Developer Tools

Playbooks for the AI-native era of developer experience — where the definition of "developer" now includes makers, creators, AI copilots, and autonomous agents, and platforms must be designed for all of them.

Our Point of View

The definition of "developer" is being rewritten. It's no longer just engineers writing code in an IDE. It's makers building with AI assistants. Creators assembling workflows from tools and connectors. Copilots pair-programming alongside humans. And autonomous agents discovering, integrating, and operating on platforms with no human in the loop. The platforms that win will be the ones designed for all of these consumers — not just the traditional developer.

This shift demands a fundamentally new approach to developer experience. Documentation isn't just for humans to read — it's the primary interface through which agents understand your platform. APIs aren't just about ergonomics for a developer in a code editor — they need to be discoverable, self-describing, and composable by autonomous systems. And emerging protocols like MCP and A2A aren't curiosities — they're the connective tissue of the agentic web.

Our team builds at this frontier every day. Forge, Gleo, Chisel, Hammer — each is designed for AI-native consumption from the ground up. We don't just theorise about agent-ready platforms — we ship them, and that gives us firsthand understanding of what it takes to build developer experience that works for humans and machines alike.

Our Experience

AI-Native Platform Design

Deep expertise in designing platforms where AI agents are first-class consumers — from MCP server architecture to structured tool descriptions and agent-optimised documentation.

Protocol & Interface Engineering

Hands-on experience with MCP, A2A, and emerging agent interaction protocols — designing the skills, tools, and connectors that agents use to discover and consume platform capabilities.

Developer Tools at Scale

Track record building and shipping production developer tools — CLIs, SDKs, APIs, and platform infrastructure — with the DX craft that comes from being tool builders ourselves.

Playbooks

Two outcome-driven engagements — from assessing AI-native readiness to designing and building agentic interfaces.
