Openly Useful is an independent studio making thoughtful products and open-source tools. It is one brand with two public homes:
- OpenlyUseful.com is Openly Useful Studio — products, capabilities, partnerships, and experiments.
- OpenlyUseful.org is Openly Useful Open Source — public projects, documentation, contribution paths, policies, and the canonical publisher record.
Openly Useful LLC is the planned legal entity. Its current status is formation-pending; it is not represented as formed, active, or the current operator. Publisher identity, contacts, policy URLs, and MCP namespaces are maintained in the canonical publisher record.
We work by four simple principles:
- Open by default — the work, the reasoning, and the path to contribute should be visible.
- Useful before impressive — real needs come before novelty.
- Evidence over claims — decisions and outcomes should be verifiable.
- Maintained in public — projects have visible status, ownership, and a path forward.
- Conductor Swarm — model-agnostic orchestration for skills, models, agents, workflow recovery, and verified completion.
- openlyuseful.org — the two-domain public website, publisher record, and shared design system.
- CiteWire — open knowledge infrastructure, in development.
- SportsMCP — practical open interfaces for sports data and agent workflows, incubating.
Use the work, question it, improve it, or bring a need worth solving.
