Worked with Dexicon to clarify product UX and positioning, enabling faster execution, clearer storytelling, and readiness for early adoption and growth.
Building Dexicon — An Engineering Context Platform for the Age of AI Agents
What is Dexicon
Dexicon is an engineering context platform designed to solve a core problem in modern software development:
AI agents and developers lack shared, reliable context.
As engineering teams adopt AI for coding, debugging, and autonomous workflows, context becomes fragmented across docs, repos, CI/CD systems, tickets, and tribal knowledge. Dexicon unifies this scattered information into a structured, queryable knowledge layer that both humans and AI agents can understand and act on.
Dexicon enables teams to make faster, better decisions by capturing engineering knowledge, system relationships, and operational signals in one continuously evolving context graph.
The Problem
Modern engineering teams face three compounding challenges:
• Engineering knowledge is scattered across tools and people
• AI coding agents operate without real system awareness
• Context is lost between design, code, infra, and operations
As a result:
• Developers waste time re-explaining systems
• AI agents hallucinate or make unsafe assumptions
• Teams move fast locally but slow at an organizational level
Dexicon set out to become the context layer that bridges this gap.
Our Role
We partnered closely with Dexicon from early stages to help shape the platform into what it is today. Our role spanned:
• Product strategy and system thinking
• UX and information architecture
• Platform narrative and positioning
• Translating deep engineering concepts into usable product flows
The goal was not just to design screens, but to make context tangible, usable, and scalable.
Our Approach
1. Clarifying the Core Idea
We helped distill Dexicon’s vision into a single, strong concept:
Engineering context as infrastructure, not documentation.
This clarity guided every decision that followed.
2. Designing for Engineers and AI
The platform needed to serve two users at once:
• Human engineers
• Autonomous and semi-autonomous AI agents
We structured the experience to expose relationships, dependencies, and signals in a way that is:
• Intuitive for humans
• Machine-readable for agents
3. Systemizing Complexity
Dexicon deals with inherently complex data. We focused on:
• Clean mental models
• Progressive disclosure
• Clear hierarchy over visual noise
This ensured the product felt powerful without feeling overwhelming.
4. Positioning for the Future
Rather than framing Dexicon as another dev tool, we helped position it as:
• An AI-native platform
• Built for agentic workflows
• Ready for the next generation of software teams
What We Built
• A clear product narrative that explains Dexicon in minutes, not meetings
• A structured UX that reflects real engineering workflows
• A scalable foundation for adding new data sources and agent capabilities
• A platform experience that balances depth, clarity, and extensibility
Outcomes and Impact
The work resulted in tangible, high-impact outcomes:
• Dexicon moved faster from concept to execution
• Engineering complexity became understandable and explorable
• The platform became easier to explain to customers and investors
• Dexicon established a strong identity as an AI-native engineering context layer
• The product was positioned for early adoption, iteration, and scale
Most importantly, Dexicon evolved from an abstract idea into a coherent, credible platform built for the future of software development.
Why It Matters
As AI agents become first-class contributors to software teams, context will be the defining advantage. Dexicon sits at that intersection — enabling alignment, speed, and trust between humans and machines.
This project wasn’t just about building a product.
It was about shaping a new category.
