We’re thrilled to announce the launch of AI Native Dev at ainativedev.io—a new site dedicated to AI Native Development and the latest AI-powered dev tools. Built and maintained by Tessl, our goal is to make this the go-to place for developers navigating the evolving AI-driven software landscape.
What You’ll Find on AI Native Dev
Tessl has built up various AI Native content spaces including The AI Native Dev podcast, and The AI Native DevCon event, which it has donated to this new site, ensuring they remain dedicated spaces for learning and collaboration.
AI Native Dev will continue to expand with news articles, deep dives on AI development tools, and perspectives on AI Native Development. Our goal is to help developers stay ahead in a world where AI is reshaping software engineering.
A New Home for a Growing Community
This initial version of AI Native Dev is just the beginning. We’re actively building a custom, interactive, and collaborative platform where developers can share insights, tools, and best practices. Our vision is to create a space that grows with the community and supports open discussions on the future of AI-powered development.
Announcing AI Native DevCon Spring 2025 – May 13th!
We’re also excited to announce that AI Native DevCon is back! Our next virtual event will take place on May 13th, 2025, featuring:
A new AI tool in action track – Get hands-on with the latest AI-powered dev tools.
Real-world success stories – Learn from teams actively using AI in their workflows.
Bold insights from industry leaders – Discover what’s next for AI-powered engineering.
📢 The CFP (Call for Papers) is now open! If you’re building the future of AI-powered development, we want to hear from you. Submit your talk by April 4th, 2025.
Join the AI Native Dev Community
AI Native Dev isn’t just a website—it’s a community of developers embracing AI-first software development. We invite you to join us on Discord to connect with like-minded engineers, share insights, and stay updated on the latest in AI-powered dev tools.

Developing AI Native Principles
We believe AI is changing how software is built, not just how it’s enhanced. That’s why we’re working on AI Native Development Principles, a set of evolving guidelines that capture the key shifts in AI-powered software development, including:
Specification-Driven Development – AI-generated code starts with clear, structured specifications.
Context-Aware Development – AI understands and integrates full project context for better decision-making.
AI Agents as Developers – AI isn’t just assisting; it’s actively creating and operating software systems.
Human Oversight by Design – AI-driven workflows must have clear human oversight and alignment with intent.
We invite the developer community to contribute and refine these principles with us.
Let’s Build the Future of AI Native Development
We’re just getting started. AI Native Dev is built by and for developers who want to push the boundaries of what’s possible with AI-powered software engineering.
