AI-Native Builders Manifesto

Why Over How

• As AI continues to mature in building software it enables people to focus on higher order thinking about what value we are creating and for whom
• Access to AI development democratizes software development, giving equal creativity to all

Iteration over Planning

• AI-driven velocity and quality gains render traditional planning cycles obsolete
• Stakeholders come together, work in groups with AI, make decisions, build and iterate at the speed of thought
• AI replaces lengthy planning, estimation and grooming sessions with continuous build, release, iterate cycles

Innovation over Stagnation

• Embracing constant change unlocks new opportunities at lightning speed
• AI accelerated feedback loops create compounding momentum that dismantles organizational inertia and enables continuous innovation as the new baseline

Transparency over Opacity

Leads to Empowerment over Information Asymmetry

• People and AI both run on data. Information drives action.
