A New Software Stack for the Agentic Age

We stand at the dawn of the Agentic Age, where AI agents will be everywhere - from autonomous driving to personalized cooking assistants. Much like humans need hands and feet to interact with the physical world, AI agents need a software environment to build and run their own solutions.

An agent by itself is useless without giving it ways to interact with the world.

But today’s software stacks are a patchwork of 50 years’ worth of paradigms. They weren’t designed with humans + AI in mind, leading to errors, overcomplication, and wasted effort.

The Problem: Software Stacks Are Stuck in the Past

At TENUM®, we believe it’s time for a new paradigm - one that simplifies development for both people and agents. We tackle the challenge from the software stack side, convinced that AI coding LLMs will soon be a utility, widely available, and in need of a clean, consistent environment.

TENUM® is a fully abstracted Software Development & Operations Platform that covers the full DevOps infinite serverless: Code, Build, Test, Deploy, Release, Operate, Monitor, Plan

Our Research Focus: Software Abstraction

Throughout history, big leaps occur whenever we discover new ways to abstract complexity. Language itself is the greatest example - letting us convey ideas effortlessly.
Programming languages are another layer of abstraction, helping humans (and now AI) go from concept to machine code.

But building modern software is more than just typing code. It involves iterative cycles, infrastructure concerns, DevOps pipelines, and stitching technologies together. AI agents end up wrestling with these traditional burdens, like driving a stick shift in a world moving toward automation.

TENUM® hands AI a fully abstracted, automatic transmission for software development—removing the friction and letting them (and you) focus on what to build instead of how to build it.

What is TENUM®?

TENUM® is a the Software Development & Operations Platform for the Agentic Age - what we call the first "Custom Software as a Service" technology.
It automates the entire software lifecycle: development, deployment, scaling, and updates - all in one place, with minimal overhead.

Key Capabilities & Potential

By raising the abstraction level, TENUM® unleashes new possibilities:

• Serverless Development: High-scale applications that automatically meter and scale usage, cutting software costs significantly.

• Compatibility: All TENUM®-built software is plug-and-play, from snippets to full apps—solving the constant “reinvent the wheel” problem.

• Malleable Software: Teams or clients can fork and customize applications under a multi-tenant architecture, without losing the core IP.

• Open Source “Thankless Work” Fix: Work on TENUM® can be fingerprinted to its original creator, enabling automatic, meter-based kickbacks for contributions.

• Agentic APIs: External AI agents can leverage TENUM® on a task-based billing model, executing tasks quickly without dealing with DevOps or multi-step processes.

Our Vision

We see a future where humans and AI collaborate on TENUM®, unlocking massive potential in every sector - from personal projects to enterprise software.
