Software & Agent Development
Build, test and ship robot software, AI agents, APIs and automation workflows.
Questions to answer before choosing
Use these three questions to define the job before comparing products.
- Which models, tools, protocols and deployment environments must be supported?
- How will developers test, observe and reproduce agent or robot behavior?
- What security boundaries are required before code or tools can act on production systems?
When not to automate yet
Consider whether improving the current workflow would meet your needs first.
- Tasks with tests, logs and a clearly bounded blast radius
- Teams that can review generated code or agent actions
- Experiments where reproducibility matters
- Sandboxing, secrets and production permissions
- Evaluation data, regression tests and rollback
- Who owns incidents after an automated change
- A reason to remove code review or change control
- A guarantee that an agent understands business context
- A safe path to give tools unrestricted access
Three ways to solve the same problem
Choose the lowest layer that reliably removes the bottleneck.
Process first
Standardize the workflow, remove unnecessary steps and measure the bottleneck before buying technology.
Software automation
Use workflows, RPA or AI agents when the work is digital and the inputs and exceptions can be defined.
Physical robot
Use an arm, AMR, drone or humanoid when movement in the real world is the constraint to remove.
