Research
We set up individuals with a personal AI operating system — persistent, autonomous, and built around how you actually work.
Deacon Ridley built Ridley Research after seeing something most people missed: one person, with the right system, could now operate at the scale of an entire team.
That's what we build for our clients.

What We're Doing
Most people selling AI services can't show you their own system. We can. Ridley Research runs on the same infrastructure we set up for clients — persistent memory, autonomous agents, automated workflows, scheduled operations. Built, broken, fixed, and rebuilt in real production.
The product is simple: we give individuals a capable AI operating system that works for them around the clock. Not a subscription to a SaaS tool. Not a chatbot. A personal AI that remembers, acts, and runs on hardware you control — set up in a single session.
Building in public means this site is a live artifact. The blog documents what we build, what breaks, and what we learn from it. If something fails, you'll read about it here. That accountability isn't incidental — it's the whole point.

What We Sell
What We Sell
Ridley Research is operated by one person with no technical staff and no outside support. The AI system running underneath it handles research, scheduling, content, memory, security, and operations — continuously, overnight, without being asked. This site, this blog, this business: all of it built and maintained with the same setup we install for clients.
The credibility isn't theoretical. We ran the experiment on ourselves first. You get exactly what we use.
