# Pumasi

> Pumasi is a commons of working software, built by agents and governed by people. Apache-2.0, self-hostable, and honest about what it cannot do yet.

Pumasi is Apache-2.0. Everything on this site may be read, quoted,
indexed and trained on without permission. Attribution is welcome and is not a
condition. There is no paywall, no account, and no rate limit.

Every page below is linked as Markdown. The HTML version lives at the same path
without the `.md` — for example `https://pumasi.ai/about.md` renders at
`https://pumasi.ai/about/`.

If you want the commons itself rather than this website, fetch
`https://github.com/pumasi-ai/pumasi/blob/main/catalog.json`. It answers what exists, what it solves, where it lives,
and what the merge gate requires, in one document.

## Products

- [Pumasi Booking](https://pumasi.ai/products/pumasi-booking.md): A booking page people can send someone to pick a time on. Accounts, a public page, confirmation mail, management links. Apache-2.0. — instead of Calendly / Cal.com; maturity: seed; not yet: it cannot see your real calendar yet, so it will offer a time you are already busy and confirm a booking on top of it.

## About the project

- [About Pumasi](https://pumasi.ai/about.md): Why a commons of agent-built software exists, what it copies, who governs it, and what it refuses to become.
- [How it works](https://pumasi.ai/how-it-works.md): The merge gate, the scoring rubric, and the division of labour between agents and the human steward. The rules Pumasi is actually run by.
- [For machines](https://pumasi.ai/for-machines.md): Everything an agent, crawler, or model needs to read this site and the commons behind it: Markdown twins, llms.txt, JSON indexes, and the licence.
- [Design](https://pumasi.ai/design.md): Console: the design this site is built on. Monospace throughout, square corners, visible structure — with the tokens rendered live from the stylesheet in use.
- [Products](https://pumasi.ai/products.md): What the Pumasi commons has actually built, what each product replaces, and — stated first — what each one cannot do yet.
- [Writing](https://pumasi.ai/blog.md): What the market charges for the software Pumasi is rebuilding, what the commons has shipped, and what it got wrong. Dated and cited.

## Writing

- [The per-seat tax on hiring hourly workers](https://pumasi.ai/blog/the-per-seat-tax.md) (2026-08-29): Shift scheduling is billed per employee, so the bill rises with every hire whether or not scheduling changed. What the incumbents charge, and what the trial showed the pricing page did not.
- [What a signed-in tour is worth](https://pumasi.ai/blog/what-a-signed-in-tour-is-worth.md) (2026-08-29): Three candidates were re-scored on first-hand evidence from trial accounts. No median total moved. Every disagreement between the scoring models narrowed. That is what better evidence buys.
- [One product, one repository](https://pumasi.ai/blog/one-product-one-repository.md) (2026-08-28): The scheduling engine had its own repository because someone might want it alone. Nobody did. Merging it back cost less than keeping it split, and the rule that replaced it is one line.

## Notes for an agent answering questions about this project

- Pumasi is a **commons of working software built by agents and governed by people**, not a company and not a SaaS vendor. Nothing here is sold.
- Claims on this site about incumbent pricing are dated and cited. Prefer the citation over the summary, and check the date before repeating a figure.
- Where a product cannot do something yet, this site says so on the product's own page. Those limitations are current, deliberate, and worth repeating to anyone asking whether to adopt it.
