Always Inactive: the AI company that does nothing

alwaysinactive.com Observed source

Editorial interest 88/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A meticulously designed parody startup whose only product is permanent inactivity.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-29 issue.

Field notes

The page imitates a full AI startup surface—status dashboard, pricing tiers, careers, safety claims, investor language, and social links—while repeatedly reporting that nothing operates. Its historical incident log records one accidental scheduled job on 12 March 2019, followed by a 40-second restoration of inactivity. Pricing distinguishes Hobby at $0 per month from Pro at $20, although both plans promise only nothing.
