Wordware: AI agents you can rely on

AI agents you can rely on

AI Agents have arrived. They are powerful enough to read, plan, and act across your everyday life and work. The question is no longer whether they can run canned demos to check the weather, it’s whether real teams can rely on them for critical work. We optimize for adoption over spectacle: useful, accountable systems that help top professional complete real tasks. Wordware is backed by Spark Capital, Felicis, and Y Combinator, with a $30M seed round. Our beautiful, historic San Francisco office sits in the shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge, it’s full of plants and radiates innovation and calm. We genuinely love working together. At lunch we talk about alignment and AI consciousness, we have surfboards in the office ready to use, we take walking meetings on the beach and hang out after work at the bar or climbing wall. We work really hard because we care deeply about what we do. Sauna is Wordware’s AI workspace for professionals. Think ‘Cursor for Knowledge Work’ and you’re halfway there. With explicit permission, it connects to tools like Gmail, Calendar, Slack, and thousands more, to gather the right context to move your work forward. It learns who you are, drafts and refines your documents, presentations, and datasets, researches across the web and your org’s internal knowledge, summarizes long threads to cut through the noise, proposes next steps, even acts on your behalf when enabled. You can work with Sauna live, side-by-side, or schedule jobs to run automatically in the background, with clear permissions and easy off-switches. Sauna brings the power of AI Agents to all professionals.

Active Founders

Filip Kozera

Founder

Cofounder and CEO at Wordware -- an IDE for Natural Language Programming and Agent Orchestration. Previously I cofounded and exited KRISTALIC, which tried to augment the human memory. Before that, I studied Deep Learning at Cambridge. The most interesting fact about me outside of work is that I travelled to 103 countries and was part of multiple high-altitude mountaineering expeditions and rescue operations in Kyrgyzstan and Nepal. I also do sailing, paragliding, kitesurfing and boxing.

Wordware — Build your AI stack 20x faster

See original launch post

Wordware is an IDE that enables anyone to build complex AI Agents and applications. Domain experts and engineers can now iterate 20x faster with prebuilt tools, API deployment, tracing, and more.

Currently, prompting is mostly done by engineers inside the code base. This is just a coincidence, and it yields poor quality and a long iteration cycle due to communication overhead with domain experts.

Wordware is the go-to tool for these cross-functional teams. Our clients range from AI tinkerers developing their ideas to large companies using Wordware as their whole LLM backend.

It’s a tool (an IDE) that enables you to quickly build custom AI agents for specific use cases, like legal contract generation, marketing content automation, invoice analysis, candidate screening, generating PRDs, and many more. We call applications built on Wordware ‘WordApps’ because you can create them using natural language—in other words, using words (pun intended).

Our core belief is that the domain expert—not the engineer—knows what good LLM output looks like. For example, lawyers building legal SaaS need to be deeply involved in the process, and working directly in the codebase or going back and forth with engineers isn’t the way to go. Most of our clients are cross-functional teams, including less technical members, who need to collaborate with engineers on LLM applications, such as assessing prompt outputs, and care about the speed of iterations.

We are in production with 7 YC Companies and looking to give other early-stage companies with their AI Stack on fire unreasonable amounts of attention. Start for free or book a demo at www.wordware.ai.

I met Robert (my CTO) at the University of Cambridge. We have both worked with LLMs since BERT and created well-performing stacks before AI Ops was a term. We both have exits in the field.
