Tier B · TL;DR
This is what happened when we stopped fighting how LLMs think

Claim

3x faster. 67% fewer tokens. Dramatically more reliable This is what happened when we stopped fighting how LLMs think. 10,000+ developers used our API to build AI-generated interfaces over the past year.

Mechanism

Projects like Vercel's json-render & Google A2UI showed that separating structure from design was the right idea. But JSON itself was the bottleneck. So we built a format that works the way models actually think.

Conditions

Holds when: the operating context matches the post's stated frame (team shape, stage, tooling, buyer type).

Fails when: the practice is lifted into a different stage or buyer context without reworking the underlying mechanism.

Evidence

"This is what happened when we stopped fighting how LLMs think."
