20 Days Until CRAFT Beta: What You're Actually Getting
SPECIAL SERIES :: THE CRAFT™️ PRE-BETA :: POST 11
In 20 days, something I've been building alone for over 70 weeks becomes something we build together.
February 1, 2026 marks the official launch of the CRAFT Framework Beta. But this isn't the typical beta where you get early access to buggy software in exchange for unpaid QA work. This is different.
Let me show you exactly what you're getting.
The Founding Chef Recognition
Everyone who joins during Beta automatically becomes a Founding Chef. This isn't marketing fluff—it's a permanent title that signals you were here from the beginning, when CRAFT was still being shaped by its earliest community.
Founding Chefs get priority access to new features, direct influence on development priorities, and recognition that can never be earned later. When CRAFT has thousands of users, you'll still be listed among the founding members who helped build it.
The Beta Legend Opportunity
A small number of exceptional contributors will earn Beta Legend status—complete with free lifetime access to CRAFT. These aren't randomly awarded. They go to people who contribute recipes that help others, provide feedback that shapes development, and actively build the community.
The window for earning this closes when Beta ends. There's no paid tier that matches it later.
What You Actually Get Access To
The CRAFT recipe library—48 projects worth of battle-tested prompts organized into cookbooks. Documentation that explains not just how to use recipes, but how to create your own. A community of AI power users who are tired of starting from zero every conversation.
And because CRAFT runs on self-hosted WordPress, your data stays yours. No third-party AI processing your prompts. No wondering what happens to your company's confidential information. Privacy by architecture, not by policy.
Why 20 Days Matters
I've spent over 70 weeks building CRAFT while working full-time in cybersecurity. Sundays and Mondays only. Every recipe has been tested in real work, on real projects, across every major AI platform.
But I've never had other people try it. February 1 is when that changes.
The people who join in those first weeks will have outsized influence. Not because I'm artificially limiting spots, but because early feedback shapes what CRAFT becomes. The recipes that get contributed early become the foundation everyone else builds on.
The Honest Constraints
This is a Beta. Things will break. Documentation won't cover every edge case. The community is being built from scratch.
If you want polished and complete, wait for the full release. If you want to help build something while it's still malleable, these next 20 days are your window.
