About

A small bet on a real problem.

Display.dev is a gated publishing engine for AI-generated artifacts. One command publishes any HTML or Markdown file behind your company’s auth. Your team signs in with Google, Microsoft, or a one-time password and sees the artifact exactly as the agent built it.

Why we’re building it

Sometime during spring in 2026, we kept hitting the same wall. Agents in Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex were producing genuinely useful HTML artifacts – spec sheets, interactive plans, reviews, dashboards. Sharing them with colleagues, however, was a mess. Screenshots and PDFs dumped into Slack. Asking people to clone a repo and run it on localhost. Buying a $320/month Vercel seat just to put a single page behind SSO. Nothing good.

The conclusion was obvious: anyone building with agents long enough hits this wall. So we built the thing we wanted to exist.

We’re Carl and Ott. We met at Pipedrive years ago and have been friends since. Carl is the engineer who lives inside agentic coding tools all day. Ott wears some of the other hats. Display.dev is the first thing we’re building together.
