- If you're a founder struggling to get legal work done, these guys are what you need ! Low fees, super high responsiveness and great service. Congrats Lina Law (HX26) on the launch 🚀
- On October 2 we (Antasphere) are running a hackathon with Malt at WAT.BXL 👩💻 For the first time, software can be used by something other than a person. Romain and I spend our days on that line, using agents for real work and turning whatever holds into tools. Nobody knows yet where it settles. A hackathon is that question compressed into one day: what does an agent need in its hands to actually be useful? So that is the brief. One day, one tool for an agent that uses a computer, yours to keep. We wanted people to start at their
- Codika is now Antasphere 🌍 A year and a half ago I was a machine learning engineer in pharma, building models in a research team, and I knew I wanted to start something of my own. Romain Pattyn had built a CLI that let developers ship mobile apps in a fraction of the time. The idea was simple: I would build the AI layer on top so that agents could use it too. Two builders, one tool, let's go. It did not go like that. We changed direction more than once, sometimes for good reasons, sometimes because we were early and got it wrong.
- On recrute un deuxième Forward Deployed Engineer. Cette fois, on sait exactement ce qu'on cherche. 🤝 Le job, concrètement : tu prends un projet client signé et tu l'emmènes jusqu'en production. La moitié du temps avec le client, à comprendre son process et à cadrer ce qu'il faut vraiment construire, l'autre moitié à le construire sur notre plateforme, où les agents génèrent l'essentiel du code et où ta valeur c'est le jugement. Tu es responsable du résultat de bout en bout. Au premier tour, on pensait qu'un profil mi-technique
- Codika recrute 🥳 🚀 Avec Romain Pattyn, on cherche notre premier Forward Deployed Engineer. Quelqu'un qui prend un projet client signé et qui le mène de bout en bout : la moitié du temps avec le client pour comprendre le vrai besoin, l'autre moitié à construire avec notre outillage interne qui génère l'essentiel du code. Ce qu'on attend, c'est pas de la vitesse de frappe, c'est du jugement : cadrer une solution, vérifier que ce qui sort tient la route, et assumer le résultat. Le profil est technique, à l'aise en face d'un client,
- In the last two months, most of the serious conversations in our pipeline have been some version of the same request: replace our ERP with something built for how we actually work. That request used to be the definition of a money pit. Today I think it is the most rational ask in enterprise software, and here is why. Standardized ERP was never really a product decision. It was a financing decision. Writing and maintaining code was so expensive that the only viable model was to write one core once and amortize it across thousands of
- Most of my day happens in an app where I'm not the only user. The other users are the agents. Clave is our desktop app for running coding agents in parallel: Claude Code, Codex and Antigravity sessions side by side, in tabs and groups. But the feature that changed how I work isn't the layout. It's that the agent running inside a tab gets tools to operate the app around it. An agent that finishes writing a plan opens it as a tab next to itself so I can read it. An agent that needs an API key requests it through the app, and I paste
- We haven't sent a client a .pptx or a .docx in months. Every proposal, plan, quote and deck now goes out as a single HTML page behind a URL. The only exception left is anything that needs a signature. The reason isn't aesthetics. A PDF quote is a dead artifact: the client reads a number and either accepts it or doesn't. An HTML quote lets them move the scope themselves and watch the price recompute, so the conversation stops being about the number and starts being about the trade-off. A 14 page plan becomes tabs, and the reader
