A coding agent, maturing fast
Pier is built by Alphabench: a coding agent that lives in your terminal, powered by sovereign Indian models.
A coding agent is mostly harness. The model is the engine, but the car is everything else: the editing tools, the system prompts, the loop that decides what to do next and feeds the last step into the next. Get that right and a cheap, home-grown model punches well above its price.
Pier is that harness, built on Sarvam, India's sovereign model. It is the affordable, Bharat-native engine that powers everyday work, trained and hosted in Bharat rather than rented from a frontier US lab. It reads your repository the way you would, plans with discipline, and keeps you in control at every step. See the kind of work people hand it on the use cases page, or what a finished job actually costs on cost per task.
And it is improving recursively: we build Pier with Pier Code, so every gain compounds into the next. This is not a finished product frozen in place. It is a rapidly maturing one, getting sharper with every release, as you can follow on the changelog. All of it starts at five dollars a month.
Mostly harness
A coding agent is the engineering around the model: the tools, the prompts, the loop that turns a cheap token into reliable work. We make the harness punch far above its price.
Bharat-native by default
Sarvam, India's sovereign model, powers the affordable, home-grown agent. Built and hosted in Bharat, not rented from a frontier US lab. Right model for the job.
Recursively self-improving
We build Pier with Pier. Every improvement to the agent compounds into the next, so the product matures faster than we could ship by hand.
