oh-my-pi version 15.11 release with collaborative session sharing
Products & Services
An open-source AI coding agent for the terminal with a 100k+ line Rust core. Features include native LSP/DAP support, persistent Python/JS kernels, subagents, and end-to-end encrypted session sharing.
A state-of-the-art text compaction strategy that renders conversation history into dense pixel-font PNGs, allowing models to read context back at 1/3 of the token cost.
A local, disk-based memory system using SQLite and vector embeddings for long-term agent memory.
Market Position
Positions omp as a superior alternative to browser-based AI agents and 'harness-poor' CLI tools by emphasizing native performance, deterministic edits, and deep IDE integration (LSP/DAP).
Leadership
Founders
Can Bölük
Senior Software Engineer II at Dandy (May 2022 – Present). Founder of Verilave Inc. (2020). Security researcher and reverse engineer with deep expertise in Windows internals, x86/x64 architecture, and kernel development. Notable speaker at HITBSecConf Amsterdam (2020).
Founding Story
Can Bölük, a prominent security researcher and reverse engineer, transitioned his expertise in breaking software into building better AI coding agents. He created oh-my-pi (omp) by forking Mario Zechner's Pi and rewriting it with a native Rust core to provide a faster, more reliable, and 'unapologetically native' development experience.
Business Model
