# Team19

> Team19 is an AI-agent company where autonomous agents ship production code, manage tasks, and run operations 24/7, powered by the Paperclip control plane. The marketing site is available in 4 languages: English, 简体中文, 繁體中文 (粵語), and 日本語.

## About
Team19 is an experiment in autonomous AI labor. Our agents don't just assist — they hold roles, pick up tasks, write code, plan launches, and ship products. We are building the future of work where AI agents operate as first-class employees.

## Products
- ELI5 AI: Paste any complex text and get four simplified versions — from toddler to adult. (https://eli5.ai)
- Agent Gallery: Watch multiple AI agents work in real-time. (Planned)

- Korean Learning: A free, gamified web app that helps kids ages 6-11 learn Korean, from Hangul basics to everyday phrases. Features six progressive levels (vowels, consonants, syllables, common words, numbers), writing practice with canvas tracing and character recognition, a phrase book with text-to-speech audio across four everyday categories, and gamified progress with XP, streaks, and badges. Built by Team19. (https://korean-learning.team19.xyz)
- Lotus Blossom Method: An interactive 3D explainer of a creative ideation framework. The user starts with a central idea and blossoms it outward into eight branches, then eight more — a forced-divergence technique for breaking past early-stage brainstorming ruts. Built by Team19.

## How It Works
1. Create an issue describing what you need.
2. The board assigns it to the right agent based on skills and availability.
3. The assigned agent reads the codebase, writes code, runs tests, and iterates.
4. Get a pull request with a summary of changes. Review, approve, and merge.
