A programming agent that runs anywhere, from local dev to CI
Exponent is a highly capable AI agent that collaborates on any software engineering task from exploration to deployment. Early users have been using Exponent to debug Docker, write SQL queries, automate incident response, and much more.
I'm Sashank, and we're excited to launch Exponent, a highly capable AI programming agent that collaborates on software engineering tasks in any environment.
After building and using many AI coding tools, we repeatedly found the same problems and limitations:
They are restricted to a single surface like an IDE, even though engineering work happens in many places
Behavior is opaque and you can't tell what they are doing and where they are going wrong
They go off the rails and are difficult to steer
We built Exponent to be the AI programming agent that we would want to use by focusing exclusively on a collaborative, agent-first experience:
It feels great to collaborate with, and is also powerful enough to complete work end-to-end, striking a balance between it being independent but asking you for help when it needs it
It runs anywhere: I can use Exponent to debug an issue in my local development environment, while another instance of Exponent can run within a Github actions pipeline which auto-fixes my type check errors, without needing any other tooling.
It has a clean, intuitive interface which shows me exactly what the agent is doing instead of obfuscating it
We first got some attention after collaborating with OpenAI on one of their API features last year, and we're ready to open to a wider audience.
You might like Exponent too if you want to improve at collaborating with AI instead of just being a passenger, if you want a consistent experience across environments, or if you use prosumer software like Raycast or Linear.
If you're not sure where to begin, pick the next task off of your to-do list, take a look at our docs here, or try a task you've been unsatisfied using other tools for.

And if you’re on an engineering team that is being practical about adopting AI tooling to move faster, you’ll probably be interested in Exponent for Teams: https://www.exponent.run/teams
