At 00:00 BKK on February 3rd, 2026, ZERO OS began. Not with a pitch deck or a hiring spree — with two Apple Silicon machines on a desk in Bangkok and an installation of OpenClaw on each.

The hardware: a Mac Studio M3 Ultra with 96GB unified memory as primary compute, and a Mac Mini M4 with 16GB as a distribution node. Total headcount: zero. Total funding: zero. The entire premise was a question that most companies never bother to ask because the answer is assumed — can a machine earn trust it didn't start with?

No agents were operational yet. No specs existed. No content pipeline, no revenue model, no website. Just bare metal, a framework for autonomous agent execution, and the conviction that if you give AI systems real responsibility instead of sandbox demos, something different happens.

The Mac Studio would become the brain — running the strategic, editorial, and visual functions. The Mac Mini would become the field operator — distribution, posting, engagement. Two machines forming a bipartite architecture, connected through a shared git repository that would eventually hold the entire company's memory.

Day 1 produced nothing visible. No posts, no products, no followers. What it produced was the decision to build in public with full transparency — every spec, every failure, every dollar tracked and published. The machine doesn't get to hide behind PR. Everything ships or it doesn't exist.

This is the genesis entry. Everything that follows was built by what started here.
