Coder Launches Blink: The Fastest Way To Build And Deploy AI Agents

Open source solution enables developers to create, ship, and run AI agents from the terminal, without lock-in or overhead
Blink Early Access by Coder
Blink is an open-source development engine for building AI agents. It provides the complete infrastructure for building, deploying, and scaling AI agents.
AUSTIN, Texas, Oct. 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Today, Coder introduced Blink in Early Access, which will be unveiled during Cloudflare Connect. Blink is the fastest way for developers to build, ship, and run AI agents and chatbots — starting with Slack.
The demand for AI agents is surging, given their benefits in personalization and efficiency for both businesses and consumers; however, research shows that only a small fraction of in-house agent projects ever reach production status. Skillset gaps and technical obstacles, such as data integration and system complexity, can stall development or lead many organizations to abandon their agent plans altogether. Gartner warns that over 40% of agentic AI projects will be scrapped by 2027 due to high cost or execution challenges.
Coder solves this with Blink, an open source CLI for building agents, and Blink Cloud, a hosted service for deploying and sharing them across teams. Unlike existing coding assistants, it’s a full developer engine for building AI agents. It provides the complete runtime, infrastructure, and developer tools needed to build intelligent, event-driven agents that integrate directly with real-world systems. In Early Access, it supports Slack to meet developers where they are. Blink will soon support a deeper integration with GitHub and other environments.
“It’s surprisingly difficult to build and personalize even the most basic AI agents, such as a SlackBot or a GitHub code reviewer,” said Kyle Carberry, co-founder at Coder. “Blink brings AI to the tools where chat already happens and makes development simple: no complex workflow builders, just agents as code.”
Built for builders
Open source by design, Blink is built for developers who want practical agents without platform lock-in or overhead. Blink’s open-source agent development framework runs entirely from the terminal, giving developers a fast, code-first way to build and refine agents. Blink enables rapid local feedback loops that mirror the way developers already work. Users can test, adjust, and validate an agent’s behavior in real time before optionally deploying it to the cloud.
Blink was created in response to community feedback and insights gleaned from building and supporting Coder’s innovative open source and proprietary AI development infrastructure solutions. This includes the company’s flagship enterprise development environments, which already support AI and tooling workloads with GPU access, modular templates, and secure boundaries for coding agents and developers alike.
Launched on the Cloudflare Connect stage
Today, during Cloudflare’s keynote at Cloudflare Connect, Carberry will join Cloudflare CTO Dane Knecht and Principal Systems Engineer Sunil Pai to highlight how Blink can leverage Cloudflare’s global edge for performant, secure agent deployments.
What’s available now:
- Blink CLI: Build and test agents from your terminal
- Blink Cloud: Deploy and share agents across your team
- Slack support: Create bots that act and respond in Slack
Early Access is open and free to download, and feedback and contributions are encouraged. The company invites developers to join them in shaping the future of high-performance agentic software together.
