Build a platform developers love.

MarkedUp is an independent consultancy focused on one thing: Making developer-facing products easier to use for humans and AI agents.

"As far as the customer is concerned, the interface is the product."

Jef Raskin, The Humane Interface (2000)

The cost of doing nothing

39% of developers say confusing docs are their biggest roadblock to API adoption, and only 24% of APIs are being designed with AI agents in mind.

Poorly designed developer platforms lead directly to reduced activation, lost revenue, and frustrated developers. Your platform can do better.
