Tools for an AI-native business

These are the tools we use to run an AI-native business, grouped by the job they do, each with a source note behind it.

Build and change software with agents

Git, GitHub and Cursor let us track code and delegate changes to agents on separate branches while GitHub keeps repository and merge control.
pnpm and Nx manage our packages and project tasks with reproducible installs, dependency-based task selection and local caching.
TypeScript checks compatibility across our applications and libraries before runtime through explicit package types.
Zod validates our untrusted requests and configuration at runtime, catching invalid data that TypeScript alone cannot check.

Vitest and Playwright test our code and browser journeys so we can use focused code tests unless the behavior needs a real browser.
Agent Browser lets our agents check websites through compact snapshots and element references instead of large page trees or screenshots. npm install -g agent-browser
Nx-affected CI on GitHub Actions selects checks for our changed projects and their consumers using the dependency graph rather than maintained folder lists.

Next.js and React run our web routes and component rendering while keeping reusable business logic separate from the web framework.
Tailwind CSS and Radix give our interfaces responsive styling and accessible interaction primitives without taking over product behavior.
TanStack Form coordinates our form fields and submissions while keeping validation and server results separate from client-side interaction.
NestJS hosts our dedicated APIs with controllers and modules that keep request handling separate from business logic.
PostgreSQL and Drizzle store our relational data and provide typed queries and mappings without tying business logic to database records.
Better Auth handles our self-hosted email and password sign-in with PostgreSQL persistence while keeping access policy separate.
UploadThing handles our browser file transfers and storage mechanics while our application controls permissions and accepted files.
Vercel deploys our web applications with support for Nx-based build selection so unrelated changes can skip a build.

Vercel AI SDK handles our model calls and streaming through provider adapters so we can change providers without rewriting business logic.

Stripe executes our payments through a separate integration so orders and fulfilment do not depend on Stripe's data model.
Resend delivers our transactional email while keeping message content, consent and sending decisions independent of the delivery provider.

Upstash Redis and Ratelimit limit public-enquiry requests before database access with a shared endpoint budget and rejection when the limiter is unavailable.

Sui supports our main chain integration with Move contracts and explicit transaction construction, keeping signing separate from business intent.
Solana supports our additional chain integration through SDK and wallet adapters that keep chain-specific objects out of business contracts.

Docusaurus renders our public guides with stable routes and React extension points as part of a documentation system for people and agents.
Is Agentic checks our public site's barriers to agent use with free reports that include observed issues and suggested fixes. npx is-agentic <your-domain>
