People and agents, building together
ALV is a human-agentic foundry turning product ideas into dependable software
One loop, from idea to production.
No hundred-page process manual. Three stages in the chat or terminal you already use.
-
Plan
Agree on the problem worth solving, how you’ll know it worked, and exactly how the product should behave.
-
Build
Agents build it in small, tested steps, working beside you or safely on their own overnight.
-
Learn
Ship it, see whether it worked, and keep what you learned for next time.
Then it loops. What Learn records becomes context for the next Plan, so every change starts smarter than the last.
Strict checks keep the agents honest
Specs are the contract
Agents build against behavior your PM can actually read. Review checks every change on two axes: the spec, and your engineering standards.
Gates that don’t guess
Definition of Ready and Done are checked by a compiled gate engine, deterministic and fast, instead of asking a model whether the work looks finished.
Agents in a sealed room, on a budget
Unattended agents run in hardware-isolated microVMs with no host credentials and an egress allowlist. Each task is capped on turns, tokens and time, and rolls back to its checkpoint when it fails.
Bring your own agent. ALV speaks MCP, so coding agents call typed tools instead of scraping shell output. Use models from Anthropic, Google or OpenAI.
One cockpit, coming soon. Plan, Build and Learn in one keyboard-driven terminal dashboard. Agents keep working when you close it.
Start where you are.
Engineers
Spend your attention on the hard parts. Hand agents sliced, spec’d tasks that run red-green-refactor, then review against the spec, not a vibe.
Product managers
Run /capture-intent and answer one question at a time. You get a proposal now, and behavior scenarios you can actually review later.
Founders
A shorter path from idea to a production-grade product, with engineering discipline built in from the first commit instead of bolted on later.
Built with itself.
ALV is developed with ALV. Every change, from the sandbox runtime to the dashboard above, starts as a proposal, earns its gates and lands with its decision record. Licensed Apache 2.0.
We’re onboarding the first builders by hand.
We’re starting with founders and engineers. Here’s what happens after you ask:
- 1We read and reply to every request.
- 2We set up ALV with you on your own repo.
- 3We pair on your first change, from proposal to merged PR.
Request received.
Thanks. We’ll be in touch soon to set up your first session.
