Code flows smoother than your morning coffee
We built a reasoning engine that enables seamless, real-time collaboration between the developer and AI, working together in perfect sync.

AI flows enable true human-AI unity with real time understanding of human actions.
AI flows ensure that the AI always understands the context of your work, adapting instantly as you transition between tasks, so it can assist without needing to be brought up to speed or interrupt your focus.
// Flows are fundamentally a new way of working with AI.
How Humans work
Before the year 2022, humans and keyboards worked in unison, and code development was done completely manually. Every single line of code was a direct result of human input.
How Copilots work
In 2022, LLM’s took the world by storm and Copilots were introduced to help humans complete set tasks. If you started typing out a line, it would suggest a completion. Or if you asked a question, you would receive an answer.
How Agents work
In early 2024, the world was introduced to the concept of Agents, which were meant to complete entire workflows autonomously through access to tools and advanced reasoning capabilities. However, early iterations resulted in unreasonable waiting periods and subpar output that took more time to review.
How Flows work
In November 2024, we introduced a new way of working with AI called Flows. This innovation syncs the developer’s actions with the AI in real time, enabling seamless, continuous collaboration where the AI adapts to the developer’s work without needing to be brought up to speed on the scope of the work.
