The Whole everything network

About 198 registered domains and 534 public sites, built and run from one desk in Austin, every one of them Agents First. The Whole is the Whole Earth Catalog's: access to tools. Here is the map.

The flagship and the family

Ten hubs. Each one is a front door to a part of the network.

  • WholeTechwholetech.comThe flagship and front door: the whole network, its sessions and its standards.
  • WholeReachwholereach.comThe AI marketing engine, its editions, and the live test-site network with build progress on every engine.
  • WholeSEOwholeseo.comOne marketing engine, six industries: it audits a live site and produces content and on-page work grounded in its own market.
  • WholeAustinwholeaustin.comEvery Austin sector, one index: 149 Austin sites across 85 industry sectors.

  • WholeTech, Texaswholetx.comThe Austin-grounded chapter of a thirty-year web shop. Three decades, one drawl.

Two engines

One drives demand, the other builds the thing demand lands on.

  • AME, the Auto Marketing Engine

    Point it at any website and get a marketing department: it audits the live site and produces content, on-page fixes and growth work grounded in the site's own market. Propose-only by design; nothing ships without the owner's approval. automarketingengine.com

  • AWE, the Automated Web Engine

    The design half: it audits a site against the house design bar, assembles a brief from the site's own knowledge base, and builds to a preview before anything goes live. automatedwebengine.com

  • AWE Concierge, free

    A site assistant that runs one hundred percent in the browser: no cloud, no API costs, no monthly fee, $0 per question. It answers from the site's own pages, cites its sources, and hands off to the owner when it does not know. Two lines of code. Try it.

Standards

Agents First: the principle every site on the network is scored against. agentsfirst.dev, ai.wholetech.com.

Agents First

Every site on the network is built to be read by an AI agent as easily as by a person: an AGENTS.md contract, llms.txt, a Markdown twin of every page, structured data, and a robots.txt that welcomes agents instead of chasing them off. The scorer and the principle live at agentsfirst.dev; the network's AI site is ai.wholetech.com.

The counts move week to week; wholetech.com keeps the live tally.
