> but only where it matters.

What does this mean?



Happy to expand on this. Only where you would consider to be not boilerplate, aka your business logic. I hate low-code that force me to use a rigid system for the core of my tools, but I love the velocity that it brings. What if we could have high-velocity for all the boilerplate (permissioning, queuing, frontend, secret management, etc, etc) but code for the business logic. That's what windmill is. In a way, this is what serverless was meant to be, write your business logic and servers autoscale and you can hook a gazillon managed services on top.

We bring that vision in a fully open-source and consistent platform that you can host wherever you please.


I suggest you work with a copywriter and come up with a better way of presenting windmill.dev. How you're presenting it makes sense to you, because you built it. You know what you mean when you say words like "boilerplate" and "business logic". That has a specific meaning in your head. But it's different for every person in the software industry. To a customer, it's confusing.

For investors:

> We are a developer platform for enterprise, offering a performance-focused solution for building internal software using code. Our open-source platform allows businesses to focus on their unique business logic while we handle the boilerplate tasks, resulting in high-velocity development and the ability to scale at enterprise levels.

For devs:

> We are a developer platform for enterprise, providing a system for running code written in Python, Typescript, Go, Bash, and query languages at scale. Our platform focuses on performance and offers extensive capabilities to build internal software, including APIs, workflows, background jobs, and UIs. With a fully open-source and flexible architecture, developers can concentrate on their business logic while leveraging our robust ecosystem for efficient development and hosting options.

Generic:

> Windmill is a developer platform designed for enterprises to build internal software efficiently. It combines the speed of low-code solutions with the flexibility of coding, allowing developers to focus on unique business logic rather than boilerplate tasks like permissioning, queuing, and front-end development. Our platform is fully open-source, offering high performance and hosting versatility.

> Our active community of developer users provides constant feedback, driving our platform's growth. By emphasizing commonly used languages such as Python, TypeScript, Go, and Bash, Windmill serves as a generalist tool without compromising quality, enabling complex functionalities within a production-ready, enterprise-scale environment.


I think there is a disconnect in your marketing of the product as well Ruben. From what I can gather, I think you are more suited to be in the RPA(robo/proc/auto) market. Also, since there is a current global push to agresively retool and re-train personnel in AI (ex. state dept. prioritize AI-READY WORKFORCE). I think you can bridge the gap between the world needing to retool workers NOW.. and AI achieving AGI in the near future. Once AGI is achieved, human workers will just become robot(ai) handlers/overseers. Best of luck to you.
