Production-Grade Agentic Coding Without the Headaches
Tired of the hype around AI coding tools that don't quite deliver in real-world, complex projects? We get it. That's why we're building Feature: a toolchain to bring production-grade, scalable agentic coding to your actual SDLC, without the usual headaches.
The Challenges Developers Face
It’s a familiar story for development teams. You're grappling with:
The relentless push to increase shipping velocity and quality, while also needing to reduce opex and satisfy stakeholders.
The critical, non-negotiable demands of compliance, security, and data sovereignty.
The time-consuming process of sifting through the "tool mess" to find genuinely useful agentic coding tools.
The genuine challenge of enabling and skilling up your staff to leverage these new tools effectively.
Our Solution: An Open, Controllable SDLC Approach
Feature cuts through this noise with a transparent, controllable approach designed for the entire Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). We offer:
An open-source agentic coding suite that covers the full SDLC, giving you full transparency and the ability to customize.
A self-hostable stack that supports multiple LLM vendors and local models, ensuring you control your environment and your data stays yours.
A curated, best-of-breed stack, as we've done the heavy lifting of sifting through the "tool mess" for you.
Practical training courses, consulting, and support to get your dev teams productive, not frustrated.
Under the Hood: Open Agentic DX & Managed Agent Ops
At its heart, Feature provides an Open Agentic Developer Experience (DX) for the full SDLC, coupled with robust Governance & Orchestration, and reliable Infra & Ops. Our Private Agentic DX Stack is designed to empower your entire team across various roles.
For instance, analysts can dive into legacy codebases and streamline onboarding.
Requirements engineers can transform diverse inputs like meeting notes or user feedback into actionable backlogs and write user stories.
Architects can leverage it to plan technical implementations.
When it comes to building, devs can implement features more efficiently, with agents handling boilerplate code.
Test engineers can generate comprehensive unit and end-to-end tests – imagine spinning up a suite of e2e playwright tests for an agent-coded webapp, significantly boosting coverage.
Technical writers can keep user and developer documentation current.
DevOps engineers can accelerate incident Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and fixes, and security engineers can use agents to help maintain a secure codebase.
All this operates on a secure agent runtime supporting parallelization and background tasks, integrating smoothly with your existing ecosystem like LLMs (local or API-based), Git, Jira, Confluence, and SonarQube. This is all under a vital governance layer for cost control and oversight.
Key Capabilities Developers Will Appreciate
Feature brings several key capabilities that developers will find immediately valuable.
Analyse & Specify Our analysis agent allows you to understand and navigate massive codebases or unfamiliar project contexts almost instantly. This is perfect for tackling legacy code – for example, automatically analyzing and documenting an old COBOL codebase – or getting new team members up to speed quickly. Our specification agent can then help create migration plans, data models, user journeys, and architectural diagrams.
Build & Test Our coding agent can handle significant feature implementation with minimal developer oversight, such as migrating a COBOL legacy system to a modern web stack or building a complete website accessibility checker with user management and 3rd party integrations. This also extends to reducing PR review friction with AI-generated summaries and explanations of changes.
Document & Refactor To ensure your projects remain maintainable and well-understood, Feature assists with documentation and refactoring. Our documentation agent helps ensure your docs never get stale and can even generate complete SaaS user documentation automatically. Meanwhile, our refactoring agent cleans up your codebase – we practice what we preach, having used it to refactor our own analysis agent.
Solving the "Agentic Ops" Nightmare
Running agentic systems effectively in production brings a unique set of "Agentic Ops" challenges, which Feature is designed to manage proactively.
We address project context by connecting to your repositories, ticketing systems, and documentation, keeping contextual information fresh and managing embeddings and relevant abstractions.
For knowledge management, Feature helps document and share custom agents and best practices, ensuring agents always have access to the latest framework and tool documentation.
Our infra and compute solutions provide a scalable and secure environment for both local and background agents, including MCP server management. Critically, we help you address security concerns like the OWASP LLM Top 10, such as prompt injection.
Furthermore, robust agent monitoring is in place to oversee performance and prevent issues like infinite iterations, coupled with comprehensive governance features like RBAC for agents, agent workload oversight, cost control analytics, and audit logs.
So, Why Feature?
So, why Feature? Let's skip the usual fluff. Many tools in this space might want your data, rely on a "hope and pray" model for AI training to scale and generalize, or lure you in with very low prices where your data becomes the actual product.
We take a different stance:
Privacy and Sovereignty are paramount; your code, your data, and your control always come first.
We engineer for reliable Quality of Service (QoS). While others might aim for a generalized AI that falters on specific, complex tasks, our agentic tools are less about doing everything and more about being exceptionally dependable and predictable for core software engineering challenges. This translates to less time debugging the AI and more time focusing on shipping your code.
If you're serious about leveraging agentic coding for real-world, production-scale development without giving up control or drowning in operational complexity, then Feature is built for you.
