Named for the man
who started it.
In 1837, Charles Babbage designed a machine to take over computation — a century before computers existed. He believed the tedious, error-prone, repetitive work of human clerks belonged to machines.
We think he was right — and that most businesses are still full of clerk-work: copying, checking, chasing, compiling. babbage exists to finish the job, with today's AI instead of brass gears.
People should do the thinking. Machines should do the ordinary.
