In this episode of Founder FAQ, we asked a dozen DevTool founders from companies like Greptile, Firecrawl, Recall.ai, about the state of AI agents and the future of software engineering. We covered everything from agents as customers and the end of coding, to advice for founders starting out and what they're most excited about going forward. Their answers might surprise you.
