Software often breaks in translation.
The business explains. Product rewrites. Engineering interprets.

Leapter fixes the loop — turning business intent into visual, human-verifiable blueprints everyone can trust.

What Is Leapter? - Leapter

Leapter reimagines how software gets built—turning business intent into visual, auditable logic that’s generated by AI and trusted by humans.

AI tools can write code—but can you trust it?

Speed means nothing if you can’t see the logic.

Leapter makes AI output visible, auditable, and human-verifiable—so teams move fast and trust what they ship.

Big leaps in software come from clarity, not just code. 🐸

Leapter makes business logic visual & verifiable—so teams can trust what they ship.

The myth of AI code gen:
🚫 Hallucinations aren’t going away
🚫 “Faster” now means slower later in validation

At Leapter, trust comes first: visible, verifiable blueprints → production code.

🎥 Oliver Welte explains.

What if “human in the loop” meant the business user—not just the developer?

Leapter makes it possible for domain experts to validate system logic early. Trust, built in.

Leapter @leapter.bsky.social · 28d

“Humans in the loop” shouldn’t just mean devs cleaning up AI code.

At Leapter, we make it possible for domain experts to validate the logic, too—because they own the intent.

Leapter @leapter.bsky.social · Sep 16

AI coding tools promise speed. What they miss? Trust.

Leapter generates visual, verifiable blueprints so teams can validate early and ship systems they actually trust.

Speed without trust isn’t progress. It’s rework.

Every startup begins with a moment of clarity. ✨

For Robert Werner & Oliver Welte, it was realizing AI code tools promised magic—but left teams with mistrust.

Leapter isn’t another code generator. It’s a visual, AI-native way to turn intent into systems teams can trust.

When our investor Frank Stummer was asked what stood out about Leapter, his answer was clear: market need + security by design.

With Leapter, trust and security aren’t bolted on later; they’re built in from the start.

“Prompt and pray” coding fails when no one owns the result.

Leapter makes system logic visual and shared so teams can trust what they build.

And here’s our perspective on why trust, not speed alone, is what matters:

The dangerous vibes powering VCs' favorite startup category - PitchBook

'Vibe coding' lets anyone spin up an app in plain English. But recent security incidents suggest speed may be outpacing security as investors pour billions into the trend.

Leapter @leapter.bsky.social · Sep 3

PitchBook asked if AI startups run on dangerous vibes more than real outcomes.

That’s exactly why we founded Leapter. The bottleneck isn’t writing code. It’s trusting the logic behind it.

The future isn’t vibes. It’s systems you can explain, verify & ship with confidence.

Every handoff in software development adds drift. By the time it ships, the feature may be technically correct, but wrong in practice.

That’s the translation tax.

Leapter makes the logic visible and shared so teams build faster, with confidence.

Oliver Welte on why big companies hesitate with GenAI code: it’s about trust. LLMs can’t guarantee quality. Enterprises need humans in the loop.

AI won’t close the trust gap on its own.

Teams will––by demanding transparency, collaboration, and verifiable logic.

Leapter turns the black box into a glass box: systems you can understand and trust.

Theo put it best: “The hard part is not writing the code. The hard part is making sure everyone understands what the code should do.”

The biggest bottleneck in software development is not code. It's alignment.

When logic lives in tickets, docs, and chats, teams ship what survived translation instead of what was intended.

Some AI-generated code looks perfect…until it isn’t.
