It’s time to invent software all over again.

What will computing with AI really look like? The only way to get a grip on it is to build new systems for old fundamentals.

Theses & products

Distributed state is hard.

Physics dictate latency, throughput and availability. Data and state should be represented in a way that honors that, without making applications deal with the complexity.

The database that syncs.

Jazz is a local-first relational database. It runs across your frontend, backend and our global storage cloud. Sync partial tables, durable streams and files. Feels like reactive state.

Software is places, not apps.

People inhabit software like a place. Making AI and compute legible for humans (with their sense of space, motion and symbols) helps ergonomics, progress and security.

Garden - Where systems grow.

An AI & multiplayer-first malleable surface for mapping and evolving complex systems. From napkin sketches to software factories and auditable automated companies.

Early research

Approach

Find tall abstractions

In a world drowning in complexity, we need to invent tools that let us do more with less.

Grow open ecosystems

Open-source and simple standards enable permissionless adoption of new tech at scale.

Provide reliable infrastructure

There is immense value in generic, reusable and reliable infrastructure provided at low cost.

Design good user environments

The best tech is made by vertically integrated companies that design for their own users.
