Summary

Tyler Wells lives outside of Austin, TX. He moved there 4 years ago, but spent most of this time in the Bay Area and Silicon Valley. Outside of tech, he is married with a family. His 3 kids are heavily involved in sports and extracurricular activities, which keeps them all pretty busy. But, when he has time, he is into cooking. He thinks of it as a nerdy endeavor, eating at a fancy restaurant and going home to try to recreate the dish.

At the sunset of his prior company, Tyler and his co-founders started digging into the AI Code Editor, Cursor, and how the agent side of things could increase the power and speed of coding. Through the shutdown, they decided to start something new.

This is the creation story of Braingrid.
