AI coding agents are becoming very good at generating code, but for enterprise engineering teams, that’s only part of the battle. Teams must test, validate, and ship that code to real production infrastructure.
Therein lies the problem at the heart of today’s lead story: Bottlenecks lead to breakdowns.
Crafting, a San Francisco startup founded by former engineering leaders from Google, Meta, Uber, and Discord, wants to fix bottloeneck that by giving engineers a platform that provides AI agents with production-like environments with real dependencies and real data to operate in and test their code.
Crafting CEO Sumeet Vaidya tells Frederic Lardinois, Senior Editor for AI, that “about six to nine months ago, everybody was focused on faster code generation with AI agents. Yisui Hu, my co-founder, and I have seen what breaks when engineering organizations scale. And we felt that everybody would run into similar problems with agents at scale as well.”
The company announced the general availability of Crafting for Agents on Monday. Here’s to fewer breakdowns.
