UNUSABLE.Ai is an experiment and art lab. The output ranges from data-driven visual pieces to intentionally dumb prototypes built to expose how brittle software, workflows, and "intelligence" can be when you poke them in the right place.
A public log of experiments: custom agents with questionable work ethic, data-art maps, browser sabotage, and audio experiments that sometimes become artworks or performances. Most projects are meant to be explored, copied, remixed, or laughed at. Sometimes all four.
Pretty much everything here is made in consultation with AI. Not in a “press button, receive genius” way. More in a “pair programming with a tireless collaborator who occasionally lies” way.
The goal is not to pretend AI is magic. The goal is to treat it as a tool for shipping experiments faster, and documenting what happens when you do.
Audio plugin sales are moving to unusable.net under Unusable Engineering. This site stays focused on experiments and art.
Some experiments need compute, datasets, or boring amounts of time. Sponsorship helps. Sponsors get attribution and a backlink. Nobody gets gated content or special access. If you want to fund something, you’re funding the work, not buying a velvet rope.
If that sounds appealing, head to Sponsor.

Built by Rasmus Nyåker. Product builder by trade. Slightly allergic to busywork. Interested in systems, audio, and the fine line between “prototype” and “problem.”
If you’re wondering whether AI “really made it”: yes and no. AI is involved everywhere. Accountability is still human.
