One accountable operator

Kiren owns the boundary and the release.

Wild Manual is the AI agency arm of Fantasy Metals, which I founded for fixed-scope research, reliable agent workflows, and shippable interface systems.

Wild Manual is a brand of Fantasy Metals, not a separate legal entity. One accountable operator owns scope and release.

The practice

I work across research tooling, agent systems, and interface design. The common job is turning a messy source, unreliable workflow, or drifting product surface into a finished artifact with a boundary someone can inspect.

The work is async by default. Writing carries the scope, decisions, evidence, and handoff. A call can help when it removes ambiguity, but it is not the product.

The method

Before I start, we write down the finish line and what is out of scope. A successful first run is not enough to ship. I run the agreed checks, leave the limits visible, and send the manual with the files.

Done is a verification event, not a feeling.

How AI is used

AI helps me collect source material, get a draft moving, generate code, run tests, and format deliverables. I still resolve source conflicts, decide what access is warranted, review security, and make the final call on quality.

I do not sell detector evasion or unreviewed output. A model can suggest; I am accountable for where the work stops and whether it is ready.

Seller identity

Wild Manual is the AI agency arm of Fantasy Metals, founded by Kiren Srinivasan.

A written scope, invoice, or marketplace agreement controls the project-specific seller, price, payment schedule, start condition, and deliverables.
