YarnAI — the AI-native method for shipping better digital products, faster.

YarnAI is how Loomery teams put senior product, design and engineering judgement in charge of AI agents, end to end, so clients get speed without losing control of what ships.

Everyone's using AI. Almost nobody's changed how they work.

✕

Unstructured AI usage

  • ✕

    AI gains stay stuck with whoever's using it, they never show up in delivery speed.

  • ✕

    The plan, the review and the accountability still run on the old operating model.

  • ✕

    Nobody senior trusts the output enough to skip the old checks anyway.

  • ✕

    More AI tools, but not a faster or safer team.

✓

With YarnAI

  • ✓

    Warp and Heddle put the same context and skills in front of the whole team, so gains compound.

  • ✓

    Senior product, design and engineering judgement directs every agent output, end to end.

  • ✓

    Guardrails and evaluations earn trust before agents get more autonomy.

  • ✓

    A team restructured around what agents are good at, with senior makers owning the outcome.

Loomery's proprietary method for AI and agents

YarnAI is Loomery's method for running AI agents across a whole project, not just inside a code editor, putting senior judgement in charge of what agents draft so clients get speed without losing control of what ships. Six parts make up the stack; Warp, Heddle and Bobbin, named after parts of a loom, are the core of it.

WARP

A queryable project brain

Every project's real documentation, decisions, constraints and code, pulled into one shared, version-controlled place, so agents and people work from the same source.

Heddle

A centralised home for skills

Where verified, reusable AI skills live, so a good pattern on one project shows up on the next instead of being reinvented from scratch.

Bobbin

Loomery's best-practice agent

Puts Loomery's hard-won knowledge and standards a question away, so the method holds even when the person running a project is new to the team.

Packages of instruction & code

A growing library inside Heddle covering discovery standards, delivery fundamentals and engineering patterns, for use by people and agents, ready to adapt to your organisational context.

Methodology

Our AI-native processes & workflow

A set of rules and steps we've codified for how people and agents work together: always name an owner, always show the reasoning, never ship what nobody reviewed.

Accelerators icon
Accelerators

Re-usable artefacts

Prompt libraries, architecture scaffolds, test templates and decision frameworks, so that we can quickly spin up agents, plus the watchouts we've learned the hard way: where agents overreach and where review can't be skipped.

Warp · the project brain

A closer look at how Warp turns scattered tools into one shared, working context, kept current automatically.

Ingests from your tools

  • Context, decisions and what has changed since last time

  • Connected via MCP to the tools you already use

  • Kept current as a side-effect of working, not a doc someone has to maintain

  • Connect a source, like a Slack channel

  • Ask the project brain a question

  • Get an answer that cites where it came from

The principles behind YarnAI

Judgement directs, AI executes

AI accelerates the first 70% of the work. Craft and judgement own the last 30%, the part a model can't bring.

Guardrails before autonomy, every output earns trust

Tests, CI and static analysis come before agent freedom. We review the commits, not the summary, and bin mediocre work rather than ship it.

Codify context, don't just prompt

Standards and decisions get written down as machine-readable context, so agents and teammates act on them reliably instead of everyone re-explaining from scratch.

Evidence over vibes

We validate with real evals, not gut feel, treat agents as a genuine trust and security surface, and stay cost-aware about what's earning its keep.

Where YarnAI fits in the SDLC

YarnAI runs through every stage of a project, not just when the code gets written. At each stage, agents produce the first version of a thing and a Loomer owns the decision to put it live.

Discover stage icon

Discover

Agents create: research synthesis, competitor scans, opportunity maps.

Loomer owns: which problem is actually worth solving.

Design stage icon

Design

Agents create: architecture options, prototype variants.

Loomer owns: the trade-offs that decide direction.

Build stage icon

Build

Agents create: code, first-pass documentation.

Loomer owns: what actually gets merged.

Test & review stage icon

Test & review

Agents create: test suites, security and quality checks.

Loomer owns: sign-off and accountability.

Ship stage icon

Ship

Agents create: release notes, deployment checks.

Loomer owns: the call to go, and the fallback.

Learn stage icon

Learn

Agents create: usage analysis, what changed.

Loomer owns: what happens next, fed back into Warp.

Our AI maturity framework

We use this framework across Loomery to make sure YarnAI stays embedded as capability grows, whatever stage a team is starting from. We help clients apply the same framework to their own teams.

Level 01

Co-pilot / chat

  • Give context each time
  • Use for Q&A
  • Discrete tasks

Copilot, Claude etc. · Gemini in Docs, Granola Chat

Level 02

Repeatable tasks

  • Shared, saved context

  • ✓

    Directs the agents drafting inside your codebase, day to day

  • ✓

    Brings senior product and design judgement into your existing team

  • ✓

    Ships alongside your team, inside your systems and your sprints

BEST WHENYou've already got the wider team in place and want the method and the judgement, not extra headcount.

YarnAI enablement

Loomery sets up YarnAI, the tool stack and the methodology, inside your organisation, and trains your team to run it themselves.

  • ✓

    Stand up the tool stack, workflows and guardrails inside your organisation

  • ✓

    Train your team to run YarnAI's method themselves

  • ✓

    Hand over a repeatable way of working, not a one-off project

BEST WHENThe goal is building the capability in-house, not renting it.

Agentic pod

A full Loomery team, product counsel, multiple product pairs, and a 24/7 agent fleet, runs YarnAI end to end: strategy, design, build, and launch.

  • ✓

    End-to-end ownership, strategy through launch, not just a slice of it

  • ✓

    Multiple product pairs plus a 24/7 agent fleet at your disposal

  • ✓

    Product counsel on call, guiding the judgement calls throughout

BEST WHENYou need the whole thing built at pace and don't have the team in place yet.
