What Agentic Labs does

Agentic Labs is making software design and architecture less painful by building AI into the process. Today, developers have no shortage of tools for instantly creating chunks of code, but designing the systems that integrate this code is the hardest and most manual part of software engineering. Our first product is Glide, an AI-first editor purpose-built for writing technical design docs. It connects to your codebase and saves your engineering team time on triage, planning, and implementation of complex code changes.

AI system design tools for dev teams

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We're building Glide, an AI-first editor for writing technical design docs. It connects to codebases to help engineering teams plan, triage, and coordinate complex changes faster. Instead of just generating code snippets, it focuses on system design, which is usually slow and manual.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in New York, NY and plan to base the company here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We're based in New York where we can stay close to early users and our network. It's a large tech hub with deep engineering teams who struggle with design-doc workflows.
