What it does
Unblocked eliminates the countless hours developers spend in meetings, dealing with interruptions and searching for documents as they look for answers to questions about their codebase.
Unblocked gives AI agents trusted context across code, conversations, issues, docs, and production systems so they can complete work correctly.
Unblocked is the context layer for agentic software development. It reasons across your code, conversations, issues, docs, product, and production systems so agents can complete work correctly with less human intervention. Markdown goes stale. MCP exposes individual systems. Neither resolves conflicts, weighs recency, or determines what matters for the task at hand. We ran the exact same engineering task twice using the same coding agent, codebase, and prompt. The only difference was access to Unblocked. With full context on dependencies and consumption patterns, the agent didn’t waste search tokens or generate useless output. Unblocked gave our engineer 2 hours and 5 minutes back that…from getunblocked.com

Unblocked provides helpful and accurate answers to any question about your codebase. When a project and team gets big enough, one of the most time consuming parts of building software is understanding the entirety of your codebase — how it works, why it was written, and works the way it does. Based on our collective painful experiences of countless hours in meetings, dealing with interruptions and digging through obsolete documentation while building software at companies like Microsoft, Amazon, facebook/Meta and Apple… we created…
Blocks2025 · blocks.diy · ▲448Hi HN, We just launched Blocks - an AI platform where anyone can build custom work apps and AI agents in minutes, no coding required. We’re seeing a shift in how software is built and used. With AI, software isn’t just about tracking processes anymore - it can actively help people get work done. The problem is that most teams still face 2 options: either buy off-the-shelf tools that never quite fit, or invest a lot of time and money into custom development. Neither works well. Blocks is the third option. It’s an AI-native platform where teams can create apps and AI agents for their workflows…
