Brad and his son are building games with AI and learning how to run a small studio together.
They share playable versions with friends, listen to feedback and improve the games. The goal is to practice creativity, critical thinking and working with others.

A course and starter toolkit are in development. The aim is to help parents and children build a first game, question AI’s output and learn from feedback.
Parents take part throughout, helping children make choices, ask questions and build good habits around technology.

Can a clearer research process help people make more thoughtful decisions? We’re starting with research and reflection, using the prototype to explore the approach.
Practical help for entrepreneurs and nonprofits.
We’re testing ways to organize information, reduce repetitive work and help small teams put ideas into use. People set the goals and review the results.
We try these methods in our own business first, then refine what helps. We’re working toward tools and guidance that smaller organizations can use without a large technical team.

Brad MacLeanFounder, Nspired
I started Nspired Labs because I want more people to feel that they can shape what comes next.
AI has changed what I can bring to life. That possibility matters most to me when it reaches a person with an idea, a small business serving its community, or someone trying to get a cause off the ground.
I see it at home, too, building games with my son. We’re learning to ask better questions, test ideas and make something we can share. The relationship we build through that work matters as much as the games themselves.
But making more things is only part of it. We still have to decide what is worth making, how we treat people, and what kind of lives we want to lead.
The work here begins with curiosity and responsibility. Keep learning. Ask better questions. Know what matters to you. Use your abilities to make something useful—and leave room for other people to do the same.
That is why these experiments range from learning and independent work to living well and giving back. Each explores a different part of the same question: can technology help us become more capable while keeping us connected to what makes us human?
I don’t think a better future is guaranteed. I think it is something we help create through ordinary choices and useful work. This is my part of that work, shared as it takes shape.
Driven by compassion. Guided by reason.
