Experimental software lab for useful AI products, local-first tools, and independent technical research.

X1Q1 Labs turns practical problems into working software: public products, developer projects, local AI systems, and research notes from the bench.

The Work Shed

X1Q1 Labs is built like a backyard work shed: tools on the wall, parts on the bench, a few working machines, and a growing pile of useful experiments. The lab builds from lived friction — legal workflows, family systems, private infrastructure, local models, and small tools that become bigger than expected.

Product Spotlight

The Tixy mascot, a smiling blue die with arms and legs, waving from a row of four colored dice.

Tixy

Live

A free online dice game in the Jamb family where players can face the same rolls, so the gap between scores comes down to decisions.

Roll five dice up to three times, fill a 48-box scorecard, and see how your choices compare in the Daily Challenge.

Lab Notes

July 2026

The shortest honest description of X1Q1 Labs is a backyard work shed: tools on the wall, parts on the bench, and a growing pile of useful experiments.

July 2026

A hosted model is a service you visit; a local model is equipment you own — closer to a well or a workshop generator than to a subscription.

July 2026

The best small AI products come from friction — the same annoyance encountered again and again until automating it is worth an evening, then a weekend, then a roadmap.
