About

We're building the ecosystem where AI agents actually run.

Chat. Build. Deploy. We give every developer the opinion, the infrastructure, and the speed to ship real AI agents and apps — with no repetitive setup, no vendor lock-in, and no manual ops.

Mission

Chat. Build. Deploy. The complete ecosystem of Chat (TheoCode), Build (TheoCreate, TheoKit), and Deploy (TheoCloud) — with no repetitive setup, no vendor lock-in, and no manual ops.

Vision

Be to AI agents what Vercel became to the web: the default, obvious, developer-respected path — with an open runtime end to end.

Five principles, non-negotiable.

  1. 01

    Extreme honesty

    No fabricated numbers, no invented features. Every claim is auditable. Empty is honest; fake is death.

  2. 02

    Developer freedom

    The code is yours. The keys are yours. The infrastructure is yours if you want it. Walk-away cost: zero.

  3. 03

    DX is the first concern

    The journey from `curl install` to `theo deploy` is the product. Minutes from clone to live URL is our top KPI after revenue.

  4. 04

    Disciplined engineering over apparent speed

    Test before fix. Honesty before hype. We don't reinvent the wheel. We don't fake certainty.

  5. 05

    Open on the surface, commercial where it makes sense

    Apache-2.0 where it strengthens the ecosystem. Proprietary where it sustains the business. No coercion.

Why we exist

Building an AI agent today means tying together five tools that weren't designed for each other: a coding assistant, an agent framework, a generic cloud platform, manual scaffolding, and provider integrations. The developer feels friction at every step. Theo is the vertical ecosystem in three verbs: **Chat** with TheoCode (open-source AI chat for code), **Build** with TheoCreate (scaffolder) or TheoKit (Next.js framework), **Deploy** on TheoCloud (managed runtime). Three verbs, one ecosystem, one workflow.

DNA — declared inspirations

Three companies we respect. Theo is a deliberate mix — not a copy.

  • Vercel

    Open infrastructure + `git push` → live. Build + deploy as one thing.

  • Mastra

    Opinionated TypeScript framework + AI-shaped. Framework with conviction, not neutral toolkit.

  • Lovable

    Idea to app, in seconds. The input is intent, not code.
