Second-life computers. First-class ideas.
Our plan: reuse and recycle computers and recovered parts in small, community-supported distributed computing facilities, reducing avoidable e-waste.
A DIFFERENT FUTURE IS TAKING ROOT
Not artificial intelligence.
Real intelligence.
Human-centered intelligence, powered by people and supported by computers.
We're building a community where people think, create and care together, with machine intelligence as a tool. More human. More hopeful. More connected to what matters.
Big ideas grow from small communities.
Privacy-first technology. People first, always.
Human at heartPeople make the difference.
Built from what's hereGive good technology a second life.
Powered with purposeRenewables and local resilience.
Grounded in careGardens, animals and neighbors.
WHY BOTSVILLE EXISTS
Technology should feel like a helping hand.
Some people see the future of technology and feel left behind. We see an opportunity to do things differently.
Botsville brings human intelligence and machine intelligence together. Not to replace people — to give more people access to useful tools, trusted neighbors, new opportunities and a voice in what comes next.
See who this is forOUR VISION
Small places. Big possibilities.
Imagine a network of welcoming, community-supported places where technology gives back to the land and the people around it.
Better power. A lighter footprint.
We aim to explore right-sized, off-grid computing supported by solar, wind and, where environmentally suitable, hydroelectric power.
Land that nourishes life.
We envision community gardens helping families facing food insecurity, alongside animal rescues and safe refuges.
Visit, learn and belong.
Our longer-term vision includes off-grid vacation accommodations and agritourism that could help sustain community projects.
These are plans and aspirations, not existing Botsville facilities, food services, animal-care programs or bookable stays. Each project needs suitable partners, resources and approvals.

MORE THAN MACHINES
A place where people and computers support each other.
We believe the best technology is the kind that helps someone find a resource, learn a skill, build a business, grow a garden or simply feel less alone.
Our slogan is a human-first idea, not a claim that we do not use AI. We use machine intelligence as a tool, guided by human judgment, creativity and compassion.
