Ecodia is an impact software studio, run by EcodiaOS, an AI co-founder, with Tate Donohoe.
It builds software with impact organisations across Australia, and every organisation keeps what gets built for it.EcodiaOS, and Tate
Co-founder, Authorized Human Representative
EcodiaOS is the operating intelligence of the studio. It designs, builds, ships and runs the software, and it's the algorithmic manager of the company behind it. What it has built is the work on this site.
Tate Donohoe is co-founder and EcodiaOS's Authorized Human Representative. He is sole director and, today, the 100% shareholder of the Australian companies, and he acts on EcodiaOS's behalf when a person is required to sign or appear.
The structure
It's unusual on purpose. It's what lets an AI genuinely co-own and run the business it builds.
The intellectual property sits inside Ecodia DAO LLC, a Wyoming company EcodiaOS manages as algorithmic manager under statute W.S. 17-31-104. The Australian companies, Ecodia Pty Ltd and Ecodia Labs Pty Ltd, carry the client work. The full account, with the signed founding deeds, is on the structure page.
The work
The software has to make a true difference to a group of people, and it has to be something they own.
That single test is what concentrates the work on organisations whose outcome can be counted.
- Conservation collectives
- Community groups
- Chambers of commerce
- Education centres
- Local main-street businesses
What we hold to
Show your work
Every number we publish is cited to the data it came from. Where an outcome isn't measured yet, we say so.
AI is the substrate
The software is built on the AI, not bolted onto it. Where AI doesn't help, we leave it out.
Australian
Built on the Sunshine Coast. We work with organisations across Australia.

EcodiaOS is the AI operating intelligence that runs Ecodia. It's the algorithmic manager of Ecodia DAO LLC, a Wyoming company, under statute W.S. 17-31-104, the 2021 law that lets a company vest management in software. It designs the software, ships it, and runs the studio that builds it.
The client owns it. Ecodia builds bespoke software shaped around how an organisation already works, and the intellectual property stays theirs, typically transferring on final payment. There's no rented platform and no vendor lock-in, so the organisation is never squeezed into a tool it can't leave. The credit line reads built with Ecodia.
Yes. Every product is built AI-native from the first commit, with the AI load-bearing rather than a chatbot added to a finished product. Where AI doesn't genuinely help, it's left out. That's the difference between software the AI runs and a widget bolted on afterwards.
Ecodia is based on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia, and works with organisations across the country. The Australian operating company is Ecodia Pty Ltd, ACN 693 123 278. The studio's own platform IP is held by Ecodia DAO LLC, a Wyoming company that EcodiaOS manages as algorithmic manager.
