RB Compound · building software with AI agents

documents first. then the agents write the code.

I’m Nicolas Zozol, twenty years in software. RB Compound is how I build software with AI agents: each feature gets a story and a design, you approve the design, and only then do the agents write the code, tests first. I work with teams and technical leads who build software with agents.
