Sherpa today

The Company Factory.

Engineering, go-to-market, and finance in one workspace.

For each function, the control plane shows what’s happening and what needs a decision. Agents help do the work, from building software to preparing customer follow-ups and explaining the numbers.

You should be able to see where the work stands.

Plans, work, and decisions often end up in different tools and conversations. Sherpa brings those records together so you can pick up where you left off.

What is built

What Sherpa
does today.

We’ve built three modules around engineering, go-to-market, and finance. Each has its own workflows and agents, and you can review the work in one place.

01 / ENGINEERING

Manage software work
from plan to release.

Plan the work, build it with a coding assistant, and check what is ready to release.

  • Projects, work items, blockers, and decisions
  • Checks and release records for Dev and Production
  • Skills for planning, building, and investigating issues
Inside Engineering
02 / GO-TO-MARKET

Keep track of people
and follow up.

Keep the history of a relationship, prepare the next conversation, and follow through on what you’ve promised.

  • People, past conversations, and contact permissions
  • Messages you review before creating a Gmail draft
  • Commitments, who owns them, and what happened
Inside Go-to-market
03 / FINANCE

Understand the numbers
and what’s missing.

Review costs and revenue, check the underlying records, and work through the questions before closing a period.

  • Costs and revenue with their source records
  • Expense categories, reconciliation, and period close
  • Accountant exports and cash scenarios

Inside the product

How the control plane
and agents work together.

The control plane is where you review the work. Agents prepare or carry out tasks within each function, with decisions and approvals recorded as you go.

See what’s been built, what has been checked, and what needs your decision.

Control plane

Review projects, work items, blockers, decisions, and release checks. See whether the connected sources are up to date.Open the records behind a status to see how it was reached.

Agent

Use Sherpa’s skills in your coding assistant to plan and build software, investigate issues, run checks, and record what was learned.The assistant works from the agreed plan and follows the steps for review and release.

Your decision

Agree the scope, resolve choices that affect the work, and approve releases at the appropriate stage.

The Engineering agent works in your coding assistant. The control plane shows the resulting work, checks, and decisions.

What you getWork and checks recorded together

Illustrative example of the records in this module.

Example usePick up a piece of work and see the plan, changes, checks, and open decisions in one place.

Use the history of a relationship to decide who to contact and what to say.

Control plane

See people, past conversations, permission to contact them, recent public activity, and promises made.Review these details before preparing a message.

Agent

Suggest who may need attention and prepare a message or proposed commitment using the records you select.The suggestion shows which records it used and where it is uncertain.

Your decision

Edit and approve the message, then choose to create the Gmail draft. Record what happened when a commitment is completed.

Sherpa creates the Gmail draft after your review. You send it from your mailbox.

GTM agent preparation

Review the suggested message alongside the past conversation and the reason for following up.

What you getA reviewed Gmail draft

Illustrative example of the records in this module.

Example useFollow up after a customer conversation using the history you already have, and keep track of what you promised to do next.

Check the numbers, understand any gaps, and decide whether a period is ready to close.

Control plane

Review costs, revenue, missing source data, expense categories, reconciliation, reports, and cash scenarios.Open the source records to check the numbers.

Agent

Explain differences, suggest categories, and summarize reports or cash scenarios using the records you select.Cash scenarios use your stated assumptions for the calculations. The agent explains the results.

Your decision

Set the financial policies, apply the categories you’ve reviewed, resolve differences against the records, and close or reopen a period.

The Finance module supports review and reporting. It does not make payments, file taxes, or set up provider accounts.

Finance / ReconciliationILLUSTRATIVE RECORD

Finance agent explanation

The explanation points to the billing records that need review. Check these and resolve the missing information before closing the period.

After review and closeSaved report and accountant export

Illustrative example of the records in this module.

Example useReview the month’s records, resolve differences, and save an accountant export for the closed period. Use cash scenarios to see how changing your assumptions affects the outlook.

Plugins give the assistant its instructions.

Sherpa’s plugins contain the skills and instructions for each function. The Engineering agent uses these in your coding assistant to plan, build, and check the work.

GTM and Finance also have hosted agents.

These agents use the records you select to prepare suggestions and explanations. They need an Agent Host and the relevant data connections set up before use.

The modules share access and history.

The modules use the same sign-in, access controls, data connections, and activity history. You can review a proposed action before choosing whether to carry it out.

Where we are

What is built,
and what comes next.

The three modules are built and tested locally. We still need to verify the connections and agents with real accounts and see how each module holds up in everyday use.

Built

Work within each function

The modules cover software delivery, relationship history and follow-ups, and financial review and reporting. Each can be used on its own once the relevant setup is complete.

Next to validate

Use with real accounts

The next step is to connect real accounts, verify that the agents work with them, and make each module reliable in day-to-day use.

Planned

Decisions across functions

Once the individual modules work well, we’ll connect them around company priorities, customer outcomes, and decisions about time and money.

The larger vision

Why we’re building
a Company Factory.

Our view is that every company will build software and use AI agents, regardless of industry. Engineering, go-to-market, and finance are at the heart of that work.

We want Sherpa to connect these functions so founders and CEOs can see what is working, decide where to focus, and put time and money behind those decisions.

Tell us what you think

A question we want Sherpa to answer

Is this still the right priority?
01What was delivered, and what is still blocked?02What are customers telling us?03What is it costing us, and what have we committed?

Where would this help
in your company?

I’d like to hear from founders and CEOs about the problems this could solve for them. What would you use? What have we missed? That feedback will help us decide what to build next.
