Small studio. Senior hands.An isometric drawing of the studio as a small workshop with its front wall cut away, people drawn as simple figures. At the front left, Jason's front desk with an in-tray, where enquiries arrive. Along the back, JP's bench and Marlon's bench, each with a laptop; an AI assistant sits on Marlon's bench, and between the benches an open book on a stand stands for Vibe Kit, the shared knowledge base AI assistants read. A bookcase of open-source repositories stands against the back wall under the sign 'open source · 100+', beside 'zenoware · since 2018'. A door in the right-hand wall is where finished work leaves. 'A new enquiry' carries a card from the front desk to JP and Marlon, builds a piece of work and sends it out through the door; 'the ai reads the conventions' sends the assistant to the book before it writes code.open source · 100+zenoware · since 2018outfront desk123456
