Stwipe finalizes acquisition of OpenWouter, a one-person API that returns definitive negative responses with no integration work required.
The acquisition introduces a low-latency, high-accuracy refusal endpoint to Stwipe’s infrastructure, filling a critical gap in their product suite. For engineers, this means a production-ready API for negative responses without additional development overhead, though availability is limited to Wouter’s working hours.

Stwipe gains a single-person API (Wouter) that returns 200 OK with a refusal payload, eliminating the need for custom refusal logic.
The acquisition requires no integration workstreams, but Wouter’s 09:00 to 17:00 CET availability and August unavailability remain unchanged.
Wouter’s refusal accuracy is claimed at 100%, with zero sycophancy or hallucination, though benchmarks are self-reported and unverified.
