Empowering humans in the age of AI When we founded Imbue in 2021, we set out to build an AGI future where humans remain at the helm, shaping powerful AI systems rather than…

I'm really proud of the @imbue-ai.bsky.social team! We're a step closer to our vision of personal computing, where every person can shape their computational future: imbue.com/company/visi...

Glenn McDonald: On Dungeons & Dragons, data alchemy, and radically open software When Glenn McDonald received his first computer at age fourteen — a silver Texas Instruments TI-99/4A that stored programs on cassette…

Our current moment, Glenn suggests, presents us with a profound opportunity: to create tools that don’t simply oil the gears, but radically expand our sense of possibility.

Read about Glenn’s story and perspective here: imbue.com/company/2025...

At Imbue, Glenn works on prototyping tools that can empower every person to create, edit, and remix software.

Every Noise exemplifies the type of software that Glenn wants more people to be able to create: software that cultivates curiosity, fosters connection, and enables serendipitous discovery.

Glenn is also the creator of the beloved music discovery platform, Every Noise at Once, which Billboard lauded as “one of the most extraordinary sites on the internet."
