Building Agent-Native Layer.

Our story.

CROSSROADS 2026 · SOFIA

We are a team of ambitious young engineers and AI researchers brought together at Crossroads 2026 in Sofia by a shared passion for building technology that matters. With backgrounds spanning artificial intelligence, machine learning, software engineering, and systems architecture, we combine different perspectives with a common vision.

What makes our team stand out is how naturally we work together. We challenge each other’s ideas, solve problems collaboratively, and turn ambitious concepts into working solutions.

We started building Agent-Native Layer (ANL) because we recognized a fundamental limitation in today’s AI ecosystem: software is designed for humans, not autonomous agents. Rather than building yet another AI agent, we want to rethink how agents interact with existing software, making those interactions more accessible, reliable, and verifiable.

ANL is the result of our shared curiosity, technical ambition, and belief that the best ideas emerge when people build together.

Meet the team.
