The Tessl Agent: Build Your Software Factory on Autopilot

What if the whole point of your AI agent was to eventually make itself redundant? Dru Knox, Head of Product at Tessl, introduces the Tessl agent — a new interface built not just for AI-assisted coding, but for building the software factory that keeps improving without constant human input.

This is a conversation about loop engineering: how to set up automated feedback cycles so your agents get smarter, your code review gets tighter, and your team ships more without adding more toil.

What we cover:
– What the Tessl agent is and how it fits into the broader Tessl platform
– Loop engineering: why building automated feedback loops is the right place to start
– How the agent sets up and continuously improves agentic code review
– Why optimising your AI agent costs is usually the wrong lever to pull
– The case for open, modular software factories — and the risk of vendor lock-in
– UX expectations in the AI era: why outcome-oriented interfaces are now the baseline
