SkipLabs joins @raisesummit 2026 as an Official Partner. Founded by the team behind Meta’s Hack type system and the Skip programming language, SkipLabs is building a new category of AI infrastructure focused on one core problem: software generation has accelerated dramatically, but software verification has not. Its flagship product, Skipper, is a closed-loop AI coding agent designed to generate, analyze, correct, and verify production software before deployment. While most AI coding tools stop at generation and rely on developers to debug and validate outputs manually, Skipper combines AI generation with static analysis, incremental verification, and deterministic execution to enforce correctness at the system level. Rather than acting as a standalone sandbox or autocomplete assistant, Skipper integrates directly into existing engineering workflows. Developers can provide repositories, pull requests, or formal specifications, while the system iterates automatically until software is verified and ship-ready. Built on SkipLabs’ philosophy of continuous systems, Skipper reflects a shift away from static code toward continuously evolving infrastructure — where verification, adaptation, and trust are built directly into the execution layer itself. Designed for API infrastructure, developer tooling, enterprise systems, and other high-stakes environments, SkipLabs is helping define the infrastructure layer behind trustworthy AI-generated software. This July 8–9 at the Carrousel du Louvre, SkipLabs joins the companies shaping the future of intelligent systems.
