We started The Shed to remove every barrier between a team and the tool it needs.
Software should be easy to create, easy to share, and easy to use. AI finally makes that possible, if the workspace around it is good enough.
Software is no longer something precious or valuable on it's own. We've removed all the barriers to give anyone the power to get the best help in completing their work. From a quick throwaway spreadsheet calculation tool to a complex inventory management system used by your whole team. Create the software you need, throw it away, or keep evolving it forever.
The problems that kept repeating.
Most people do not bother using AI because the barrier is too high, so work stays manual in spreadsheets or ad hoc processes.
External SaaS systems force teams to adapt their workflow to the tool instead of letting the tool fit the team.
Many problems require many external systems. Costs grow quickly and become a serious operational overhead.
Disconnected systems create silos. People cannot work centrally with the same data, so collaboration slows down.
