Developer Tools

Context.dev, worked by an AI employee

Not another app for your team to learn, and not a set of rules for you to build. You hire an AI employee, you give it access to your Context.dev account, and you ask it for things in Slack or Teams the way you would ask anyone else on the team. There is nothing to map and nothing to maintain.

What Context.dev is

Context.dev provides web scraping, extraction, brand intelligence, monitoring, and structured web data APIs for AI applications.

You paste in a key from your own Context.dev account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside Context.dev whenever you like.

How a run works

One message in, the work done in Context.dev.

  1. 01

    You ask

    You message your AI employee in the chat your team already has open, in one sentence, in your own words.

  2. 02

    It works out the step

    It decides what the job needs in Context.dev. You do not pick anything from a menu or wire anything together.

  3. 03

    It does the work

    Signed in to your own Context.dev account, inside the access you granted it, doing the thing you asked for.

  4. 04

    It reports back

    It tells you what it did, in the same thread. If it could not do something, it says so rather than guessing.

Access, and who is in charge of it

Nothing connects until you approve it. You grant access one app at a time, you can take it back the same way, and everything your AI employee does in there is written down where you can see it.

  • You grant access one app at a time, and you can take it back the same way.
  • Everything it does in Context.dev is written down, with what it did and when.
  • Anything you tell it to check with you first, it checks with you first.
Other apps in the same corner of the business

It works in Context.dev and the rest of your software in the same job

A real job rarely stays in one place. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in another and writing the result in a third is one request to your AI employee, not three.
