Build your software factory on Amika's operating system

🏭 🧑‍🏭 🤖

[Dylan Mikus @dbmikus]

We launched @amikadev: the open source operating system for AI agents to automate coding and prove the code correct

Amika runs fleets coding agents in cloud VMs to automate flows like:

- fix production errors, with a test proving the fix
- ship user feature requests from Slack

New akfs tool, part of the Amika runtime

[Dylan Mikus @dbmikus]

I run my GTM with markdown files and claude/codex, but I missed some of the structure you get from using a SQL database

So I made a open source CLI tool called "akfs" to work with the YAML frontmatter in markdown files

In UNIX tradition, it's composable

[Dylan Mikus @dbmikus]

A software factory needs 5 things:

1. A workstation for every agent
2. Rules wired into hooks, not just AGENTS.md
3. Feedback that runs while the agent works
4. A workflow control plane
5. Agentic CI that fixes, not just passes/fails

[Dylan Mikus @dbmikus]

@amikadev shipped a Slackbot that spawns coding agents and gives each its own sandboxed computer.

Runs any model + harness inside a Linux sandbox. It connects to your repos and can run and test your actual apps per sandbox.

We can configure different agents per channel. Bug-fix channel gets a bug-fix agent. Every Slack Connect channel from a customer gets a feature-request agent.

Any other good Slack automation ideas?

Built an agent to auto-implement Linear issues in parallel

It spins up sandboxed coding agents on @daytonaio, and makes a PR for each issue and watches Github Actions and auto-fixes any problems

[Amika (YC F25) @amikadev]

Creating and running coding sandboxes should be as easy as `git clone` and `git push`.

We're designing so you can:

1. use it from your CLI
2. integrate it into tmux or an agent development environment (ADE)
3. call it as an API from you CI

[Amika (YC F25) @amikadev]

Your entire SDLC should be automatable with AI agents. But just like there's no one-stop dev workflow, there's no one-stop agent.

That's why we're building https://t.co/3fuBXhgLe6: infra for every company to build their own software factory, customized to them.
