Overview

The automation experiments initiative is a focused effort to push open innovation through disciplined exploration of new automation methods. By funding a structured program of experiments, we aim to uncover scalable patterns, robust workflows, and verifiable results. This initiative supports learning-by-doing, documentation, and shared insights that benefit a broad community of researchers, developers, and practitioners. In this context, the goal is to build a foundation for trustworthy automation that others can adapt and extend, accelerating progress across multiple domains.

Across the project, we emphasize clarity, repeatability, and collaboration. Our approach is to run small, well-scoped experiments, publish results, and invite constructive feedback from peers. This fosters an environment where experimentation informs practice, and practice informs further experimentation. The automation initiative seeks to balance curiosity with accountability, ensuring that every trial contributes to a durable, learnable body of knowledge for the community.

Why Your Support Matters

Your support directly funds hands-on work that advances automation while keeping the process open and inclusive. This is not about quick wins; it is about building a sustainable pipeline of experiments that produce transferable knowledge. The initiative benefits researchers and hobbyists alike by providing tangible learnings, accessible tooling, and clear milestones.

  • Accelerate early stage experiments in automation to unlock new capabilities and workflows
  • Strengthen community collaboration through open data, shared results, and transparent decision making
  • Develop accessible tooling and documentation that broadens participation across skill levels
