About
Imbue is a San Francisco-based AI research company founded in 2021 by Kanjun Qiu and Josh Albrecht to build AI systems that remain loyal to humans rather than to platform providers. The company develops an open agent ecosystem focused on tools that users can understand, modify, and verify — purpose-built for software developers. Its product suite includes Sculptor (a desktop app for running coding agents in parallel), mngr (a CLI for managing coding agents at scale across local and remote hosts), Vet (a code review agent that catches overconfidence in AI-generated code), Blueprint (a one-shot task planner for coding agents), and Latchkey (a local private auth tool for agent credentials). Imbue raised a $200M Series B at a valuation exceeding $1 billion, with investors including NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, and Anthropic co-founder Tom Brown. The company's philosophy centers on honest software: tools that serve the user's interests, not the platform's, with open-source releases across most of its core products.
