I make AI feel less like a tool and more like a teammate.

A shared workspace for AI, people, and their tools.

AI is genuinely good now. But for most people, it’s still just one more tab in a sea of open apps. A chat box built more for tinkerers than for everyone else.

And worse, you’re in there all by yourself.

The vision

I’m building a workspace where AI and people can work together as a team.

Access to every tool. Every app. All from a single surface.

The proof

I’ve built a version of this already.

At Ramp I made Glass. Today more than a thousand people use it every day. Most aren’t engineers. Nobody told them to use it. It just made the work easier. The story spread fast, to the front page of Hacker News, and across X and LinkedIn.

Every tool, one surface

Connect the stack once (Slack, Notion, Linear, Salesforce) and your AI teammate reaches across all of it, figuring out how to use each one itself.

It knows your job

It understands who you are, what you do, and what you’re responsible for. Then it tailors what it surfaces to your actual work.

Skills that compound

Workflows people build are shared, reused, and recommended across the team, so every solved problem stays solved.

Automation, written in prose

Describe what you want in plain language and it gets built. The same automation that used to need a backlog, a spec, and an engineer now takes a sentence.

Howdy!

I’m Shane 👋

I’m an engineer and designer, and I’ve built software inside companies of every size. The same problem followed me through all of them. The people who understand the work best are almost never the ones allowed to change the tools they depend on, so the best ideas sit one ticket and one sprint away from ever happening.

I’ve spent my career closing that gap: building tools that let non-technical teams do what used to take a team of engineers. I’ve shipped enough of them to know why most attempts fail, and what it takes to make software people actually trust.

The ask

Now I’m building it for everyone.

I’ve left Ramp to build it full-time. To start, I’m looking for a few teams who want to be among the first to live in it, and who want a hand in shaping what it becomes.
