Accretional offers AI developer tools and cloud infrastructure products through an integrated platform. Customers use the tools to create software, the cloud products to run and host their software, the platform to handle the journey from idea to app to product to business, and the AI to help them work at every step along the way.

Our Mission - A Superintelligence Platform

Accretional's mission is to build the technical foundation for superintelligence - not to create, own, or control it, but to enable it.

We have a different approach to superintelligence. We envision superintelligence as a vast system, on a decentralized network like the Internet, accountable to and controlled by every participant to the same extent to which they contribute to it. It's something that everybody should be able to use and contribute to on their own terms, closer to an economy or civilization than a person or thing.

Our plan is to offer the right set of tools and high-quality building blocks for creating a distributed, superintelligent system. We think that the same set of tools will make it easier for developers of all skill levels to develop their own software, especially when integrating and interacting with external software, individuals, and businesses. By extension, businesses could use our platform to simplify and accelerate their software development and offer a vastly simpler, easily discoverable way for others to find and use their products. Over time, with sufficiently many participants and a large enough network of easily-integrated tools and information, what might begin as a mostly-centralized software platform could become an increasingly decentralized, powerful system for accomplishing general tasks - one that, with AI, could be navigated simply and directed inward to extend and improve itself.

Artificial superintelligence could be the most powerful, transformative technology of all time. It shouldn't be built in secret or owned by a few. We invite the whole world to build it with us.

Products - Developer Powertools

Brilliant is a secure, browser-accessible, cloud IDE that uses just the right amount of AI in just the right way to maximize developer productivity, while deeply integrating with our other developer tools products. Brilliant runs atop, and serves as the gateway to, our radically re-imagined platform for cloud computing. Technically speaking, the platform is a network-of-networks implementing a global, multi-tenant service mesh based on Linux containers, with built-in functionality for scaling, authentication, data and state management, and cost/price controls. Soon, Accretional's platform will become multi-cloud and offer platform-wide search functionality.

As complex as it sounds, it's easy to use.

Brilliant bundles an LLM workflow engine, environment/API discovery, and a command-line interface that "just work" together to make interacting with other software - including the underlying platform and software running on it - simple and intuitive. There's no setup; once you've opened brilliant.accretional.com you have a full Linux instance at your command, ready to access and control vast amounts of data, software, and cloud resources from a single place.

It feels like an entire operating system for cloud computing in your browser, because it is.

Platform - Ecosystem

You might be left wondering how IDEs and cloud computing could lead to superintelligence. Honestly, by themselves, they cannot.

A platform is only as powerful as the community that builds on it. But developers are rightfully wary of becoming locked in to a provider who might change the rules later, when migration is more expensive, more difficult, or just not possible.

To stave off platform risk, we are building an ecosystem that is fundamentally open. Our design philosophy ensures that users can easily migrate their work or self-host at any time, eliminating the fear of being locked in.

Although we are still finalizing the exact approach, to make this commitment permanent and build lasting trust, we intend to codify portability through open protocols, licenses like the GPL, or something similar. This approach guarantees that our platform must continuously earn its place by providing superior value, rather than through lock-in and inertia.

If we can earn and maintain trust, more developers build and host powerful software—including LLMs—on the Accretional platform. This enriches the ecosystem for everybody else, and brings in more developers and software: a virtuous cycle one might call "Accretional". Our tools amplify the positive feedback loop by making it seamless for developers to integrate their work and leverage the network's growing capabilities. As on-platform AI models, tools, datasets, and orchestration workflows mature, the system will naturally transition from a platform where humans simply build software to one where AI agents can autonomously perform complex tasks and even contribute to the platform's own improvement and expansion.

The result is an emergent superintelligence born from the collective contributions of thousands, if not millions, of people and their work. Such a system is inherently decentralized, robust against single points of failure, and uncontrollable by any single entity. We want to live in a world where the most powerful and transformative technology of all time is something everyone can use and benefit from, and we intend to build it with you.

Why it's Accretional

If this all sounds pretty crazy, try using Brilliant and its workflow system to

Write a workflow that creates workflows
Create an integration workflow that provides detailed instructions for third-party developers to call your software.
Automate the entire process of calling, validating, and refining your integration workflow.
Write a workflow to list all accessible container instances, then run a subworkflow on each to probe its HTTP endpoints with a new refined workflow generated from it's container config

Now, imagine a world where a polished version of these already exist for almost everything you want to do, find, or build. How much more would you get done?

Then imagine how many more people would use, or even pay for, your software if they could easily find and integrate it with their own. How much more would you be incentivized to write and share software with others?

Would anybody be incentivized to adopt or stick with software that is not the most effective at its task if it were easy to identify and understand problems, find better solutions, or migrate to something else? Would you ever choose not to offer paid or professional software on a platform capable of automatically onboarding new users? Would you ever choose not to use that platform when writing your own software, if you could control exactly what data you put into it and how you used it?

How incentivized would people be to adopt, use, and enhance this system as it grows? How much faster and more effective would it become at adopting improvements and rejecting regressions over time? How might that further incentivize adoption, use, and growth?

Some call this "the snowball effect" but we prefer to call it accretion, the process by which gas and dust coalesce into planets, stars, galaxies, and supermassive black holes. Past a certain point, gravity does all the work.

About - Company Details

Mplode Corporation is the Delaware C-Corp behind Accretional, which operates out of a cozy Jackson Square office in San Francisco, California. It was founded in March of 2024 by Fred Weitendorf, who serves as its CEO and President.

Even if you're skeptical that The System That Builds Itself is possible, that Accretional will build it, or that it would be used for good, believe this: you deserve to have a say in what the future looks like, and feel genuinely hopeful about it.
