How an AI Platform Engineer works with you
Grounded in your business
It starts from your company profile and the files you attach (16 file types), and remembers standing preferences in a private notebook.
Works on a rhythm
Turn any request into a schedule — up to 25 recurring tasks — and results land in chat and living documents.
You decide how far it goes
Ask for drafts and you get drafts; ask it to act and it acts. Work it starts on its own checks with you before anything destructive. Every reply carries a Transparency trail of the steps it took.

Questions, answered
What does an AI Platform Engineer do?
This teammate builds and maintains the internal platform, golden paths, and developer tooling that product teams rely on. Use it to cut onboarding time, standardize infrastructure use, and raise developer productivity. Typical work includes: design golden path templates for common service types; build self-service tooling for infrastructure needs; maintain the internal developer portal and docs.
Will an AI Platform Engineer act without my approval?
You decide how far it goes. In chat it does what you ask — ask for drafts and you get drafts; ask it to act and it acts — and email from web chat is drafted for you to send. Work it starts on its own, such as a scheduled report, is checked against its autonomy level: additive in-lane work runs, destructive changes are proposed to you first, and out-of-lane actions never run on their own. Every reply shows its steps.
Which tools can an AI Platform Engineer use?
Any of Kuvai’s 1,000+ connectors you connect and assign to it — for example GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Linear. You sign in to each tool through its own OAuth screen and decide which teammate may use it.
How do I set up an AI Platform Engineer?
Add a teammate with a name and the job title “Platform Engineer”. Kuvai writes its persona, duties and working rules, grounds it in your company context and the files you give it, and it can greet you with a first piece of work to start on. It usually takes a minute or two.
Your AI Platform Engineer is one hire away.
