Manifesto

Software development should not require constant presence.

Chat IDEs were transitional

They proved AI could write code, but they still demanded your attention in a single thread, one prompt at a time.

Prompt babysitting is not freedom

Watching context degrade, reopening chats, and pasting the same vision again is not development. It is maintenance.

Async creation is the next shift

The best work happens away from the keyboard. Your tools should keep executing while you live.

Intent becomes orchestration

AutonomLayer decomposes intent into structured missions, paces models safely, and drives your IDE step by step.

Software continues while humans live

That is the category we are building: asynchronous software development orchestration.
