The take

effort: ~3+ months

Mitte.ai is an AI creative suite, an 'agentic OS for creative teams,' based in Berlin and hiring for multiple engineering and growth roles. It aims to provide tools for creative teams to leverage AI in their workflows, implying a robust platform with various AI-powered creative agents or features. The product is still in a hiring phase, indicating it's early stage but well-funded.

The gap in what exists: While many AI creative tools exist, a truly 'agentic OS' that intelligently automates complex multi-step creative workflows (beyond simple generation) with robust brand control remains an area of active development, where integration and orchestration are key.
Wedge to win: Target small creative agencies and in-house marketing teams with a focused agent that automates a painful, repetitive creative task, like 'on-brand social media post generation' that goes from concept to publish-ready assets.
Reputation value (worth doing free for proof) — 70/100: Building an early version of a genuinely 'agentic' creative workflow, even for a niche, would be a strong portfolio piece demonstrating advanced AI orchestration and product thinking for future B2B AI opportunities.

Deliver it

A starter prompt for Claude Code, what you'll need, and how to reach them.

You are an expert full-stack developer. Build an MVP of an 'AI Agentic OS for Creative Teams' with a focus on 'on-brand social media post generation'. The core functionality should allow a user to input a text prompt, brand guidelines (colors, fonts, logo position), and target social media platform, then generate a series of unique, visually consistent social media posts (image + text) with minimal user intervention. Use Next.js 16 App Router, React 19, Tailwind v4, and AI SDK v6 with Gemini for text generation and a stable diffusion API (e.g., Stability AI) for image generation. Store generated assets and project details in Neon Postgres. The MVP should include: 1. A simple dashboard for creating new 'social media campaigns'. 2. A form to input text prompt, upload brand assets (logo, mood board), and define basic brand guidelines. 3. An 'agent' pipeline that orchestrates calls to Gemini for text variations and a stable diffusion API for image generation, ensuring brand consistency. 4. A 'review and approve' interface where users can view generated posts, make minor text edits, and download assets. Define the necessary database schema for campaigns, brand assets, and generated posts. Focus on clean, modular code and a responsive UI. Provide the `package.json`, key component structures, API routes, and database schema, along with instructions to run locally. Ensure all AI calls are properly handled with error states and rate limiting considerations.

How you'd build it

1Research existing 'AI creative suites' and identify underserved niches or specific agentic workflows that are complex for current tools.
2Develop a core web application (Next.js, React, Tailwind) for user management, project organization, and a canvas for creative assets.
3Integrate with various AI models (Gemini, DALL-E, Midjourney, Stable Diffusion) via their APIs to enable different creative tasks (image generation, text generation, idea brainstorming).
4Build 'agentic' workflows using a state machine or orchestration library that chain together multiple AI calls and human feedback loops for specific creative processes (e.g., 'generate 5 ad variations based on copy + brand guidelines').
5Implement a robust asset management system and version control for creative output.
6Focus on a single, high-value creative problem (e.g., 'on-brand social media content generation') as an MVP to prove the agentic concept.

Risks & moats

The 'agentic OS for creative teams' is a broad and ambitious vision, requiring deep understanding of various creative workflows and complex AI orchestration.
Competition in the AI creative tools space is intense, with many well-funded startups and large companies offering specialized solutions.
Building truly 'agentic' workflows that reliably produce high-quality, on-brand creative output requires significant prompt engineering and model fine-tuning, which can be costly and difficult.
Marketing and selling an 'OS' rather than a specific tool can be challenging, as it requires a higher degree of user commitment and workflow integration.
