Manifesto
Software was Supposed to Be Malleable.
When the word was coined in the 1950s, it meant something alive, malleable logic running on hard machines. Software and hardware, working together. But that's not what enterprise software became.
Today, "enterprise software" means the opposite.
It means rigid workflows, static forms, exception errors, and endless consulting hours. The tools meant to bring order buried companies under layers of complexity. ERPs, point solutions, and middleware promised universality and delivered entropy. Systems built to serve everyone ended up serving no one particularly well.
One size fits none.
The best companies have always known it. Amazon, Tesla, Stripe. They don't contort to someone else's system. They build their own. They turned software into a competitive advantage.
For most, the only way to replicate this was to hire armies of developers or consultants, hard-code every rule, and pray it didn't break.
AI changes that. AI brings software back to its origin story. It doesn't need perfect inputs or happy paths. It can learn, adapt, and act.
Yet in the enterprise, raw AI is not enough. It must be governed.
Left alone, it hallucinates; unshaped, it can't be trusted.
The future isn't free-floating agents. It's agentic systems with structure.
That's what CoPlane builds.
A plane where agents, rules, and humans operate in concert.
Agents execute, classify, and reason. Rules encode policies, guardrails, and approvals. Humans step in at the edge cases—with full context, full audit, and full control.
CoPlane is where AI works for your company. It's the intelligent operations layer. A higher plane. Software that assembles around your data, your policies, and your people--and evolves as the business does.
We believe
- Custom is power. Every enterprise deserves systems contoured to its own shape, not bent to a vendor's template.
- AI is a catalyst. Use agents where they accelerate, anchor outcomes with code and rules, not as the first place to turn for everything.
- Code is your foundation. Once you've gathered data on how work gets done, use AI to crystallize it in code—for repeatability, leverage, and efficiency.
- Governance is non-negotiable. Every action should be explainable, auditable, and reversible.
- Time is leverage. Ship in weeks, iterate daily, compound continuously.
The result: systems that scale human judgment, eliminate repetitive work, and transform the back office into a durable competitive advantage.
We've started on hard-mode going deep with complex, global enterprises—including Georgia-Pacific, The Kraft Group, Parts Authority, and Red Ventures—to deliver a new plane of enterprise software.
Processes that learn under guardrails. Experts who improve logic directly. IT that multiplies its impact. Finance and operations that see every contour of the business: clear, fast, accountable.
Faster to deploy. Safer to govern. Built to last.
Every enterprise deserves systems shaped to its own contours. Go build the software only your company can have.
