Odapt: The AI Tool That Lets Teams Build Internal Software Without Code

Ksenia Yevtushenko -

In most modern companies, internal tooling is a silent crisis. Marketing teams rely on engineers to generate campaign reports. Operations staff wait weeks for custom dashboards. Finance departments struggle to extract data from disconnected systems. The result? Workflows stitched together with spreadsheets, rigid SaaS tools, and brittle no-code solutions that aren’t truly integrated.

The startup Odapt, founded in 2025 and part of Y Combinator’s Spring 2025 batch, addresses this pain directly. Their platform allows any team—operations, marketing, finance, and more—to build AI-powered internal tools and agentic workflows using plain English, without writing a single line of code.

The old model of internal software depended on overstretched engineering teams. Odapt flips that model on its head, letting domain experts—those closest to the problem—take control.

How Does Odapt Work?

At its core, Odapt combines AI agents with seamless system integrations. It connects a company’s existing apps and databases into one centralized interface. This gives the platform the "cross-system awareness" that most tools lack.

Users can simply prompt Odapt in natural language:

  • “Create a dashboard that shows weekly marketing spend by region.”
  • “Automate a report of candidates who passed interviews in the last month.”
  • “Summarize sales performance by SDR from Salesforce and HubSpot data.”

Odapt’s AI understands these instructions, pulls relevant data from connected sources, and instantly creates tools that would normally take engineers days or weeks to prototype.

For technical users, a “Dev Mode” toggle offers the ability to directly edit the code that powers the tools. This hybrid model means Odapt can scale from non-technical users to developers within the same platform.

Who Can Use Odapt and What Are the Use Cases?

Odapt is designed for operators, marketers, and finance professionals—anyone in a company who needs customized, responsive tooling but doesn’t want to wait in a development queue.

Here are some real-world examples:

  • Recruiting Ops: Build and maintain candidate pipelines, automate status updates, and generate hiring funnel reports.
  • Sales Enablement: Create real-time dashboards from Salesforce, Notion, and Airtable; monitor conversions; and automatically generate reports for leadership.
  • Marketing Analytics: Unify data across campaigns and channels into live dashboards, without needing an engineer to wrangle multiple APIs.
  • Finance and RevOps: Extract transactional data across systems, automate budget comparisons, and build internal audit workflows.

In every scenario, Odapt replaces spreadsheet hacks and “shadow IT” tools with robust, integrated software built by the team that needs it.

What Is the Vision Behind Odapt?

Odapt’s founders believe in a simple but revolutionary idea: software should be built by the people who use it. Historically, the separation between the builders (engineers) and the users (operators) has slowed innovation inside companies.

By giving domain experts the tools to turn their ideas into working software, Odapt is democratizing access to software development. It’s not about replacing developers—it’s about unlocking the creative and problem-solving potential of every team member.

The end result is a tenfold increase in the number of builders inside organizations—and a radically faster feedback loop between tool creators and users.

Who Are the Founders Behind Odapt?

Odapt’s team of three blends deep technical expertise with real-world operational insight.

  • Lucas Negritto, a creative engineer and product mind, worked on code generation at OpenAI and previously bootstrapped a startup to $1M in ARR. His background gives Odapt its AI-first backbone and a sharp eye for product usability.
  • Ende, a seasoned AI engineer, deployed safety-critical AI software across more than 20 million mobile devices and was a researcher at Stanford’s NLP lab. His expertise ensures that Odapt’s AI agents are not only powerful but also reliable and safe for enterprise use.
  • Madhav Mohan, the business operations brain of the trio, is a former McKinsey consultant and founding BizOps lead at a high-growth recruiting startup. His experience scaling organizations and designing operational workflows gives Odapt a uniquely practical edge.

Together, they’re building a product born out of lived frustration and professional insight—a combination that often defines the most impactful startups.

How Is Odapt Different from No-Code and Low-Code Platforms?

Odapt enters a crowded market of productivity tools, but it stands out in several key ways:

  • Natural Language Interface: Users don’t build with blocks or drag-and-drop UIs—they just write what they want in English.
  • Integrated Agents: Odapt isn’t just a builder; it comes with AI agents that act on behalf of the user. These agents can generate summaries, trigger workflows, or take actions based on real-time data.
  • Cross-System Awareness: While no-code tools often work within one system (like Airtable or Notion), Odapt intelligently integrates multiple data sources and APIs.
  • Developer Optionality: Most tools ignore developers entirely or offer clunky APIs. Odapt’s “Dev Mode” makes it friendly to engineers who want precision control.

In short, Odapt is not just for building dashboards—it’s for creating living, responsive internal software that actually reflects how teams operate in practice.

Why Now? What Makes 2025 the Right Time for Odapt?

Several trends converge to make Odapt particularly timely in 2025:

  • LLM and Agentic AI Maturity: With widespread adoption of large language models and autonomous agents, AI is finally capable of understanding and executing complex multi-system workflows.
  • SaaS Bloat and Integration Fatigue: Companies are drowning in dozens of SaaS tools. Odapt offers a unifying layer that connects these systems, making work less fragmented.
  • Workforce Empowerment: More companies are looking for ways to empower non-technical teams to solve their own problems, reducing dependency on limited engineering bandwidth.

The pain points are old, but the tools to solve them are finally new.

What’s Next for Odapt?

As of mid-2025, Odapt is actively onboarding teams looking to supercharge their internal operations. Their roadmap includes:

  • Expanded App Integrations across enterprise systems (like NetSuite, Workday, and Zendesk)
  • Smarter Agent Capabilities that can handle branching logic and conditional triggers
  • Collaboration Features for team-based tool creation and sharing
  • Enterprise Security and Compliance features to make Odapt a trusted internal tool in regulated industries

They are also building a community of “internal tool creators”—operators and business users who want to share templates, collaborate on ideas, and push what’s possible with no-code AI-powered software.

How Can Companies Get Started with Odapt?

Odapt is currently available to early adopters via their website, with onboarding designed for non-technical users. Teams can start small—automating one workflow or building a single dashboard—and expand as they see value.

For forward-thinking companies, Odapt represents a new paradigm: software isn’t something you wait for—it’s something you make. And with Odapt, anyone can be a maker.
