Overview
Agentic Labs is a New York-based YC W24 AI software company focused on making software design and architecture faster and more maintainable for engineering teams. Its public-facing product is Glide, an AI-first editor for technical design docs and codebase-aware documentation; a demo subdomain also surfaces an AI documentation experience called Stanza. Public sources consistently describe the company as very small and pre-seed stage.

Pricing
Public pricing appears service-based rather than SaaS-only: fixed-price delivery engagements, monthly embedded retainers, and training cohorts; no public self-serve product pricing was found.
