Frequently asked

What's the director's cut?

A longer version of every episode with more failure footage, deeper engineering reasoning, and character beats that didn't make the public release.

Do I get the code?

Yes. Every Patreon tier includes access to the private GitHub repos for each build. Hardware lists, wiring diagrams, and trained models included.

What's a board meeting?

Director-tier members are invited to a monthly private Q&A with Brad. We discuss the roadmap, answer engineering questions, and occasionally consult Pam from HR.

How do I get in the Discord?

Join here. Public channels are open to everyone. Tier-gated channels unlock automatically when you subscribe — Patreon syncs your role to Discord. Be sure to link your Discord account on your Patreon profile.

Can I cancel?

Anytime. Patreon handles billing, cancellation, and renewals. Your CoopOS access is monthly, not annual.
