Derp began with the vision of re-imagining one of the fundamental devtools — the terminal — to make it more usable and powerful for all developers.

Our mission: to empower developers to ship better software more quickly, freeing them to focus on their work's creative and rewarding aspects.

As AI has advanced, Derp has evolved beyond its terminal roots into a powerful agentic development environment — a workbench for dispatching agents to code, deploy, and debug production software.

We believe that soon developers will be "tech leads" for groups of agents. Rather than opening a code editor to write code or a terminal to write commands, they will open Derp and prompt their computer to build features, fix bugs, and diagnose production issues.

In this future, AI doesn't replace developers — it gives them superpowers. It works alongside them, and together human + AI ship better software together.
