WHY DEVCURRENT
Not a coding assistant. Your software delivery, automated.
You may already have coding assistants, consultants or plans to build something yourself. Here is how DevCurrent differs from all three.
ASSISTANT OR DELIVERY
Why not just use a coding assistant?
Coding assistants make one developer faster. DevCurrent runs your whole team's delivery: specialised agents for every role, review and testing at every layer, gates your people hold, cost controls and a full audit trail. Your developers keep their assistant: Claude Code or any MCP client can drive DevCurrent directly.
Models are the engine. DevCurrent is the factory built around them.
THE COMPARISON
DevCurrent against the alternatives.
| DevCurrent | Coding assistants | Consultancies | Building it yourself | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What it does | Runs the whole lifecycle, from idea to production, and modernizes what you have | Makes one developer faster | Delivers a project with their people | An agent framework you have to engineer, run and govern yourself |
| Who is in control | Your people, at the gates you choose | The developer | The supplier | Whoever built it |
| Existing code | Understands whole estates in every language, and proves the modernized system behaves as before | Sees the files in front of it | Learns it by hand, at your cost | Only what you build |
| Governance | Approvals, roles, audit and cost caps, built in | Little | Contracts and reports | Yours to build |
| Where it runs | Your cloud, in the region you choose, or your own servers | Mostly the vendor's cloud | Their laptops and tools | Wherever you put it |
| Cost | A licence with unlimited users, plus your own model spend | Per seat | Per hour | Engineering time, indefinitely |
IN SHORT
Have coding assistants?
Keep them. They make developers faster, and DevCurrent delivers the whole lifecycle around them. Claude Code or any MCP client can drive DevCurrent directly.
Use consultants?
DevCurrent takes over a large share of what they deliver today, and the knowledge stays with you, not with the supplier. Consultancies can also deliver with DevCurrent as a partner.
Want to build it yourself?
An agent framework is a start. Specialised agents, review at every layer, approvals, audit and cost control are the rest of the job, and that job is done.
