In a world of ever-evolving technology and boundless creativity, innovation remains the driving force behind progress. With the rise of AI, automation, and no-fee tools to rapidly launch and iterate ideas, we are moving faster than ever, and it’s no longer enough to be great at innovating – we must be able to innovate quickly.
This article delves into the development of HiveHax, a Nobody Studios’ portfolio company aimed at bringing together a network of builders to conduct rapid experiments and prototyping.
Feline Fast Innovation
The tale begins with the viral rise of Cat-GPT, the brainchild of Nobody Studios’ Launch Phase Manager Adam Bragg. Cat-GPT is our feline-themed parody of ChatGPT, bringing a unique twist to the world of conversational AI. Imagine a chatbot with a sassy cat persona that engages users through cat gifs. Cat-GPT not only showcases our technical prowess but also adds a touch of humor and charm to the AI landscape.
Adam built the app in a day in order to learn about Chat-GPT and then forgot about it…but a few months later a TikTok influencer stumbled on the website and made it viral.

As Cat-GPT’s popularity surged, it laid the foundation for an idea: what would it look like to create thousands of little experiments and release them into the world?
Large Learning Crowds
In an effort to infuse a robust R&D component into the Studio’s existing Idea Lab, HiveHax was born. This led to the inception of the experiment board, a virtual space where novel ideas could be plucked, developed, and launched into the world with astonishing speed.
At its core, HiveHax’s experiment board serves as a breeding ground for scrappy hackers, rapid prototypers, and individuals with a penchant for swiftly transforming abstract concepts into tangible realities.
Inspired by Cat-GPT’s journey from small experiments to viral success, this approach facilitates early customer feedback, idea validation, and the testing of viability – an essential trifecta in the innovation ecosystem.
Presently residing in a Google Drive, the experiment board is on the cusp of a digital transformation. In the upcoming months, it will find its home on the HiveHax website, fostering an online haven for groundbreaking ideas and their swift realization.
The website, envisioned as a platform for the hacker network, heralds a new era of innovation, with the ambitious goal of amassing 100,000 hackers within 18 months.
A Hive Of Experimentation And Hacking
After conceiving of HiveHax, Adam and Mark McNally (Nobody Studios’ CEO) orchestrated a series of successful hacker meetups – one in Orange County, California dn a second in London. The resounding enthusiasm of the attendees propelled the birth of HiveHax, a portfolio company that stands as an autonomous entity adjacent to the studio.
HiveHax’s journey to fruition was swift yet meticulous. From a low-fidelity mockup, which took a mere two hours, to the involvement of various stakeholders, every step was guided by a shared vision of innovation. A dedicated designer breathed life into the mockup, and with the rapid assistance of a talented webflow developer, the HiveHax website emerged in record time – a testament to the team’s unparalleled efficiency.
How You Can Start Hacking With Us
In conclusion, HiveHax’s journey from concept to reality is a testament to the power of innovation and rapid experimentation. With the experiment board poised to make its debut on the website, HiveHax is set to unleash a wave of creativity and ingenuity, fueled by the hacker community’s unwavering commitment to transforming ideas into impactful solutions.
