Get to production with an AI you can actually trust

Works with your favorite models: GPT, Claude, DeepSeek and more.

Isomorphic is a native app and agent built around a live graph of your backend, so whichever model you pick goes straight to what a change affects: it builds faster, spends less and gets it right, and you see every change it makes as it happens.

An agent at work in Isomorphic

GPT-5.6 Luna, the weakest model in its family, built, ran and tested a newsletter signup endpoint in 100 seconds, and left about 100 lines of simple code to review.

Uses the graph

Iso AgentGPT-5.6 Luna
  1. Add a newsletter signup endpoint.

  2. Should signing up twice with the same email be an error?

  3. Yes, tell them they’re already subscribed.

  4. Learned what it needed about the current backend
  5. Wrote a subscribers migration and applied it to the database
  6. Wrote the query that saves a new subscriber
  7. Created a newsletter signup endpoint
  8. Exposed the signup endpoint as POST /newsletter/subscribe
  9. Built and ran the backend
  10. Tested signups with valid and invalid emails
  11. Verified the test signups were saved in the database
  12. Done. POST /newsletter/subscribe stores new emails in a subscribers table and rejects duplicates.

This illustrates the real 23-step run, simplified for readability. The numbers are from the real run.

One app where every part knows the others

Isomorphic is a native GUI around your whole backend, from the code to your live database. Iso Agent uses every tool in it, so you and the agent always see the same backend.

Iso Agent builds with 45+ actions made for backends

Where other agents edit file after file, Iso Agent creates an endpoint or applies a migration in one action. Each one is complete and validated the moment it runs, and you see it appear in the app.

Everything else is just Go.

Use any database, queue or service Go can connect to. Where Isomorphic has no tool yet, like MongoDB or an S3 client, Iso Agent or you write the code for it right in the project, and Isomorphic’s tools keep working everywhere else.

Is it for you?

Isomorphic is built for one job: building backends.

A good fit

  • You’re starting a new backend, whether it’s a startup, a new service at work or a side project.
  • You want an agent that builds production features fast and right, even on small or open-source models.
  • You want to see your whole backend and every change the agent makes in it, instead of a terminal and a wall of diffs.

Not yet

  • Existing projects: Isomorphic works on new backends it creates, the way you’d adopt a framework, and we’re working on bringing existing ones in.
  • Languages other than Go: TypeScript is planned, and more languages after it.

Questions we get asked

What is Isomorphic?

Isomorphic is an AI harness specialized for backend development. A native GUI and an agent built from scratch around one live understanding of your backend, from its code to its database.

Iso Agent has a semantic view of your backend, so your model builds production features faster, cheaper and more reliably. You see everything it does, and all of it is ordinary code in a repo you own.

My agent already writes good code. Why would I need this?

It probably does, but it takes the long way there. An agent working from files spends most of a task figuring out how your backend fits together, and that’s where its time, tokens and mistakes go.

Iso Agent asks Isomorphic and gets an exact answer, so the same model gets faster, cheaper and more reliable all at once. On many tasks it’s 2x faster, with a final context up to 10x smaller.

Can’t my agent do the same with MCP servers?

No. An MCP server helps your agent search your code, but what it finds is still files. The agent still has to figure out what they add up to and edit them one by one, with only the compiler to catch its mistakes.

In Isomorphic the structure is the source of truth, and the code is generated from it. Iso Agent gets exact answers, and every change it makes is validated and shows up in the app as it happens, which nothing added on top of files can do.

Can I use it on an existing project?

Not yet. Isomorphic works on new backends it creates, much like adopting a framework, and we’re working on ways to bring existing projects in.

Until then, start your next product, service or side project in it. Setup takes one click, so your first prompt can be a feature.

Agents already write more code than my team can review. Doesn’t this make it worse?

It’s built to do the opposite. Much of what an agent writes is repetitive code a change needs, like routes, query code and registrations. In Isomorphic that code is generated, validated and set aside in review.

What’s left is the logic, grouped by the service, endpoint, route or database it changes. The feature at the top of this page left about 100 lines in 4 short files.

What ends up in my repo? Can I leave?

Your repo holds a standard Go backend that builds and runs without Isomorphic, so you can push it to GitHub, run it in CI and deploy it anywhere. If you ever leave, you keep all of your code and lose only our agent and tools.

Which models can I use?

GPT, Claude, Grok, DeepSeek, GLM, Kimi and more, with local models planned. Iso Agent needs so little context that small, inexpensive models do production work.

Isomorphic’s own production backend was built almost entirely by GPT-5.6 Luna, the weakest model in its family, working in Isomorphic.

What’s coming

  1. Many projects at onceIso Agents already work side by side in one backend. Next, run them across several projects and repos, and follow every one of them from a single place.
  2. Deploy and observeShip from Isomorphic, then read logs, traces and performance right next to the logic that produced them.
  3. Local modelsIso Agent needs so little context that a model running on your own machine can do real work, and your code never leaves it.
  4. Semantic review v2Reviews that say what a change does to your backend, like a new route or a changed response, so even big pieces of agent work are clear at a glance.
  5. TypeScript and moreBring the same structure, tools and agent to backends written in TypeScript, then in more languages.

And then all software. We’re bringing the same approach to every part of a product, with Iso Agent growing into a general agent for high-quality software of any kind.

Order and plans may change.

“You might finish a day’s work tired, but you should finish it satisfied. Unfortunately, software today often leaves us frustrated or, increasingly, burnt out.”
