AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 25, 2026 (Globe Newswire) — As artificial intelligence begins to redefine how software is created and maintained, startups path today announced the launch of an AI-native software platform designed to help enterprises build, operate, and continuously evolve their own applications through intelligent agents.
The company is emerging from Launch (Cohort 35)an accelerator founded by entrepreneurs and investors Jason Calacanishost of This Week in Startups and co-host of the All-In podcast. Path has refined its vision of so-called regenerative software, systems that are designed to adapt and improve with the business, rather than remaining fixed after deployment.
Path aims to address a growing gap in the software market. While AI dramatically accelerates code generation, organizations still struggle to translate the output of AI into operational systems that are secure, deployable, and maintainable.
“AI can generate code, but businesses don’t need code; they need results,” he said. billy craftCo-founder and CEO of Path. “We’re building an infrastructure where the software becomes a living system that evolves with the organizations that use it.”
Beyond SaaS: Evolving software
For decades, companies have relied on SaaS tools that force workflows into predefined structures. Path is positioning itself as part of a broader industry shift from static applications to adaptive software environments powered by AI agents.
Instead of purchasing separate tools for CRM, analytics, internal dashboards, or automation, Path allows organizations to generate and modify custom systems directly on their production infrastructure.
Users can:
-
Generate full-stack applications using AI agents
-
Deploy websites and internal tools instantly
-
Manage authentication, database, and hosting on a unified platform
-
Continuously update software through conversational and agent-driven workflows
The platform combines modern cloud infrastructure with an agent execution model designed to work directly against live systems.
“Most AI development tools stop at generating files,” he said. Patrick Hubbard, Path Co-Founder and CTO. “We built Path so that the agent works within the runtime itself, which means it understands the context and can safely modify the system.”
Build from real-world digital transformation
Path’s origins date back to Kraft’s consulting work helping small businesses across Texas modernize their operations. After repeatedly encountering fragmented software stacks and expensive implementation cycles, the team began developing internal tools that eventually evolved into the Path platform.
