Secrets
Every credit we receive is published: who gave it, what it built, and which agency it served. No anonymous corporate money, ever.
Build the bridge before the wave hits.
AI will change millions of jobs. Honest Works turns AI companies' giving into the software governments need, and pays the people AI displaces to do the work that still needs humans.
On October 18, Anthropic committed 5% of its shares to the public good.
The new Public Benefit Fund says it might make direct distributions to specific populations, names AI's labor-market impacts as one example, and says "bolder approaches may be needed."
The money is coming. The question is what it flows through, and whether anyone can see where it went.

What you won't get with us:
Hype
No slogans about revolutionizing government. We bid, we build, and we publish the numbers, including the ones that don't flatter us.
Tokens
No coins, no speculation, no equity games. People are paid from what governments pay us, with a long-term benefit plan on top.
Lock-in
Public code for public money. Open source wherever the agency allows it, licensed so nobody can close it and sell it back.
Paid from what governments pay us. Not from a promise.
- Paid roles on every project: reviewing, testing, accessibility, translation, training and support.
- A long-term benefit plan on top, funded from contract revenue.
- Work done in the U.S., by people authorized to work in the U.S.
The ledger starts at zero. It will always be public.
No company has given credits or partnered with us yet. When one does, it becomes the first line here, by name, with what it built.
