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.
