What sort of criteria do you decide or who do you talk to or how do you go about putting together that, okay, this is the next most important thing to build?

And I assume that it flows really nicely from what you just said.

Let's talk about team.

To do something like this, you've got to have the right people.

Obviously, you're one of those right people, but how do you grow your team and how do you build your team?

What do you look for in those people to indicate that they're the winning horses to join you?

Your coding agents have access to your code base.

Maybe you even connected other tools via MCPs.

But access doesn't mean context.

Agents can't reason across MCPs.

They don't know your architectural decisions, your team's patterns, or why the API was shaped the way it is.

So agents look in the wrong place and deliver bad outputs.

Then you spend time correcting.

More loops, more tokens.

Unblocked is the context layer your agents are missing.

It synthesizes your PRs, docs, Slack, and tickets into organizational context that agents actually understand.

So they make better plans, write higher quality code, use fewer tokens, and require fewer correction loops.

If you're running cloud code, cursor, or any agentic workflow, Unblocked is worth a look.
