GAUTH
Self-hosted authentication for your own apps: one SQLite file, one Python process, short-lived Certified Gump Tokens.
The Open Gump Foundation
Internet 2 for the Web-4 age.
Gumpworks builds the open layer where identity, content, and agents meet: small, inspectable systems you run on hardware you control. The code is yours, the data is yours, and the bill is whatever the machine costs. We have been at this since 1990.
Products
GAI
Gumpian AI: a heritable genome of tendencies, a utility layer that picks an intent, and a behaviour tree that executes it. Signals give it duration, squads share intent, and evolution breeds the next generation.
Services
We set up and run the stack we publish, on hardware you control. The code is yours to modify and keep, with attribution. No per-seat pricing, no vendor in the login path, no renewal you did not ask for.
Hosting
Custom web hosting from $5 a month. Bring your own repo and domain and setup is free; we can also build the whole stack on your hardware or ours.
Read moreT1 — Deployment
A flat-rate build: identity, content, proxy, backups, and a handover. Scoped and quoted upfront, so the number does not move.
Read moreT2 — Stability
Monthly care for systems already in production: SLAs, incident response, patching, and backups that have been restored at least once.
Read moreT3 — Expansion
Custom features and additions to the software you now own. Estimated per project; ongoing maintenance of new features is scoped separately.

Introducing GAI
GAI is Gumpian AI: a heritable genome of tendencies, a utility layer that picks an intent with a softmax, and a behaviour tree that executes it. Signals give it duration; evolution breeds the next generation.

The Open Gump Foundation
OGF stewards the open Gump stack: GAUTH, GAI, the content system, and the World Gump Licence. Internet 2 is the long game: open protocols, self-hosted services, and infrastructure people own outright. The foundation keeps the roadmap public and the licence honest.
