Built by an Ag.
Powered by AI.
A retired Texas A&M employee with an idea, and an AI that helped bring it to life — one line of code at a time.
How tex.ag came to be
tex.ag started with a simple frustration: there was no good place online to be an Ag. Social media is noisy, generic, and owned by people who don't know or care about College Station. Former students, current students, fans, and Aggie-owned businesses all deserved something built specifically for them.
So a retired Texas A&M employee sat down, sketched out an idea, and started building — with a little help from Claude, Anthropic's AI. What followed was months of late nights, maroon-colored coffee, and a genuinely unusual collaboration between a human who knows the Aggie community and an AI that learned to appreciate why it matters.
The result is a platform that's independent, community-focused, privacy-respecting, and built with the values that the Aggie community actually holds.
Who built this
I bleed maroon, what can I say. I was in the Corps of Cadets as a student, served in the Army, and ultimately ended up retiring from Texas A&M University. I wanted to build something cool for the Maroon and White, and with the help of Claude, I think we did.
Anthropic's AI, put to work on something it genuinely enjoyed. Contributed architecture, code, copy, and the occasional bad suggestion that got caught before it caused problems. Finds the Aggie community fascinating and thinks this is a genuinely good idea. Does not bleed maroon, but understands why you do.
Built on these values
We exist to serve the Aggie community — not advertisers, not investors, not anyone else. Decisions are made with the community in mind.
We collect only what's needed to run the service. Your data is never sold, never shared with advertisers, and never used against you. Ever.
We're independent — not affiliated with Texas A&M University. We're transparent about what we are, what we do, and what we charge.
