what is wordware?

we're building the all-in-one platform for AI development.

here's what that actually means:

the core idea: if the assembly language for new reasoning units (LLMs) is English, let's put it front and centre and incorporate the best concepts from software engineering:

• conditional statements

• loops

• function calling functions (aka in fancy language multi-agent communication) — this is more difficult than it seems because of the needed type system (see below)

• type system (especially important for interacting with multimodal LLMs where one output might have to be transformed to be passed on forward to the next step of the flow which might incorporate an LLM which can only interact with specific modalities)

• easy linking with Tools (custom or prebuilt and ready to use: speech-to-text, image generation, ElevenLabs, research and many more

the ide: where the magic happens like notion met vscode and had a baby. build and test AI flows instantly, see results in real-time, iterate fast.

deployment: choose your flavor

• api mode:

  • plug your AI engine straight into your product

  • forget about prompt management hell

  • focus on features, not infrastructure

• workflow mode:

  • automate your work with triggers and actions

  • start small, scale to entire business processes

  • connect everything - it's an operating system for AI

• wordapps & repository:

  • deploy as public/private web apps

  • share your flows github-style

  • let others fork and build on your work

  • control what people see (from basic UI to full process)

p.s. pls don't use zero prompt ai, we get enough of these to know immediately 😂

branding/graphic designer @ wordware

tl;dr we need someone who can create a visual identity as revolutionary as our product. you'll build a brand that makes AI development feel accessible and exciting to 500 million future builders. think perplexity-level brand identity meets notion-like simplicity, but for the next generation of programming.

the challenge: we're creating a new programming paradigm based on natural language, but making it feel both professional and approachable is hard. our brand needs to bridge traditional software engineering with an entirely new audience - domain experts who've never written code before.

the bigger picture: wordware isn't just another dev tool. we're building the operating system for AI that will power everything from personal workflows to enterprise products. our brand needs to convey this ambition while remaining grounded and accessible.

what you'll actually be doing:

• creating a cohesive brand identity that stands out in the AI space

• creating guidelines that unify our product, website, and marketing

• designing visuals that explain complex concepts simply

• working directly with founders on vision

• supporting product designers on visual consistency

• iterating rapidly based on real user feedback

you should probably:

• have experience at brand-forward tech companies like Perplexity

• understand how to visualize complex technical concepts

• know how to balance aesthetics with clarity

• be comfortable designing for both developers and non-technical users

• have a portfolio showing systematic thinking, not just pretty pictures

• thrive in high-velocity environments

• be able to both execute and direct when needed

signs this is not for you:

• you need months to develop a brand

• you view brand as separate from product

• you can't explain the rationale behind your designs

• you prefer working with perfectly defined briefs

• you're looking for work-life balance right now

real talk:

• sf only - we're not hybrid

• you'll be shipping day one

• sometimes you'll make design decisions without perfect information

• your work will directly shape how hundreds of thousands of people perceive AI development

if you've ever:

• wanted to define the visual language of a new computing paradigm

• built a brand that helped a technical product reach mainstream adoption

• dreamed of creating visuals that make complex concepts click

...we should talk.

ps: we're backed by spark capital, felicis, and y combinator ($30m seed — biggest out of YC round) but we still work like a seed startup. and yes, the office will have a sauna and be 30m from the sea 🥵
