AI developer tools and product collaboration

SpecStory

SpecStory builds tools that preserve the reasoning behind AI-assisted software development and connect product conversations to implementation. Its SpecStory extensions and CLI save coding sessions as searchable local Markdown, supporting tools including Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code and Codex. Optional SpecStory Cloud adds synchronization and search across projects. Its Stoa workspace brings live transcription, decision capture, collaborative editing and sandboxed Claude Code agents into product meetings, letting teams draft specifications and build from shared project context.

Founded in 2024 by Jake Levirne, CEO, Sean Johnson, CTO, and Greg Ceccarelli, CPO, the company centers its work on preserving human intent alongside generated code. Its original Cursor extension made conversations persistent and versionable within project files. Lore extends that approach by mining saved sessions for demonstrated workflows, successful actions and working conventions, then turning that evidence into reusable agent skills that users approve.

In 2026, the company reported 200K+ installs for SpecStory. Its CLI and extensions are free, and Cloud offers a free tier. Stoa is available as a macOS beta, with commercial access priced at $5 per hour, including agents and participants without separate seat or token fees.
