The other public repositories are reference utilities and supporting components, not the systems described above.
Async Digital Ltd is a UK company, principal-led.
