Founded Auto. 15yrs of specs before AI.

About

I've been coaching teams on BDD, TDD, and software architecture for 15 years. Coined "spec-driven development" in 2016 when nobody cared. Bought specdriven.com in 2020 because I could see where things were heading. Now AI writes code faster than anyone can review it, and the problem I've been going on about for a decade is suddenly everyone's problem: if you don't capture your design intent, you lose control of your system. Auto is what I'm building to fix that. Model your software as narratives, connect your coding agent, build from structured specs instead of scattered prompts. The code was never the hard part. The thinking was.
