Zottware
Frameworks for code-driven media.
No. 01 — Approach
Build the machine that does the work.
Zottware is a set of programmatic automation frameworks: code-driven pipelines for media and tooling that turn a topic into finished output, repeatably.
01
Code-driven rendering
Renders, camera moves, and edits are expressed as code. Change a parameter, re-render the whole thing. No timeline scrubbing.
02
Repeatable pipelines
A framework you point at a topic and run again and again. The same process produces output after output, so results never depend on a good day.
03
Agent & MCP tooling
Where automation helps, it’s wired in through MCP. Agents stage scenes, drive engines, and run tests. The automation is a tool in the pipeline.
04
Proven output
These frameworks ship work today. The methods here aren’t theory. They’re what’s already running, below.
No. 02 — Frameworks
The tools behind the feeds.
Code-driven pipelines for media and automation. Each one is a framework you point at a topic.
02
3D explainer renderer
A low-poly pipeline. One visual language, any topic.

03
Data as people
Turns statistics into hand-drawn ink-figure animations where every data point is a person.
“100 Americans” series
04
Reinforcement-learning agents
Game agents that learn behaviors from scratch in Unity, captured as they improve.
05
City-building automation
AI-directed city building in Cities: Skylines — roads, zoning, cinematic tours, timelapses.
06
Machinima director
Agents stage, light, and film scenes inside Garry’s Mod.
Staged scene, recorded in-engine
07
Minecraft build director
Agents build, a virtual camera films.
Build run, captured live
08
Reddit story engine
Turns top Reddit threads into short-form narrated videos with voiceover and captions.
Reddit thread → vertical short
Zottmaps
Maps that tell the story.
Zottfiles
Declassified histories and forgotten stories.
