New project from GitHub Next!

Chopin is a real-time, multiplayer, agentic planning environment designed to align your team.

Our current planning tools feel static, lonely, and drown us in walls of text. How can we make planning feel interactive, shared, and visual?

✨ New post! "Knowledge compressor"

We're all writing more specs. Pretty soon they add up to real tokens! How can we get rigorous about compacting that context in a way that doesn't impact model understanding?

I am wondering if in the future it will be:

- my agent and your agent sharing a task (agents end up being everyone's very personalized avatar in the creative space)
- we are communicating within earshot of multiple agents who do work (they are not intrinsically linked to either of us)

Got to talk at @aidotengineer.bsky.social conf last week about the need for collaborative AI engineering.

All our current coding agents are single player. We're trying to scale up individual productivity, but creating tons of alignment problems in the process.

We have no good tools for...

Putting together the final touches on slides for my talk at AI Engineer conf this Thursday @aidotengineer.bsky.social

Talking about how we need realtime, multiplayer, collaborative agentic dev tools. Not isolated, single player terminal instances.

And showing one we've built at @githubnext.com!

Lettermatic ✕ GitHub Next: the inside story of Monaspace, a truly groundbreaking advancement for how we display code. We knew that Lettermatic would go deep, but we were still amazed by their level of knowledge and craft.

My latest blog post is out!

🌈 Repo Assist: A Repository Assistant

Repo Assist is an experimental automated assistant for software maintainers. For some repos, not all.

It is a GitHub Agentic Workflow and uses Copilot, Claude or Gemini in automated, proactive mode.

We're super jazzed to be launching GitHub Agentic Workflows into technical preview today!

"Generative AI" kind of fooled us into thinking that AI is synchronous, but async AI can have so much more value for us as developers. 🧵

1/ 🚀 New from Next: Agentic Workflows, a research demonstrator exploring natural-language programming for GitHub Actions.

It’s one concrete manifestation of what we’re calling “Continuous AI,” focusing on repo-level automation you can describe in plain English.

For the last 10 years I’ve been wanting a chance to design the future—not tomorrow, or the next thing, but 3 things after that. The 5 year horizon.

To explore design fiction, maybe even a bit of science fiction?

Tomorrow, I get to give it a shot with my first day @githubnext.com !

During our @githubnext.com offsite last week, I built a Figma plugin that allows you to create state machines and integrate them directly into your designs.

Coming soon to the Figma Community! (in review now)
