mantis-services.site02 Technology
Swift and SwiftUI on Apple platforms, Kotlin on Android, and Flutter where one codebase serves both. Each client is built for its platform rather than wrapped.
Rules that hold at the operating-system level: on macOS, a background agent and a network filter extension keep blocks in place through restarts and workarounds.
Pipelines that take a brief to a finished video with a human approval step, and real-time speech alignment that follows a speaker through a script.
Two-sided platforms with identity verification, escrow payments and delivery confirmation designed in from the start rather than added later.
Products that AI assistants can operate directly through the Model Context Protocol, alongside the interface people use.
Postgres-backed services, edge networking and self-managed servers.
A topic is proposed or supplied.
Written with research. Each fact is marked verified, second-hand or unverified.
A person approves the script before anything is generated.
Narration and a picture for every shot, in one visual style, assembled as a 9:16 video with captions.
A finished vertical video with its title, caption, description and hashtags.
Product design.
Senders and travellers verify with a government ID.

Funds are released once delivery is confirmed.
03 Company
Software should help a person do what they set out to do, and then get out of the way.
Not every obstacle is a flaw. Good products remove the effort that wastes time and keep the effort that protects.
Automation is most useful when a person still decides what matters, so judgement is designed into the process.
The best infrastructure goes unnoticed until it fails. We pay attention to the parts people never see.
04 Journal
A crowd crossing a street looks spontaneous. It is held together by signals, markings, timing and habit, most of which nobody notices until they fail.
Most software is built to remove effort. Some of the most useful products add a little back, on purpose and in the right place.
Generative tools can now do most of the work between an idea and a finished video. The interesting design question is which step still needs a person.
