{"id":101734,"title":"Lightsprint - The Collaborative Product Development Platform","tagline":"Lightsprint lets teams plan visually, preview live and ship with an army of cloud agents","body":"**tldr:** We are building a collaborative platform for software teams to plan visually, preview live and ship with an army of cloud agents. Your whole team, including non-engineers, can now ship end to end reliably.\n\n\u003chttps://youtu.be/P9e-5Mg72fc\u003e\n\n**The problem**\\\nSoftware is built by teams. But AI coding agents run alone on one developer’s IDE or terminal.\\\nThe result: teammates are out of sync, planning stays buried in docs, and reviewers approve changes with little context. Execution has never been faster. But coordination has never been more painful. \\\n\\\nThe SDLC was built around coding. Coding has changed, and the SDLC must be updated.\\\n\\\n**The solution**\\\nLightsprint makes agentic software development collaborative. It completes the entire AI loop - not just code gen, but the full cycle from requirements to shipped code, with your whole team in the game.\n\n1. **Visual Plan Mode**: Write a simple requirement. Lightsprint breaks it into a structured plan with tasks, dependencies, and visual options to choose from. Your whole team collaborates with the agent on the plan: see it, annotate it, and approve it. No more blind execution.\n2. **Infinite Parallel Cloud Agents**: Hit execute and Lightsprint spins up multiple agents working your codebase simultaneously. One’s building the frontend component, another is building a dashboard, a third is writing tests. Anyone can steer the agent. What takes a team days gets compressed into hours.\n3. **PR Preview Environments**: Every PR automatically gets a live preview URL. Not a diff. A running instance of the code. Your designer clicks through it and says “yes, ship it” or “change the layout” without reading a single line of code. Everyone on your team ships code now.\n\nWe’ve been using Lightsprint to build Lightsprint, and it has dramatically increased our engineering velocity. Lightsprint is also mobile-friendly so you can fire tasks from wherever you are. That has been a game-changer for us!\n\n\\\n**About Us**\\\nThe team is made of Ben Chan who was the previous CTO of Bitgo (NYSE: BTGO) and has led engineering teams of 300; Heng Hong, an engineering leader from Meta who built FB messenger; and Ben Ong, an ex VC who was part of the venture building arm at Temasek (300B AUM fund) and led products at SEA group (NYSE: SE). \n\n\\\n**Ask**\\\nIf you're shipping with AI agents and want to improve coordination, accelerate feature development, or let non-technical teammates help build — we'd love to chat.
