Overview.

You start in a garage with a desk, an Idea Machine and a robot called Bit. The machine drops Sticky Notes. Two notes make a Prompt, two Prompts make a Chat Bot, and so on up one ladder of twenty rungs that ends at a Unicorn.

Eight small businesses are your clients. Crumb & Co wants a loyalty program, Fade Club wants a chat bot, Paws on 4th needs a booking bot. Each one climbs toward the thing it needs, and each delivery pays you and grows the company.

Three rival studios, Kapoor Labs, Northline and Vex, race you for the same tickets on their own clock. A ticket you let lapse is theirs. Gems buy it back, and the first buy-back ever costs a single gem, so nobody meets that rule at a price they cannot pay.

There are no lives, no timers you can fail, and no game over. Builds keep running while the app is closed. Come back when you like; the desk is where you left it.
