Article summary

The former CEO of GitHub, Thomas Dohmke, has launched a new company called Entire, which aims to build a developer platform for AI agents. The company has received a $60 million seed investment and has released its first product, an open-source CLI that captures agent context and ties it to Git commits. This allows for better traceability and collaboration between humans and AI agents. The goal is to create a platform that enables seamless collaboration between humans and AI agents in software development.

Main themes

  • AI in software development
  • Developer platforms
  • Collaboration tools
  • Git integration
  • Agent-based development
  • Software development lifecycle

What commenters say

  • The marketing language used by Entire is overly vague and focused on impressing investors rather than communicating the product's value to developers.
  • The product's functionality can be achieved through existing tools and methods, such as using commit messages or changelog files to store context.
  • The rise of AI in software development is changing the way code is generated and collaborated on, and new tools are needed to support this shift.
  • Some developers are skeptical about the need for a separate platform for AI-based development and prefer to use existing tools and workflows.
  • The use of AI in software development is becoming increasingly prevalent, and tools like Entire are needed to support this trend.
  • The product's focus on capturing agent context and providing traceability is a useful feature, but its long-term value and scalability are uncertain.
