Andrew Shiau — Designer & builder

I build things with AI agents, then keep the good ones.

This site is a running index of experiments made with language models — not a portfolio of finished work. Some are tools, some are systems, some are slop. Each links to the real thing.

The premise

The interesting work now is the collaboration, not the artifact.

Selected experiments

01

Aping the modernists →

A set of agent skills that generate documents in the voice of the Swiss typographers — Müller-Brockmann and Experimental Jetset. This very site is one of their outputs.

 Agent skills · 2026 02

A recipe system →

A hand-built, agent-maintained collection of 120+ recipes and cooking essays — Jekyll, self-owned CSS, system Helvetica. Precision cooking as a design object.
