In case you missed the news earlier, we're excited to announce we've raised $125m to build AI Native Software Development. We're on a big journey, and have a fantastic team to make AI Native Development a reality! For more information about what we're building, take a look at our blog post announcement from our founder, Guy Podjarny https://lnkd.in/eci4ABFS

Excited to share Tessl raised $125M, to build out AI Native Software Development! This includes a $25M Seed from April, led by boldstart ventures & GV (Google Ventures), and a $100M Series A, led by Index Ventures with Accel, GV and boldstart participating. Full blog on raise and mission here: https://tessl.co/3Z2BUJM I’m humbled by the vote of confidence in our team and mission from these amazing investors. We’re well aware that reimagining software development is quite an undertaking, and that the journey to it will be challenging - making it all the more important to have the right partners for the journey. I see this round as recognition of the incredible team we've assembled to take this on. Their work isn’t visible yet, but I’m regularly amazed by the depth and speed of thinking and execution in our founding team. Not only are they a group of brilliant people, they're also fun, caring and driven. I’m truly grateful they’ve chosen to join this journey. At the end of the day, funding is a means, not an end. These funds give us a strong and long term foundation to build with, and we’ll invest them in helping the AI Native Dev movement succeed through both product and community growth. A huge thanks to all the early users giving us feedback, and to the forming joiners of our AI Native Dev community (check out their work on the 𝐀𝐈 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐂𝐨𝐧 on Nov 21st: https://tessl.co/3AGjkOa ) With that, we get back to building!

There are still many unanswered questions about how to use AI for software engineering and DevOps. Today, we're excited to announce our partnership with AI Native Dev Con to demystify some of these questions! It is hosted by Ashish Rajan 🤴🏾🧔🏾♂️, and the speakers include: - Malte Ubl, CTO at Vercel - Eric Simons, CEO at StackBlitz - Jason Hand 🖐️, Senior Dev Advocate at Datadog - Tanya Janca, Head of Education and Community at Semgrep  - Simon Maple, Founding DevRel at Tessl RSVP here: http://tessl.co/3U6mVeZ

Patrick Debois joined me on the AI Native Dev this time, and we didn't talk about DevOps! SHOCK, HORROR! We talked about some of the innovative ways in which he uses coding assistants including: * building a with a custom-built tool that watched him on camera and execute commands based on hand gestures! * combining AI tools like Copilot, Cursor, and Anthropic's Claude to automate code review and generation via APIs. * using voice commands for coding! How would hands-free coding change your work? Always enjoy spending time with Patrick and glad we got to record this episode together! Would love to hear if you'd prefer hands on keyboard, or voice, or even gestures to code - is the Minority Report UI coming to life? :) Links to the full episode in comments! #AINative #Cursor #Aider #AI #ChatGPT #Copilot #PatrickDebois
