Wealthsimple just published the story behind Compass, something I'm really proud to have worked on.
If you're building internal AI at a 500+ person company, read this.
Anyone can tag Compass in Slack to search the company, answer questions with sources, investigate issues, build tools, review code, fix failures, and ship changes end to end.
For engineers, it gets a real dev environment and can write, test, debug, respond to reviews, and keep going. We even used Compass to build Compass.
Teams across the company build reusable skills on top of it. For example, one picks up well-defined backlog tickets overnight and leaves draft PRs for review in the morning.
Since June, Compass has reviewed 38,500+ PRs and opened 6,800+ across 100+ repos.
I spent my summer on its infrastructure: reliability, observability, sandboxes, and evals.
Building an agent is easy. Building one that 2,000 people rely on is hard. You have to keep it alive mid-task, catch silent failures, and give it the right access to the right systems.
My takeaway: use the best models and vendors, but build the layer that understands your company. No one can sell you that.
