Founding M6R

Dave Hudson -

I'm excited to announced the founding of M6R. For the last year I've been increasingly optimistic about being able to build large and complex software solutions using AI. Now it's time to make that a reality!

Across the industry we've seen a huge race to add AI capabilities to our software tools. However, at M6R we're taking a different approach. We believe the way forward is to embrace an AI First approach.

AI First

What do we mean by AI First? It means we imagine a future in which we have entirely new AI-powered tools that will make it far easier to turn ideas into high quality software.

The software we produce only makes sense because we can power it with AI.

Built with AI, imagined and designed by you

AI can do incredible things, but it has to have a reason to do them. That reason is you! Human curiosity and creativity far exceeds our current ability to turn those ideas into working software.

All ideas start with a problem to be solved. For us, that problem is "how do we turn ideas into software far more quickly and at a far lower cost than we could do conventionally?" This is an ambitious goal, and we don't expect you to believe we can do this without some really compelling demonstrations. Most of what you're seeing on this website is a demonstration though. We've used early versions of our tooling to build large parts of it.

Metaphor: powering an AI-First approach

The first capability we're bringing to you is a simple language called Metaphor (yes, that's M, 6 letters, R). It exemplifies our AI-First approach and allows you to describe problems and capture elements of a solution in a way that lets AI build the software.

One important aspect of Metaphor is we're using it to improve itself. Aside from the original prototype, each part of the Metaphor toolchain has been built this way.

We'll be releasing an early version in a few days time and watch out for some demos of things we've built this way. We can't wait to see what you can build with it.
