Design Exploration

AI Dark Duck Factory

Six design concepts for the Zestic AI platform, each exploring the playful duality of autonomous AI manufacturing and rubber duck debugging culture.

A "dark factory" is a fully automated facility that operates without human intervention -- lights off, machines running. A "duck factory" is where AI agents are hatched, tested, and deployed. Same thing, really. If it walks like AI and quacks like AI...
