Dev struggles to position Kody: is it 'npm for AI skills' or 'Notion for agents'?
DavidWells · x · 2026-09-20
Developer David Wells reviewed a demo of Kody, whose skill-sharing feature completes a task in about a minute. But he argues the demo's line 'that's just one of the many things you can do' exposes the core problem: unclear positioning.
- He questions why you'd need Kody over claude/codex plus rsync'd skills
- He tries taglines like 'Kody is the npm for re-usable AI skills' or 'Notion for your AI agents,' and dislikes both because the product seems to do everything
The post captures a common pain point in the AI tooling space: broad capability without a sharp identity.
