I'm Vlad and I'm the founder of Cobalt. It's a platform that allows you to hand off a complete coding task without setting up another development environment or keeping your laptop running. I've had enough of juggling git worktrees on my local machine and thought - it should be trivial for the coding agent to set its own environment, all I need to do is give it the tools.
Cobalt is an AI developer that works on your GitHub repository from its own cloud computer. Describe a task, watch your app change live, and come back to working software - no local setup required.
Developers have all the toys - Cursor, Codex, ClaudeCode. These tools have made us more productive, writing code and iterating over product decisions has never been faster. This however has not translated in the same way to the rest of the team - the product managers, the business analysts, the support engineers, or quality analysts, that have to deal with inferior tools, outdated practices or complicated processes. We are launching Dawn today - it's a knowledge agent that aims to change that. It talks to your team in Slack, Teams, Telegram, Discord for a start and integrates with GitHub, Azure DevOps, Jira, Trello, Linear and others. It can autonomously research and answer questions, setup recurring jobs, remember key points, create documents, diagrams and images.
I'm curious though, do you also have this problem? Do you feel like the rest of the team is not as productive as they can be, simply because they do not have access to the best AI tools and have to get by with CoPilot and ChatGPT? What tools do you use to make your live easier?
