Core principles that guide everything we do.
The Kore is the spine that keeps Spicy Rice Cakes aligned while everything else evolves. It sets the intent for how we experiment, how we ship, and how we bring human taste into technical systems.
Every new workflow, partnership, or feature gets filtered through these fundamentals. If a tool threatens privacy, if a concept lacks logic, or if the output doesn’t feel personal—we step back and recalibrate.
Whether code, robotics, or AI media—it all follows the same pattern. Understanding the flow matters more than rushing to market.
Not every problem needs a cloud service. Not every AI needs to phone home. We build solutions that respect user privacy and keep control local.
Where possible, we work with and contribute to open-source tools. The best solutions come from collaborative development.
