What agentic product development actually is (and how it beats a dev shop)
A dev shop hands you a codebase and an invoice. An agentic studio builds your product the way you'll eventually run it — agent fleets in production, your standards, your repo, no lock-in. Here's the difference.
Short version: a normal dev shop hands you a codebase and an invoice, and walks away. Agentic product development is different in one specific way: a studio builds your product using the same fleets of AI agents it would eventually hand your team, in production, against your standards. You get the shipped product, you own the code and the repo, and you keep a working demonstration of how the agents were operated. You're not buying cheaper development. You're buying a product built the way you'll run it.
What "agentic" actually changes about building#
Most software is still built by humans typing every line, with AI as autocomplete on the side. Agentic development moves the developer up a level: they scope work, set guardrails, and review, while fleets of agents do the building, testing, and coordinating. We run our own products this way. The open suite we ship for ourselves (WRAI.TH for orchestration, trovex for context, yoru for observability) is the proof that it's how we work, not a pitch.
