Dear aspiring developer,
You have the mental chops to do development: you create Excel sheets, write SQL, etc. So it is disappointing to watch developers ship real software with AI while your best is a pretty web app. AI can mimic their years of training, but that still isn’t enough: developers also have tools to build software, a machine to build it on, and prebuilt code to build from. dk gives you all three. It’s time to build real software.

Tell me what you want to build. You will get a mini-plan that you copy into your AI agent.
Your mini-plan
Copy this into your AI agent.
How it works
- Onboard with a GitHub account
- Your AI agent writes dk scripts
- A remote GitHub Actions machine builds it
- Ship real software
Compared to traditional development
| You | Traditional software developer | |
|---|---|---|
| Onboarding | IT gives you GitHub Enterprise account, or you use Student/Free account | IT gives them corporate machine + GitHub Enterprise account |
| Code Creator | AI agent | Themselves and/or AI agent |
| Hardware | GitHub Actions | Beefy, always-on development machine |
| Operating System | Windows + maybe macOS | Linux + Windows + maybe macOS |
| Security Sandboxing | GitHub Actions | Docker and/or Virtual Machines |
| Coding Style | High Throughput: many agents at once. Code must be self-instrumenting (ie. logs, metrics, detailed errors) to cut debug cycles | Low Latency: they code one or two things simultaneously with fast, local feedback |
