The Agentive Manifesto

Our view of the world

01.

Human+AI Collaboration

We build with human capability in mind, focusing on accessibility, simplicity, and joy in every interaction between people and technology.

02.

Transparency and trust

We're all about being open and treating everyone with respect. It's how we build real trust and lasting partnerships.

03.

Communication is key

We take George Bernard Shaw's insight seriously: just because you've sent a message doesn't mean it's been understood. We double-check to make sure we're on the same page.

04.

No boring meetings

Three people in a call for an hour is not a one-hour meeting. That's a 3-hour meeting. We strive for efficient communication, using meetings only as a last resort.

05.

No place for micromanagement

We despise micromanagement. We're autonomous, self-motivated and self-driven. No hovering or shoulder-watching here. We trust in our team's ability to deliver.

06.

No time-sheets or time tracking

We see time as the most valuable asset in the world. That's why we don't waste it on tracking hours. Our focus is on meaningful outcomes, rather than the clock.

07.

Hourly billing is bad for everyone

We believe hourly billing is a bad experience for all parties involved and it should be eradicated from the world. Therefore, we don't do it.

08.

Focus on outcome, not inputs

We zero in on the real impact of our work, rather than just the effort put in. It's the results that matter most to us and our customers.

09.

Relationships over transactions

We value deep connections. We believe in partnerships, not transactions. Building strong, lasting relationships with our customers is at the heart of what we do.

10.

L.O.V.A.B.L.E. Factor

We craft delightful experiences using emotional design, storytelling, and psychology, creating AI that feels intuitive and human-centered.
