Details
Tessl is an AI-native software development company founded by Snyk founder Guy Podjarny, advancing a model called spec-centric or “AI-native” development. Instead of treating code as the source of truth, Tessl treats specifications and tests, with AI agents continuously generating and maintaining the implementation that satisfies them. The platform offers tooling for writing specs, generating modules, and binding them into larger systems, alongside a registry concept for AI-built components. Tessl is well-funded and influential in shaping the discourse on AI-native engineering.
