Foundry

Foundry is a build system that understands organisational context. It pairs with engineering teams as a reasoning collaborator rather than a code-completion surface — proposing structure, surfacing precedent, and quietly carrying the parts of the work that compound.

01What it is

A development environment that understands not just the code but the organisation around it — its decisions, its conventions, its history. Foundry pairs with engineers when they begin work, when they make architectural choices, and when they review the work of others.

It is not a code-completion product. It is a thinking partner with access to the organisation's memory.

02How it differs

Foundry is opinionated about scope. It declines to act where evidence is thin, escalates where consequences are large, and gets out of the way where the engineer is fluent. The shape of its restraint is the product.

It is built on the same observation infrastructure as Codex, which it treats as authoritative.

03Where it runs

In limited preview with a small number of partner organisations. Production release is scheduled for late 2026.
