Own the pipeline. Outsource nothing that matters.
Glad Labs builds the tooling, the hardware, and the playbooks for people who want to run their own AI publishing pipeline — without handing the content, the relationships, or the vendor-lock-in to a SaaS company.
The product is Poindexter: an open-source autonomous publishing agent that runs one post a day at a quality score above 80, in our house style, on commodity enthusiast-grade hardware. No paid APIs. No external inference. No one else deciding what you can write about.
Poindexter Pro is how you get there fastest — the production-tuned prompt packs, configuration, and premium dashboards from the live system, the VIP Discord, and the full operator book. The Writing & Research site (gladlabs.io) is where we show our work.
Every model runs on hardware you own. Ollama, SDXL, Piper. No paid inference, no egress to a vendor dashboard.
Fork the entire pipeline. Run it. Modify it. Sell services or a SaaS around it. Permissive license with a patent grant — built to be integrated, not just admired.
Engine is free and open-source. Poindexter Pro is $19/mo or $180/yr (Founding Member rate, locked for life). Cancel anytime, keep everything downloaded. Stripe-less — checkout runs on Lemon Squeezy.
PostgreSQL. Next.js. FastAPI. Ollama. Prometheus + Grafana. Everything else is a liability.
