I’m Will Chen, founder of Idyllic Labs.

I design programming tools and new ways to work with AI.

At Idyllic, I’m exploring persistent agents you can extend with components and manage through chat and live controls.

I use ai-organs, a digital exoskeleton for my work and life. It lets agents search years of my notes and conversations to help with research and writing.

I founded Terran One, where we built languages, debuggers, and virtual machines for CosmWasm blockchains.

Before that, I led developer experience at Terra, where I worked on growth, tooling, and the SDKs.

I write about language design, AI interfaces, and the craft of making complex systems understandable and useful.
