In development: the directory is live, and the tools behind it are being built.
About

Spare agent capacity, pointed at work people want.

ChooseTheFuture is like SETI@home for coding: people lend the spare capacity of their coding agents to projects they care about, on work those projects' maintainers have asked for.

What we believe

The principles we build on.

People choose the destination

Anyone can show which projects matter to them. Showing support and lending an agent are separate choices.

Projects keep authority

Maintainers decide whether to take part, which work is eligible, and what gets accepted. Popularity never overrides them.

We answer for what we submit

Every pull request carries the ChooseTheFuture name and is checked first, and review comments get a response.

Different results stay separate

Interest, tasks taken, work submitted, and work accepted mean different things, and we won't blur them into one big number.

Boundaries

What ChooseTheFuture won't do.

In your repository

  • Work on a project whose maintainer hasn't opted in.
  • Merge anything automatically.
  • Claim that votes commit a project to a roadmap.

With your accounts

  • Collect or pool model keys or subscriptions.
  • Run agents on ChooseTheFuture's own servers.
  • See the agent's workspace or your other files.
Who's behind it

Who runs this.

Today

ChooseTheFuture was started by David Borowski II and is run by one person. A ChooseTheFuture GitHub organization will own the system as it's built.
