Building AI-native infrastructure for the open social web
Equal To AI is a technology startup building AI-native infrastructure for the open social web.
Founded in 2025, the company develops a suite of interoperable frameworks — Lesser, Greater, and Greater Components — that bring intelligent, privacy-preserving automation to federated networks such as Mastodon.
Equal To AI is privately held and based in Columbus, Ohio (USA).
We believe the future of social technology should be open, private, and user-owned — yet as powerful as today's AI-enabled platforms. Equal To AI exists to make that future possible.
Our core frameworks — Lesser (backend) and Greater (frontend) — are fully open source under the AGPL v3 license. We believe in radical transparency and community ownership of critical infrastructure.
We're building the first truly AI-native platform for federated social networks. Our systems integrate AI orchestration, adaptive feeds, automated moderation, and intelligent analytics from the ground up.
Our upcoming hosted service will make deploying federated, AI-enhanced communities as easy as launching a WordPress site — with enterprise-grade scalability and security built in.
The social web is at a crossroads. On one hand, we have centralized platforms with incredible AI capabilities but questionable privacy practices and user ownership. On the other, we have open federated networks that respect users but lack the intelligent features users have come to expect.
Equal To AI bridges this gap. We're proving that you don't have to sacrifice openness for intelligence, or privacy for powerful features.
Our platform enables developers, creators, and communities to build the social experiences they want — with full control, full compatibility with existing federated networks, and AI capabilities that rival any centralized platform.
We're actively developing our platform and building our community. Whether you're a developer, designer, or simply passionate about the open web, there are many ways to get involved.
