We build AI‑native developer tools that turn prompt ideas into working software — fast, focused, and flow‑friendly.
Context switching kills momentum. Single‑threaded AI tools slow teams down. Dereference makes AI truly collaborative — letting you orchestrate parallel conversations, branch ideas, and move from intent to code without breaking flow.
Founded in August 2025 in San Francisco by robotics engineer and serial hackathon winner Adi Singh, and cybersecurity expert and 3× Olympiad winner Iacop Hafiane, we're building the modern, agentic workspace for developers.
Conversations and code stay on your machine. Nothing leaves your environment.
Built for prompt‑driven workflows with smart context, branching, and orchestration.
Designed for deep work: fast, minimal, and tuned for productivity.
Dereference builds the next generation of AI‑native development tooling. We plug into your existing stack — including Claude Code CLI — and wrap it in a focused, resilient workspace for complex, multi‑threaded work.
Run multiple AI conversations simultaneously with intelligent context switching.
Create and merge conversation branches like Git for your AI interactions.
Built with modern technologies for lightning-fast performance and reliability.
Works with your existing tools and workflows without disruption.
