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.
AI Event Badge Generator
It started as a playful Twelve Balloons lab experiment: type a prompt and watch your badge come alive in that style, colours and motion shifting uniquely to your words.
Style generator → maps your text to colours, gradients, typography and textures
Physics generator → sets how elements move, from drift to burst
Motion generator → shapes animation curves and interactions
Animation layer → merges it all into a seamless, live loop
What's your badge's look?
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.
AI Event Badge Generator
Type a prompt and watch your badge come alive in that style. An API-based architecture for event-ready scenarios where organisers can generate badges at scale.
What We're Building
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.
