GateStack is the AI Agent Control Plane for founders. Specialized agents work under scope, gates, proof, and human approval. You own the code, the data, the infrastructure, and the proof.
You can have the idea. The capital. The market. Twenty years of domain experience that tells you exactly what should be built.
And one developer holds the entire thing hostage.
You cannot read the code. You cannot ship the deploy. You cannot fix the bug at 11 PM. You cannot tell whether the work being done is the work you paid for.
Trust is not a strategy when there are forty-seven lines of unaudited code between you and your customers' data.
This was the problem GateStack was built to solve. Specialized agents organized into six functional groups. One operator making three decisions per build. Every commit governed. Every action logged. Every deploy auditable.
That is the system. Now it is available to you.
You bring the business knowledge. GateStack brings the engineering team that does not quit, does not sleep, and does not hold you hostage.
Every action must pass through every stage. No shortcuts. No bypasses. Human acceptance required.
Inspects every commit. Enforces scope. Approves nothing without proof. Your senior engineer who never leaves, never holds you hostage, and never lets bad code reach production.
Translate your business requirements into technical specifications. You describe what you want in plain English. They return an engineering document that real software gets built from.
Design the database, API surface, and deployment stack before code is written. Master Build Standard applied automatically.
Write production code. FastAPI. PostgreSQL. Tested. Documented. Reviewed by Watchman before anything merges.
Deploy. Monitor. Patch. Maintain. Your software stays up at 3 AM because they detect anomalies and act before you know.
Logs every action, approval, model call, cost, and line changed. Immutable. Tamper-evident. Exportable.
You explain your idea to a developer. Three weeks later you get back something 60% what you described and 40% what they thought you meant.
You describe your idea in plain English. GateStack returns a complete spec within an hour. You approve. The Builders take over.
Your developer Slacks at 11 PM: “PR ready, need merge.” You stare at 200 lines of code you cannot read.
Watchman verifies the change against scope, checks proof, and routes the gate decision to you in clear terms. Code merges only after your approval.
Your site goes down at 3 AM. Your developer is asleep or gone. You wake up to angry messages and lost revenue.
Watchman detects the failure and routes the recovery decision through the proper gate. You wake up to a resolution log, not a crisis.
You cannot change vendors. The codebase is in a private repo your developer controls. You are locked in.
Your code is in your repo. Your backups land in your bucket. Every credential lives where you can rotate it. You can leave any time.
The governance is the moat. Every action scoped, gated, audited, verified, proofed, and accepted.
Proof Packet Verified · Human acceptance required
GateStack does not trust agents. GateStack contains agents.
No phase advances without acceptance. No commit without proof. No deployment without verification. No agent self-acceptance.
You sit at the top. Ninety-seven percent of work runs autonomously. Three percent requires your approval at three defined gates. That is three decisions per build. The rest is execution.
API. CLI. VS Code Extension. Every surface enforces the same rule: no mutation without proof. No execution without approval. No bypass.
Scoped access to projects, gates, incidents, and draft directive creation. Protected by API key authentication, per-key rate limiting, and dual-write audit logging.
View API Reference →Terminal access to health, projects, gates, incidents, and directive submission. Safe key handling, redacted output, and controlled error mapping.
View CLI Reference →Project state, pending gates, and Watchman incidents inside your editor. Submit directives with selected-text confirmation and no-execution messaging.
View Extension Reference →We are our own first customer.
Built to support multiple entities from one controlled operating layer.
No platform lock-in. No "we keep your code if you cancel." Yours.
In your repo. Not ours. Not a platform repo you cannot access. Yours.
In your bucket. Backups under your keys. Model calls logged in your account.
Deploy where you decide. Your choice. Your decision.
Every action logged. Tamper-evident. Exportable. No support ticket required.
Month-to-month. Cancel any time. Take everything with you.
Evidence-based inspection across 11 categories. Severity-classified findings. Owner decision recommendation. Audit hash on every report. Surface wiring gaps, missing proof, security risks, ownership concerns, and public claim issues in any AI-built or developer-built application.
Not a guaranteed audit. Findings are based on submitted evidence only. No automatic repairs. No live repo scan required.
Submit evidence across 11 categories. Receive a scored report with severity-classified findings, launch blockers, and owner decision recommendation.
Turn findings into a governed correction scope with priority classification, hard limits, and required proof. Operator-controlled.
Move into GateStack for governed correction with scope, gates, proof, audit, and owner acceptance on every change.
Priced against developer cost, not AI tool subscriptions. Month-to-month or annual. Your code, your data, your infrastructure.
For open projects and founders evaluating GateStack.
For the founder replacing a developer with governed AI execution.
For portfolio operators running multiple active builds under one operating layer.
For VC portfolios and organizations requiring dedicated infrastructure.
Private deployment. Your infrastructure. Your compliance boundary.
Questions? Reach out at support@getgatestack.com
Your spec is approved. Your stack is deployed. Your audit log is running. The agents are building, monitoring, patching, and reporting.
You are not learning to code. You are not hiring a CTO. You are shipping.
If GateStack is not the right fit, we will tell you on the call. No pitch. No pressure.
