{"id":95166,"title":"Scott AI  - Agentic Workspace for Software Spec Design","tagline":"Get to your best spec faster. Align with your team faster. Let coding agents take on larger tasks.","body":"Hi everyone 👋\\\n\\\nWe are[ David](https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidemaulick/) and[ Devin](https://www.linkedin.com/in/devin-cintron/) – co founders of[ Scott AI](https://www.tryscott.ai/download).\n\nTL;DR\n\n**Scott runs several coding agents side by side to expose their disagreements and help you get to the best spec faster.** With Scott, your coding agents can take on larger tasks while respecting your requirements.\n\n**Ask:** Try[ Scott AI](https://www.tryscott.ai) for at \u003chttps://www.tryscott.ai/apply\u003e.  To use Scott with your team, book a demo with us [here](https://calendly.com/david-tryscott/david-scott-ai-30-min-meeting).\n\n\u003chttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c08GE8cMX-E\u003e\n\n**❌ The Problem**\n\nCoding agents are fast and generate lots of code. But they often do things we don’t want them to. To name a few:\n\n* Over-architecting and using the wrong abstractions\n* Using obscure libraries for the job\n* Early optimizations for future problems that will never exist\n\nThat said, it’s not really their fault! Builders need a tool that better aligns coding agents with our intent.\n\n\\\n**The Solution**\n\nA tool that highlights the most important and relevant design decisions early, makes it easy to compare tradeoffs, and helps you pick the spec that most accurately matches your intent.\n\n[**👷**](https://emojipedia.org/construction-worker) **What we are building**\\\n\\\nScott AI is the agentic workspace for software spec design. Scott lets teams orchestrate “swarms of experts” to debate architecture designs, making it easy for developers to discover and align on the best plan before handing it off to execution-oriented agents like Claude, Codex, or Cursor.\n\nWith Scott, teams grant multi-agent swarms of any model (Claude w/ Sonnet 4.1, Codex w/ GPT-5, etc.) secure, one-click access to their full codebase. Agents explore multiple design paths in parallel while Scott orchestrates a debate between them.\n\nScott then surfaces key divergences and lets builders choose the best options directly in the interface. Once aligned, your final design plan is shareable with your team, and fully portable to whatever tools you use to build.\n\n**🙏 Our Ask**\n\nIf you answer “yes” to any of the following, we would love your help:\n\n* **For Developers.** Rethinking the way software should be done in the era of coding agents?[ ](https://www.tryscott.ai/download)[Try Scott](https://www.tryscott.ai/apply) and let us know what you think.\n* **For Teams**. Does your team care deeply about incorporating coding agents into your system design review process? We've built an experience we are actively piloting with forward-thinking teams.

Over the past 4 years, David has been focused on building and evangelizing eng platforms to help Coinbase product engineers move faster + scale Coinbase to the next billion users. When he left, the teams that he helped build/lead powered 95% of UI at Coinbase, 65% of Coinbase edge traffic and were used by more than 700 engineers daily. \n\nDevin (CTO \u0026 Co-Founder) is ex founding eng \u0026 head of mobile at Comun (Redpoint, Costanoa), KP Eng fellow, and consulting at Bain. At Comun, Devin was known for often landing projects slotted for multiple weeks in a single weekend. Stanford BS in CS, focus on AI.\\\n\\\nCheck out our Hackerhaus:\n\n![uploaded image](/media/?type=post\u0026id=95166\u0026key=user_uploads/1254494/9b9a736a-438a-441f-aa19-e7acb93856cd)\n\n","slug":"Okw-scott-ai-agentic-workspace-for-software-spec-design","created_at":"2025-11-04T20:43:23.590Z","updated_at":"2026-04-24T03:03:57.523Z","total_vote_count":122,"url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/launches/Okw-scott-ai-agentic-workspace-for-software-spec-design","share_image_url":"https://www.ycombinator.com/media/?type=post\u0026id=95166\u0026key=user_uploads/1254494/9b9a736a-438a-441f-aa19-e7acb93856cd","company":{"id":30942,"name":"Scott AI","slug":"scott-ai","url":"https://tryscott.ai","logo":"https://bookface-images.s3.amazonaws.com/small_logos/e147d1eb5a08ce6e087e44a2f10d637816c7c5db.png","batch":"Fall 2025","industry":"B2B","tags":[],"search_path":"https://bookface.ycombinator.com/company/30942"}}
