Introduction

Welcome to Machine Friendly, where we build software that works for humans. We believe that technology should be accessible, intuitive, and genuinely helpful. Our mission is to create digital experiences that feel natural and enhance human capabilities rather than replace them.

In a world increasingly dominated by complex systems and artificial intelligence, we focus on the human element. We design and develop solutions that respect human agency, promote understanding, and foster collaboration between people and machines.

Services

We offer a range of services to help organizations build more human-centered technology:

Our approach combines technical expertise with a deep understanding of human needs and behaviors. We don't just build what's technically possible; we build what's genuinely useful.

Projects

Here are some examples of our recent work:

Project Description Technology
Clarity An open-source documentation system that makes complex technical information accessible and actionable React, GraphQL
Companion A privacy-focused personal assistant that helps users navigate digital information without surveillance Python, TensorFlow
Bridge Integration platform that connects legacy systems with modern applications while preserving data integrity Node.js, Kafka

Approach

Our development process follows these key principles:

┌───────────┐     ┌───────────┐     ┌───────────┐     ┌───────────┐
│ Understand│     │  Design   │     │  Develop  │     │  Refine   │
