Terse

AI Workflows as Code.

A code-first AI workflow platform for developers and coding agents.
Connect your tools, generate a typed SDK from your workspace, and deploy serverless workflows that mix deterministic tool calls with agentic loops.

Why Terse

AI agents are fast to build but make mistakes. Deterministic workflows are reliable but slow to set up. Terse lets you mix both in the same workflow: call tools directly when you need precision, hand off to an agent when you need judgment.

• Code-first. Workflows are TypeScript in your repo. Review them in PRs, track them in git history.
• Typed SDK from your workspace. terse generate generates strongly-typed handles for the channels, repos, projects, and tools you actually use, so the LLM (and your IDE) only sees what's in scope.
• Mix tools and agents. Call a tool deterministically when you know what you want. Hand off to an agent when you need judgment. Same workflow, same types.
• Scoped skills, no surprises. Tool access is bounded by the skills you declare. The agent can't reach outside that scope. No more catastrophic deletions caused by hallucinations.
• Secrets and OAuth, handled. Integration credentials live in Terse's secret manager (using Google Secret Manager) with automatic OAuth refresh.
• Serverless deploys. terse deploy ships your workflows to Terse's hosted runtime. Every run is logged with a complete action trail.
