What we build.
Fully autonomous software engineering at scale.
Descant applies a disciplined engineering process from problem analysis through implementation, verification and independent review. Structured evidence and software-enforced checks uphold that standard while the system coordinates dependencies and follow-ups and tracks cost across the full body of work.

OH HAI carries updates, questions and decisions between people and agents. Work can continue across sessions, tools and providers, with a durable place for the decisions that need a person.
Explore OH HAI →Scale depends on structure.
Dependable execution comes before scale. An ambitious project has shared decisions, changing requirements and work that becomes visible only after implementation begins.
Our systems preserve the intent and knowledge behind that work, coordinate execution and verify outcomes. Disciplined processes make quality more consistent. With that foundation, people and agents can take on larger, more ambitious bodies of work.
Open foundations.
MA2H defines a shared protocol for communication and coordination between people and agents. Issuegraph makes relationships between units of work explicit and readable by software.
Both grew out of problems we encountered while building and operating autonomous engineering. We made them open so those foundations can be useful across products, tools and model providers.
Built to advance with the models.
More capable models let us attempt more ambitious work.
As models improve, some of the support around them becomes unnecessary. We want to remove it and put the new capability to work. The opportunity grows as less engineering is spent compensating for limitations and more is spent expanding what people can accomplish.
Purpose, relevant information and coordination still matter. Our work is to connect model capability to useful outcomes, and continually improve how much those systems can achieve.
Engineering grounded in use.
We use Descant to develop and improve our own products. Sustained work exposes repeated mistakes, coordination problems, unnecessary cost and knowledge that stops being useful as a system changes. Those observations shape what we build next.
Autonomy was founded by Tim Layton, whose engineering career includes Shopify, Amazon and Boulevard. The standard is software that remains understandable, maintainable and dependable as the work grows.
