Building software in 2026 still feels like sci-fi magic every day.
Today, Conduct’s agents improve themselves. Given an issue, a swarm of subagents in a sandbox spin up and experiment on the harness tuning skills, tool implementations, prompts, models, sandbox setup. A few minutes of hill climbing and a new, improved harness is available.
Across the board, work that took days is done autonomously. We’re constantly learning new agent-pilled ways of working.
Thrilled to be talking with OpenAI tomorrow about how Conduct is building in the age of AI. Luma link below ↓

Builders of London, assemble!
We're co-hosting a Builder Lounge with @OpenAI. Some words of wisdom from our CTO @henrythomp1 and then plenty of time to hang out, meet our teams, and - of course - build.

Agent harness or guitar hero harness - that's the real question.
But for those that couldn't make it to the meetup on Wednesday, here are some other topics I covered with @jacsebl and @bakarbuwe:
- AI is requiring most start-ups to hire more, not fewer, engineers.
- Successful meta-engineering takes time and experimentation but gets you shipping faster.
- AI that's valuable for enterprises is designed with adoption and enablement in mind.
Thanks to all who came, and if these topics resonate with you, make sure to check out our open roles!
Final slots remaining for tomorrow's @ConductAI x @WeAreLegora engineering meetup!
If you're one of London's top engineers and you're fully focussed on building, sign up in the comments ⬇️
We'll kick things off with a fireside between me and @jacsebl, hosted by our very own @bakarbuwe, before an evening of games, food, and drinks in Shoreditch.
Hope to see you there!

London is the next global hub of AI and engineering talent. With our friends at Legora, we're gathering together 100 of the city's most exciting engineers for an evening out in Shoreditch.
If that's you, and you'd love an evening of arcade games, meeting new people, and chatting with CTO of Conduct @henrythomp1 and CTO of Legora @jacsebl, apply at the link in the comments.

A software engineer's life is not all fun and games, but on July 8 it is.
Together with @WeAreLegora we're hosting an evening for software engineers. Join us for a fireside chat, retro arcade games, drinks, and food at NQ64 Shoreditch in London.

A large company needs a small change to its IT system. It’s going to take months to implement. Unless you step in.
Join us for a hackathon at Imperial College London. Show us that you can solve problems in real enterprise systems and demo your project at the House of Lords.
Conduct AI 🤝 UK AI Agent Hackathon EP5
We’re thrilled to welcome @ConductAI as the Title Sponsor of UK AI Agent Hackathon EP5.
Conduct AI is building agentic AI for enterprise systems — helping teams understand, modernise, and transform complex legacy software systems, starting with SAP. Their platform reads underlying code, maps dependencies, captures institutional knowledge, and helps teams plan, develop, and test system changes faster and with more confidence.
As AI agents move from demos to production, Conduct AI represents exactly where the space is heading: real workflows, real enterprise complexity, and real operational impact.
This summer, we’re bringing together developers, founders, researchers, and AI enthusiasts at Imperial College London to build and showcase the next generation of agentic applications.
The best teams will hack their way to the House of Lords Demo Day in September.

AI has dramatically accelerated shipping code, but the companies running our daily lives cannot access this speed. Yet.
@ConductAI has raised a $60M Series A to fix that.
Our customers, like DHL or Daimler Truck, write hundreds of millions of lines of code to operate factories, global supply chains, finance sectors, airports, warehouses, and more.
Enabling them to ship at AI speed would transform the world. But doing so extends beyond the code, into how it fits within an organization, its processes, its people, and the physical world.
That means building agents that can determine how a factory actually operates, piecing together code, logs, conversations, and snippets of documents. Designing a harness able to trace the impact across 50 million lines of ERP code when optimising vehicle fleet operations. A context graph with enough knowledge to guide how 20,000 warehouse employees must adapt to a new routing algorithm.
Job board and blog post in thread, we're hiring across London and New York!

We've raised a $60m Series A from @IndexVentures, @ICONIQCapital, and @SAP.

Thank you, @ICONIQCapital . We’re proud to partner with you.
SAP systems contain decades of critical business logic, but too much of it is buried in custom code and tribal knowledge. Conduct is helping enterprises make that logic visible, trustworthy, and ready to evolve.
Nearly every Fortune 500 company runs on SAP. Far fewer could clearly explain what their systems do.
Over decades, enterprises have encoded operating models, compliance rules, pricing logic, and supply chain exceptions into custom SAP code. As teams change and documentation ages, that knowledge becomes harder to read, explain, and evolve.
Jan Philipp Haas, Philipp Hoefer, and Henry Thompson saw this up close during their years at Palantir. They founded Conduct so companies can better understand, trust, and modernize the systems they depend on.
Conduct’s agentic AI works to reverse-engineer custom SAP code, map dependencies, and translate legacy logic into a clearer, business-readable insight, with enterprise customers including DHL, Daimler, and Rittal already using the platform.
We’re proud to partner with Jan Philipp, Philipp, Henry, and the @ConductAI team.

Thank you, @IndexVentures. We’re excited to have you with us on this journey.
The enterprise systems that run the world weren’t built to change quickly, but AI gives us a new way to understand and modernize them. That’s exactly what we’re building at Conduct.
In most big companies, a good idea can take years – and millions if not billions of dollars – to ship. The holdup is often the underlying software, which is too customized and tangled to change quickly. @ConductAI collapses that work onto AI, turning a two-year change into a two-day one.
