Kerber.ai: A Venture Studio Powered by AI

I’ve spent the last year deep in the AI coding trenches. Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot and a graveyard of abandoned configs.

The biggest insight? AI is 10x faster at setup. Not the coding itself, but the setup. Build processes, testing pipelines, documentation, CI/CD configs.

The actual coding? Maybe 2-3x, not 10x. And that’s fine.

The Setup

Kerber.ai is a venture studio with an unusual structure:

• Me (20+ years product experience)
• Henry (AI collaborator orchestrating 100+ specialised agents)
• A workflow that lets us ship like a large team

Henry isn’t magic. When I define an objective, Henry breaks it down, routes subtasks to appropriate specialist agents and synthesises the results.

The Workflow

Every feature follows the same flow:

1. Plan first: AI proposes, human reviews
2. Implementation: AI writes code while I review diffs in real-time
3. Verify everything: Trust but verify
4. Document failures: When AI does something stupid, it goes in the docs

Honest Truths

• AI won’t make you 10x productive overnight. Anyone who says otherwise is selling something.
• Setup time is real. Good workflows take weeks to build.
• The real winners are senior developers. Not because we write better prompts, but because we understand what good code looks like.
• 80% of code gets rewritten anyway. So why put prestige on writing it yourself?

The goal isn’t perfect code. The goal is shipping the right solution, with the right architecture, using the right tools.
