How do I get my dev team actually using AI agents (not just autocomplete)?
Start from your real environment, not a demo. Most teams have Claude Code as a copilot and stop there; the jump is to agents that run real work in production against your standards and review gates. That takes three things: a codebase and docs agents can navigate, guardrails your seniors trust, and devs trained to operate fleets rather than fear them. tsukumo does this transition with your team, in your repo — we augment your devs, we don't replace them.
Why teams stall at copilot
Editor seats give you autocomplete and in-line Q&A. That's the floor, not the ceiling — it's roughly 10% of what these models can do. Teams stall there because the next step isn't a better autocomplete; it's a different operating model, and nothing in the license tells you that.
What "agents in production" actually requires
Three things, none of which come in a seat: durable context (a source of truth the agents can navigate), guardrails your seniors trust (review gates, scoped permissions, observability), and operators — developers trained to run fleets rather than supervise a single assistant.
How we transition your team (augment, not replace)
We work in your repo, on your standards, with your controls intact. Your developers become the operators; the craft stays theirs and the output gets much bigger. We don't drop in a black box and leave — the goal is your team running agents without us.
Straight answers.
- Will this replace my developers?
- No — it makes them operators. Your developers run the agents; we augment them, we don't replace them. A good developer running good agents beats either one alone.
- Do we have to change our stack?
- No. We work in your existing environment and standards. The point is to upgrade how your current system works, not to replace it with ours.
- Is Claude Code enough?
- It's the copilot floor. Production agents need durable context, guardrails, observability, and trained operators — none of which come with the seats.
