Scaling DevTools

In this episode, Siddhartha Borah, cofounder and CTO of Brackett AI, joins us at Heavybit DevGuild. Siddhartha explains how Brackett is building agents that can learn complex business work — especially in areas like supply chain and operations, where the real context often lives in people’s heads rather than documentation. We talk about teaching agents by doing the work, turning messy human knowledge into reliable workflows, agent-in-the-loop systems, memory, knowledge graphs, and why the last mile of enterprise automation is so hard.

In this episode, James Arthur, cofounder and CEO of ElectricSQL, joins us at Heavybit DevGuild. James explains why Electric has evolved from Postgres sync into data infrastructure for collaborative multi-agent systems. We talk about Durable Streams, Electric Agents, why agents should be modeled as long-lived data rather than compute, and why the future of agent infrastructure may look more like sync than sandboxes.

In this episode, Dave Fletcher, cofounder of LeadDev, joins us at LDX3 London.
Dave shares what LeadDev is seeing from thousands of engineering leaders, including what tools they are buying, how AI coding tools are changing downstream needs, and why observability, CI/CD, testing, reliability, and security are rising up the priority list.
We also talk about how DevTools companies should message AI without triggering engineers’ bullshit detectors, why specificity beats hype, and why in-person events are becoming more important as digital channels get crowded.

In this episode, Dennis Pilarinos, founder and CEO of Unblocked, joins us at LeadDev in London.
Dennis explains why AI coding agents are only as good as the context they can access, and why every new agent is like a developer on their first day at a company.
We talk about organizational context, token savings, MCP, stale documentation, knowledge graphs, permissions, identity across systems, and why the next big infrastructure layer for AI development may be the context layer.

In this episode, Ian Coe, Co-founder and CEO of Tonic.ai, joins us at Heavybit DevGuild.
Ian explains how Tonic started by helping developers create safe, realistic data for testing and development, and how that has expanded into AI model training, de-identification, and synthetic datasets for reinforcement learning.
We discuss structured vs. unstructured data, healthcare and financial services use cases, Tonic Fabricate, Tonic Textual, fine-tuning, RL environments, and why enterprises are becoming more interested in training models on their own data.
