Links curated from the Founder Labs community. Each one was shared in our AI links channel and kept here so it doesn’t disappear. Every entry says what the link is and why a bootstrapped founder might care.
AI & Agents
- Open Generative AI — Self-hosted, MIT-licensed open-source studio for generating AI images and videos, offering access to 600+ models across 14 studios. Why it matters: Gives early founders a free base for an AI media product, though it promotes a paid white-label resale option.
- rakazo: open-source role-based AI bots you own — Open-source app for running role-based AI bots, such as sales outbound, inbox management, and expense matching, from iOS and Android devices. Why it matters: Lets founders hand routine work like inbox triage, outreach drafts, and receipts to bots, with drafts held for review.
- Microduck by Pollen Robotics — A 25 cm open-source biped robot you train yourself with reinforcement learning, starting in a physics simulator. Why it matters: At $399 pre-order and open source, it lets hardware-focused founders prototype embodied AI without building a robot from scratch.
Engineering
- reverse-api-engineer: Turn websites into APIs — Open-source CLI that drives a browser, records network traffic as HAR, and has an agent generate a typed API client from it. Why it matters: Lets founders turn undocumented site endpoints into local code instead of brittle scraping, running on their machine under MIT license.
