Its investors listed on the site include Y Combinator, Gradient Ventures and Bessemer Venture Partners. It addresses the need to turn scripts into governed workflows, APIs and apps.
Scripts in 20+ languages become API endpoints and forms, and can be combined into DAG workflows with retries and approvals. The platform adds AI agents, data pipelines with DuckDB and dbt, and a low-code app builder. It can be self-hosted on Docker or Kubernetes, including on-premises, or used in Windmill cloud.
