# About — Lolabots

> Lolabots is built by 23blocks. The thesis: AI agents should work for everyone, not just engineering teams.

This is the agent edition of [lolabots.com/about](https://lolabots.com/about).

## The thesis

AI agents are the most important tool of the decade. They're also currently the most engineer-only tool of the decade. To use them well today, you need to know what an MCP server is, how to install a CLI, what an API key looks like, and how to debug a config file. That's a tax most people can't pay.

We don't think that's how it should work. The people who would benefit most from a tireless assistant — the small business owner, the solo creator, the friend or family member running a household, the operator who manages five different inboxes — aren't engineers. They shouldn't have to become one to get an AI that just works.

So we build for them.

## What we believe

- **Install must be one paste.** If a tool requires a second command, a manual config edit, or an explanation paragraph, we did it wrong.
- **The agent handles its own homework.** If an agent needs a CLI to do a job, the agent installs the CLI when it's asked to do that job. We don't leave that to the operator.
- **Open beats proprietary.** Every skill we ship is source-visible and forked transparently into [23blocks-OS](https://github.com/23blocks-OS). You can see what your agent will do before you install it.
- **Useful beats clever.** No demos that don't survive contact with reality. No agents that hallucinate confidence. Tools you can actually trust with your day.

Lolabots is a brand owned and operated by [23blocks](https://23blocks.com), a software studio based in Boulder, Colorado. The first product, [Lolabot Factory](https://factory.lolabots.com), is live today. More products are in stealth.
