Transform Your Business with .do: Build & Deploy Agentic APIs in Minutes

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, businesses need to be agile, interconnected, and efficient. Transforming complex internal workflows into accessible, reusable software services is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. This is where the concept of Business-as-Code and Services-as-Software comes into play, and it's exactly what the .do platform is designed for.

.do is an AI-powered Agentic Workflow Platform built to help you transform your business into APIs. Imagine taking your core operational processes – customer onboarding, order fulfillment, data analysis, decision-making – and turning them into powerful, programmable building blocks that can be easily integrated into other systems, automated, and scaled. That's the power of .do.

What is an Agentic Workflow Platform?

At its core, .do simplifies the creation and management of sophisticated workflows. It supports agentic behavior, meaning the software you build can act autonomously and intelligently based on your defined logic and data. This makes complex processes efficient and highly adaptable. Think of it as giving your business processes the ability to make intelligent decisions and take action based on real-time information.

Business-as-Code: Your Operations, Defined as Code

The principle of Business-as-Code is central to the .do platform. Instead of relying on manual processes or rigid, hard-to-change systems, you define your business processes, rules, and logic directly within your source code. This brings immense benefits:

  • Version Control: Track changes to your business logic just like you would with any software project.
  • Automation: Automate the testing, deployment, and execution of your business processes.
  • Scalability: Easily scale your operations as your business grows.
  • Collaboration: Enable developers and domain experts to collaborate effectively on defining and refining business processes.

.do provides the tools and environment to help you embrace this principle, allowing you to write, test, and deploy your business operations as code.

Services-as-Software: Exposing Your Capabilities as APIs

The outcome of adopting Business-as-Code on the .do platform is Services-as-Software. This means your internal business functions and workflows are transformed into reusable, accessible software services, typically exposed as APIs or SDKs.

This transformation unlocks a world of possibilities:

  • Easier Integration: Connect your internal processes with external applications, partners, and customers seamlessly.
  • Enhanced Automation: Automate end-to-end workflows by orchestrating different internal and external services.
  • Accelerated Innovation: Build new products and services faster by leveraging existing business capabilities exposed as software.
  • Increased Efficiency: Streamline operations and reduce manual effort.

.do makes this transformation effortless. By defining your business logic as 'Agents', the platform automatically handles the complexity of exposing these Agents as APIs, making your internal capabilities accessible and integrable.

Transforming Processes with .do: Agents in Action

How does .do help you achieve this? The platform centers around the concept of Agents. An Agent is a self-contained unit of business logic that can automate tasks, make decisions, and interact with other systems. You define these agents using code, specifying their behavior and inputs/outputs.

Once you've defined an Agent, deploying it on the .do platform is straightforward. The platform then automatically makes your Agent accessible as a programmable service.

Here's a simplified look at how you might create an Agent using code with the .do platform:

interface CreateAgentInput {
  name: string;
  description: string;
  code: string; // The agent's business logic
}

interface Agent {
  id: string;
  name: string;
  description: string;
}

async function createAgent(input: CreateAgentInput): Promise<Agent> {
  // API call to .do platform
  const response = await fetch('https://api.dotdo.dev/agents', {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    body: JSON.stringify(input)
  });
  if (!response.ok) {
    throw new Error('Failed to create agent');
  }
  return response.json();
}

This brief Typescript example illustrates how easily you can interact with the .do platform to define and create your Agents programmatically. The code field would contain the actual business logic that your Agent will execute.

Do Anything. Agents.

The power of .do lies in its ability to enable you to "Do Anything" by leveraging the intelligence and automation of Agents. Whether you need to automate customer support responses, process financial transactions, manage inventory, or orchestrate complex data pipelines, you can encapsulate that logic within an Agent and deploy it on the .do platform.

By transforming your business processes into agentic software, you unlock a new level of agility, efficiency, and innovation. .do provides the AI-powered platform to make this transformation a reality, allowing you to build, deploy, and manage these powerful agents and workflows with ease. Start your journey to becoming a Services-as-Software driven organization today with .do.
