Mike's Notes
Ajabbi and Pipi don't appear in Google Search results. This is deliberate, while I work out how to build Pipi from versions 6 to 9 to solve a big, complex, expensive problem for humanity. 557 pages of notes so far on this blog. I do share links with people who want to video chat about stuff, so is this website traffic coming from people sharing links? I would be fascinated to know.
Traffic is growing rapidly.

How curious.

The unforeseen rise in curiosity about Pipi
By: Mike Peters
On a Sandy Beach: 08/12/2025
Mike is the inventor and architect of Pipi and the founder of Ajabbi.
The Plan
My plan was to
- Understand the problem
- Solve the problem
- Offer the solution so anyone can use it
What I did
- Started building in 1997
- Focused on what was required, not what I shouldn't do
- Learned by doing
- Sometimes in production in NZ, and very popular
- Went through 9 major versions
- Thousands of moving parts
- No version control
- No documentation, just drawings on paper
- Wrote bullet point notes to myself so I wouldn't forget
What I thought might happen
- Get into a startup program
- Create an MVP
- Start out in NZ
What actually happened
- A community grew out of nowhere
- All overseas, not in NZ
- An audience of data scientists and MLOps
- Got a brave first customer to experiment on
- Pipi generates initial documentation for developers using templates based on the models in my head (20K web pages so far)
What happens next
- I'm sure it will be fun 😈
- I'll tell you when I know 😀
- It's like waiting for Santa Claus 👽
