Our story

Built by engineers, for engineers.

We got tired of AI tools that stop at the file. cmodl is what we wished existed — an AI that works at the level of the entire software lifecycle.

Mission

AI that works with you, not around you.

Transparency first

Every decision, every command, every deployment is visible and auditable. No black boxes, no surprises.

Human control

AI accelerates. Humans decide. The approval gate is not a feature — it is the product.

Built on real engineering

190+ architecture decision records before we shipped a line of product code. Every design choice documented.
