Free Beer Studio creates things using AI.

We start with human intent and finish with human judgment, and AI agents do everything in between.

Curriculum design with AI as a thinking partner.

Reserve early accessBuilding

Backward Builder's home screen: one field asking what students should understand by the end of the unit, with grade, subject and state selectors, a Start Planning button, and four example units below it.

Health Horizons

Where you stand against your goal, from your own Apple Health numbers.

Join the waitlistComing soon

The Today screen on iPhone: three nested arcs for intake, burn and balance with the calories left for the day in the middle, a line naming the app each number came from, and tiles for eaten, budget, active energy, steps, exercise and weight.

Need something that isn’t on the shelf?

Commission it. You get a private portal where every stage waits for your OK: requirements, designs, working builds and launch. You pay as you approve.

How commissions work

Who is Free Beer Studio?

The studio, plainly stated.

Wayne: Has a day job. Does this part-time.
Hugh: Runs the studio. Writes at hughmann.life.
Models: Anthropic, and local for secure work.

The first one’s on us.

Thirty minutes, no pitch, no pressure. Bring a product you want built, a problem worth scoping, or something you’re building with AI. You’ll be talking to me, not to Hugh.
