How We Collaborated

We worked as a single team across all three solutions — no per-product owners. We split daily into pair-and-rotate sessions, met morning and evening to compare notes, and kept one shared thesis pinned: AI is only as good as the structure you give it. Each solution is a different altitude on that idea.

Anyone could (and did) commit to any of the three.

Solution 1 of 3

ClearGate

Bridging vibe coding and enterprise delivery.

ClearGate is the disciplined orchestration framework that turns Claude Code from a chaotic junior developer into an enterprise-ready engineering team. It is a planning framework, not a build tool — it scaffolds how AI agents plan and ship work, then hands execution back to your existing CI/test/deploy stack.
  • Compiled Awareness (Karpathy Wiki)

    A PostToolUse hook rebuilds a ~3k-token index.md on every edit, so every session starts with full situational context instead of blind grepping.

  • Three Ambiguity Gates

    Proposal → Epic → Story. Every phase requires human ratification (approved: true) before the AI can proceed.

  • Four-Agent Execution Loop

    Architect (one milestone plan) → Developer (one story per commit) → QA (independent verification) → Reporter (sprint retrospective). Sub-agents never speak directly.

  • Cryptographic Audit Trails

    Every Proposal, Epic, and Story is tied to a Git SHA — exact attribution of AI work, with explicit version control on every artifact.

  • MCP Sync to Linear / Jira / GitHub Projects

    Local .cleargate/delivery/pending-sync/ is the source of truth; once approved, the MCP adapter pushes ratified Epics and Stories into your existing PM stack.

Solution 2 of 3

Tee-Mo

Secure, Slack-native collaborative AI for the modern workspace.

Tee-Mo replaces the single-player browser-tab bottleneck with a multiplayer workspace where AI lives directly inside Slack channels and the entire team shares, refines, and acts on the same context in real time.
  • Read

    Deep context from Google Drive and local files via auto-generated, self-healing file catalogs — no stale caches, no shredded RAG chunks.

  • Act

    External execution via MCP — query GitHub, draft Jira tickets, build synthesis pages directly in the workspace wiki (Karpathy Parity).

  • Automate

    Scheduled cron tasks deliver background intelligence straight to Slack, with rich execution history and safe dry-run previews.

  • Semantic Routing, not RAG

    The "Librarian" model: read AI-generated catalogs of your 15 most critical files, select the right document, and read it entirely fresh. Perfect accuracy, zero staleness.

  • Bring Your Own Key (BYOK)

    You hold the API keys; Tee-Mo is purely the engine. Every credential is encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM. Zero in-process state.

  • Channel-Level Isolation

    Each channel gets its own dedicated brain wired to its own documents and tools. Engineering's bot physically cannot reach Marketing's files.

Solution 3 of 3

Exa

An AI-native workspace companion that lives inside Slack.

Exa is the production-ready Slack-native AI brain we built for Exadel itself. Engineers @mention Exa in any channel and ask questions grounded in the team's own documents, PRs, and pipelines.
  • Zero-Setup Ingestion

    Drop documents into Google Drive — Exa parses, indexes, and syncs PDFs, Word docs, spreadsheets, and presentations. No engineering required.

  • Project-Isolated Knowledge

    Every project gets its own secure data boundary. Team A cannot see Team B's docs.

  • PR & Pipeline Intelligence

    Real-time Slack alerts for PR reviews, approvals, and merge conflicts. Smart batching of CI/CD failures cuts noise without burying real breakage.

  • Daily & Weekly Digests

    Morning summaries of merged PRs, open reviews, pipeline status, and document updates. Leadership gets clean velocity reports without status-meeting overhead.

  • LLM-Wiki Knowledge Architecture

    Documents aren't a messy pile of text — they're parsed into summaries, concepts, entities, and cross-references, structured for LLM-native retrieval.

  • Modular, Cloud-Native Microservices

    Slack bot, sync engine, LLM backend, question workers, batch processors — each a standalone service. Runs on a single VM (~$13/month on GCP) or scales to Kubernetes.
