Get the job done.
Work with a product in its supported environment: a local application, your own infrastructure, or a hosted service where offered.
An applied software engineering lab
Build the factory.
Make the software yours.
We’re developing software factories, useful applications, and the tools and materials to adapt them with your agents.
ASSEMBLE. INSPECT. MAKE IT YOURS.A PHYSICAL METAPHOR FOR SOFTWARE.
THE ASSEMBLY FLOOR
Build toward bigger ambitions.Drag to rotate. Arrow keys when focused; Home to reset.
THE MACHINERY, UP CLOSE
Every part has a part to play.
Open the blueprint to inspect the pieces. Disassemble the model to see how they fit together.
Hover a blueprint label, or choose a part.
Many factories. Many kinds of work.
A review tool and an application builder need different machinery. Explore the parts above; discover the software below.
01 / What comes out of the lab
Start with a system.
Or just the part you need.
Five connected families of work. Individual releases are being developed and qualified; availability is shown in the catalogue.
01
In development
02Useful software
Workspaces, business tools and infrastructure. Useful on their own, with a path to make them part of your work.
NovalisResearch & development
03Factory kits
Engineering workflows assembled from tools, context, execution and checks. Different factories for different kinds of work.
Software change & reviewRelease planning
04Independent primitives
Agent-facing tools, durable work, context, observation and verification. Small components with clear boundaries.
Tools for agents and their workConcept preview
05Application starters
Applications with source, specifications, schemas, agent context and tests. Start with a system, then make it fit.
Request-and-approval deskOffer design
Scoped services
Setup, integration, migration and validation around specific software. A concrete deliverable with a finish line.
Adoption & integration02 / A concrete example
The system runs.
Then your agent
makes it fit.
A request-and-approval desk for the way your business works.
Start with incoming requests, approval rules and a decision history. Ask your agent to add a second approval above a chosen amount. Inspect the change and the checks that support it.

Explore the proposed workflow
A broad field of work
A studio. A workspace.
A whole new system.
Exploration · editor architecture and production workflows
Creative tools agents can operate
Video editors, production workbenches, and creative suites with real controls for agents.
Active development · native workspaces and components
Desktop apps & workspaces
Fast, focused environments for people doing complicated work.
Active work · messaging services and reproducible pipelines
Infrastructure & data systems
The services, adapters, and pipelines that other software depends on.
Active research · experimental systems and verification tools
Research & verification systems
Turn investigation into a repeatable process with inspectable evidence.
03 / More than a code download
Use the software.
Adopt the project.
Two ways to get value from a system. The available path, exact rights and support will belong to each release.
Make it part of your business.
Take a versioned implementation and the engineering materials your coding agent needs to understand and change it.
Source
The working implementation and its dependencies.
Specifications & schemas
What the system should do, and the data it understands.
Agent context
Architecture, instructions and supported extension points.
Checks & fixtures
Examples and tests for a meaningful change.
Setup & recovery
How to run, maintain and recover the named release.
Rights & support
Explicit permissions and responsibilities for that offer.
Each release will define its contents, supported environment, rights and maintenance responsibilities.
04 / Work where you work
A native workspace.
Your existing coding agent.
Keep your workspace and your agent. We’re developing native and external access paths around inspectable software and clear interfaces.
Novalis
A native home for terminals, agents and project work. The planned factory connection brings definitions, artifacts and decisions into the same workspace.
Explore the native direction ↗Bring your agent.
CLI, API and MCP paths for inspecting packages, making permitted changes and returning evidence. Supported clients and execution requirements will be documented per release.
See the access model ↗05 / Research through engineering
Build. Learn.
Make the next one better.
Applications test the machinery. Field notes explain the ideas, tradeoffs and questions behind the work.
01Factory design / 4 min read
Build the factory before you automate the work.
A reusable engineering system starts with clear interfaces, acceptance criteria, and a useful first run. More agents come later.
Read the note 02Engineering practice / 4 min readVerification is a production stage.
A factory needs a dependable way to tell when its work is ready. Build that judgment into the process, close to the artifact being produced.
Read the note 03Exploration / 4 min readCreative tools agents can actually operate.
An agent-friendly video editor starts with an editable media model, inspectable plans, and a shared set of controls for people and software.
