Specific GTM brain

Specific provides developers and AI app builders with cloud infrastructure that coding agents can configure, run and deploy.

category

Agent-native cloud infrastructure

market profile

  • text: AI coding agents can write application code but need infrastructure and production context to deploy and maintain it.
  • text: AI app builders need to provision many isolated databases and backends as their users create projects.

personas

  • title: Technical founder or full-stack developer
    pains:
    • Agent-generated applications still require a database, deployment, secrets and monitoring
    • Local setup and production infrastructure take time away from shipping
  • title: AI app-building platform engineering lead
    pains:
    • Must provision and isolate thousands of customer backends without manual setup
    • Needs a repeatable path from generated application to deployed service
  • title: Platform or infrastructure engineer
    pains:
    • Preview environments and production debugging span multiple infrastructure tools
    • Must control cost while supporting agents that create resources

icp

  • text: Small engineering teams and technical founders using coding agents to ship full-stack applications.
  • text: AI app platforms creating large numbers of isolated application backends; Specific cites Newly as a customer.
  • text: Larger product teams with requirements for custom deployments or single sign-on are addressed by enterprise plans.

message pillars

  • text: Extend the coding agent from writing code to provisioning infrastructure.
  • text: Move quickly from new project to production.
  • text: Keep the user's preferred frameworks.

objections

  • objection: Will a single platform lock in our application?
    response: Pilot with an existing framework and assess portability of the specific services and configuration before migrating production.
  • objection: How will the bill grow with usage?
    response: Estimate compute, database and storage consumption using the published rates and included credits.
  • objection: Can agents safely make production changes?
    response: Evaluate preview environments, access controls and deployment review on a noncritical application first.

competitors
