Twelve Balloons

The Future of Apps Is Conversational

We're a collective of builders rethinking how humans interact with technology — not through clicks, but through conversation, collaboration, and creativity.

About the Collective

Who We Are

We're developers, designers, researchers, and systems thinkers exploring a new interface paradigm — one where the UI is generated, not predefined.

Our client work shapes real-world tools. But our boldest ideas begin in-house: building our own agents, testing workflows, and reimagining how humans and machines think together.

Our Mission

  • Let ideas fly — faster, lighter, bolder
  • Build open-source tools and experiments
  • Share patterns, practices, philosophies
  • Teach AI-native ways of working
  • Redesign the interface — from the prompt up

Featured Projects

Spotify Agent

A conversational UI that links natural language — voice or text — to real-time music control via Spotify.

Prototype in progress

Memory Core

A shared "brain" that enables LLMs to retain evolving goals, context, and history across multiple users — like a collective memory for teams.

Live Experiments

  • Conversational interfacesApps that speak, listen, and respond
  • Composable UI agentsLLMs that assemble interfaces from intent
  • Prompt-to-UI systemsDesign frameworks that respond to language
  • Ambient interfacesUI that dissolves into experience
  • Programmable surfacesLightweight UI elements controlled by AI tools

Community

Twelve Balloons is a growing collective connected by a shared curiosity about how humans and machines evolve together. We build in the open, share what we learn, and believe creativity scales faster when it's visible.
