BUILDING LAMINAR: RAMP'S MANAGED AGENTS PLATFORM

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

Laminar is an in-house agent harness for Ramp's agentic products. It features secure conversation history storage, session compaction, standard interfaces for tool calling, message queuing and steering, subagents, multiplayer chat support, observability tooling, and much more. The first version of Laminar was built in six weeks with a small team of obsessive, experienced engineers who worked with and steered the agents. Its code was generated entirely by agents using the most powerful models available at the time. While building in-house has become cheaper, Ramp still needs good engineers to be on-call, keep the platform healthy, and figure out what product teams actually need and how it fits into the bigger picture.
