Assemblage

studio.assemblage.place

Your work is a folder on your computer. Assemblage is the easiest way to put it online, and it stays yours.

You have a practice. You paint, you write, you photograph, you make films, you build things. Assemblage gives you one place to keep all of it and an easy way to share it. Your work lives as plain files in a folder you own, and going live takes a single step.

Set up your agent

You only do this once. Copy the setup, paste it to Claude or whichever agent you already use, and it installs itself. After that, you publish just by asking.

A home for your work

Keep a portfolio, an archive, a journal, or the film you finished last winter in one folder on your own computer, arranged the way you like. Your images stay at full resolution. Your writing stays in plain text. Your video sits right there beside it. It is something you can open, hold, and add to for years.

Yours to keep

Everything you make with Assemblage is yours. Real files, on your disk, in formats you own. Move it to a new laptop, back it up, or hand it to a friend. If you ever stop using Assemblage, your work is still right there on your computer, every page and every image. It was always yours. Assemblage just makes it easy to share.

It works the way you already do

You already make things with an agent like Claude or ChatGPT. Assemblage lets you keep going. Describe your site and your agent builds it, the same way people build software now. There is no new interface to learn and nothing to import. The agent that arranges your site arranges the files on your computer at the same time. Your live site and your archive are the same thing.

Because it is all just files, you can move it anywhere, anytime. More on why that matters.

Context is everything

The more your agent understands about your work, the better the site it can make. The old way was to open a platform and build from an empty template. Now you start from everything you already have.

Drag the archive of your work into your agent and begin shaping it there. Add skills to guide the design and the engineering. Ask it to organize the files on your machine as you go. When it feels ready, say publish with assemblage and your site goes live.

The way it feels

  1. Describe it to Claude. Tell Claude what you want, like “a page for each series, big images, a short bio.” It writes the whole site into a folder on your computer. You can ask it to change anything, anytime.
  2. Look it over. Preview it privately on your own machine until it feels right. Nothing is public until you say so.
  3. Put it online. When it is ready, one step takes it live at you.assemblage.place. Bring your own domain when it feels real.

That is the whole process. See how it works if you want the details.

Simple pricing

Making a site and previewing it is free. Your first site goes public free for a week, so you can put it in front of the world and see how it feels. To keep it public after that, you upgrade.
