The world does not need more stuff.
It needs better ideas.
The world does not need more stuff.
It needs better ideas.
At Apes on fire, we are engineering how AI can help you break through the toughest creative challenges.
Our mission: build the first truly co-cognitive system designed for bold thinking, scalable innovation, and fearless creativity.
A machine that thinks with you, not for you, amplifying your human ingenuity with computational intellect.
Let's ignite your boldest ideas — faster.
We believe creativity and intelligence should be shared infrastructure, not gated technology.
Our vision is to make AI-powered thinking and innovation attainable to anyone who dares to solve hard problems - from startups to students, from scientists to storytellers.
When more people can think bigger, civilization gets smarter. It might sound like science fiction, but it is the most practical path forward. A society where intelligence is multiplied - not centralized - invents faster, learns faster, and lifts more people with it.
As we grow, we plan to fund education and applied learning that expand human potential alongside machine intelligence. Better tools, better access, better ideas.
We are not chasing the fantasy of fully autonomous AI. The world does not need more bots trying to replace humans - it needs systems that help humans think better.
Our approach turns the AGI narrative on its head. We are building machines that get better at the problems we care about, not independent from the people they serve.
That shift changes everything: how we design context and memory, how we measure safety and alignment, how we define intelligence itself.
We do not want AI that acts without us. We want AI that understands with us.
At Apes on fire, engineering and creativity belong together. Logic without imagination is sterile. Imagination without structure burns out fast.
When the two merge, ideas evolve into systems - and systems evolve into breakthroughs. Our work sits at that intersection: building architectures that make creativity measurable, iterative, and scalable without losing the spark that keeps it human.
The next era of progress will come from shared cognition - a new kind of intelligence that loops us together.
If you are working on something bold, strange, or nearly impossible - and you want to explore what co-cognitive systems could do for it - reach out: team@apesonfire.com.
Four ideas worth your scroll. These are real experiments, field notes, and frameworks from the frontier of human x AI collaboration.

Exploring how shared cognition between humans and machines unlocks radically faster experimentation.
