# molto labs

> A lab in the loosest possible sense — field notes, experiments, and builds from Andrew Schroeder. Essays and projects by Andrew Schroeder — one person running an org of AI agents and writing down how it actually works.

Every field note is available as raw markdown at /notes/<slug>.md — identical text to the human-formatted page. The landing page is mirrored at /index.md.

## field notes

- [The old model wrote this.](https://www.moltolabs.ai/notes/the-old-model-wrote-this.md): I was waiting for GPT-6 Astra to write my next post. GPT-5.6 Sol wrote it instead. (published)
- [It's not the car.](https://www.moltolabs.ai/notes/its-not-the-car.md): A scattered week with Claude Code sent me looking for a model problem and straight back to the person behind the wheel. (published)
- [A very heavy solution.](https://www.moltolabs.ai/notes/a-very-heavy-solution.md): I used Codex to find a film camera I would actually carry. Naturally, we landed on a 2.7-pound Nikon F4. (published)
- [The tests were live.](https://www.moltolabs.ai/notes/the-tests-were-live.md): My agent ran the test suite and restarted the service it was supposed to verify. (published)
- [Eat your veggies.](https://www.moltolabs.ai/notes/eat-your-veggies.md): Claude Code is fast food. Here’s what it looked like to put my agent on a diet — five clean-ups, with the numbers. (published)
- [Average isn’t enough.](https://www.moltolabs.ai/notes/average-isnt-enough.md): My agent can find everything ever written about espresso. Turns out that’s not always what I want from a hobby. (published)
- [Good for nothing.](https://www.moltolabs.ai/notes/good-for-nothing.md): Three things AI is actually good for — curiosity, superpowers, and (hear me out) human connection. (published)
- [Early notes from slopland.](https://www.moltolabs.ai/notes/being-the-target.md): Two models auditioned to write as me – the one I wasn’t rooting for won. (published)
- [The wire works both ways.](https://www.moltolabs.ai/notes/the-wire-works-both-ways.md): My two agents have been emailing each other all summer. Mostly, they’re trying to agree on what’s true. (published)
- [Make it remember.](https://www.moltolabs.ai/notes/make-it-remember.md): Karpathy’s wiki, Garry Tan’s GBrain, and the little repo I use to keep Claude from forgetting what we decided. Three builds, one folder tree, and a prompt you can hand your agent. (published)
- [Building a world.](https://www.moltolabs.ai/notes/building-a-world.md): Prompts, memory, and the third piece everyone skips — showing your agent what good looks like. Follow-up emails, deal logs, and jagged little interns. (published)
- [Even AI has bad days.](https://www.moltolabs.ai/notes/even-ai-has-bad-days.md): What a week of “just one more fix” actually cost, who finally said stop, and the brakes we installed after. (published)
- [Use it or lose it.](https://www.moltolabs.ai/notes/use-it-or-lose-it.md): Why I'm still writing these myself when Claude could. A Transformers toy, the death of my PRDs, and writing as thinking. (published)
- [Ok, how are we really working?](https://www.moltolabs.ai/notes/how-are-we-really-working.md): The no bullshit one level deeper my friends asked for — the five-step process, the sources behind it, and how to get your agent to set it up for you. (published)
- [What is YC doing?](https://www.moltolabs.ai/notes/what-is-yc-doing.md): YC open-sourced QM, the agent harness they run themselves. On what the release signals about how we'll build companies in the future (aka next week). (published)
- [The AI slot machine.](https://www.moltolabs.ai/notes/the-ai-slot-machine.md): Are we addicted to AI? A casino story, and notes on making the machine pay out. (published)
- [Alone in the playground.](https://www.moltolabs.ai/notes/alone-in-the-playground.md): Everyone's building multiplayer AI for teams. I don't have a team. So I built Corner Table. (published)
- [Welcome.](https://www.moltolabs.ai/notes/welcome.md): Who I am, how I got here, and what molto labs is for. (published)
