How i am solving the "babysitting" AI coding agents problem.

I've been working on something for the past 3 months that I'm finally ready to share.

It started with a frustrating moment: I was coding at my desk when my AI agent hit a blocker. I wanted to walk away. I couldn't. I sat there for 45 minutes, watching a progress bar I couldn't leave.

This happens to developers constantly. AI coding tools made us faster, but they trapped us at our desks.

So I decided to build Cipher — AR glasses for supervising AI coding agents from anywhere on Earth.

Here's the problem:

Remote AI supervision exists (Claude Code, Cursor mobile), but the UX is broken. Squinting at code on a phone screen, typing corrections on a tiny keyboard, zero visual context. The capability is real. The experience is punishment.

Cipher fixes the interface:

  • AR glasses — see code in context, not raw text on a tiny display
  • Voice control — speak instructions, no keyboard friction
  • Multi-agent team — 7 specialist AI agents (architecture, security, testing, DevOps, data, frontend)
  • Hands-free — supervise while walking, same capability, 10× better experience

What's working today:
✅ 7 AI agents orchestrated in real-time (CrewAI + Groq models)
✅ Sub-1.5 second latency globally over internet architecture
✅ Real coding tasks completed successfully end-to-end
✅ I use it daily on my own projects

The plan:

  • Phone app beta (next few months) — validate with waitlist users
  • AR glasses prototype — build hardware in parallel
  • Kickstarter launch — prove demand, deliver to early adopters

I'm 17.

I'm a full-stack developer.

I've been coding since 14.

I had an ML engineering internship at 15.

I AM the target customer — I built this because I needed it.

This is pre-seed stage.

I'm actively recruiting angel investors and co-founder for operations/legal/Funding (Since I'm 17, I need a rockstar partner to handle business entities, corporate structuring, and legal scaling while I run the technical engine)..

Building in public.
