Applied AI R&D · Part of Team DrstiThe R&D lab building Drsti.
CloudFunnel is the applied-research and engineering arm of Team Drsti. We design and build Drsti — governed, multi-tenant AI — and pressure-test how AI should actually build software. We run the hard parts on ourselves first.
How we work
One AI writes the code. A different AI reviews it.
Everything we build runs on the same discipline: explicit intent before code, gated steps, and a cross-model review where the model that checks the work is not the model that wrote it. A model reviewing its own output has the same blind spots that produced it. That's how AI-generated code earns its way into a security-critical product — and it's the thread that runs through everything below.
What we build & research
Our research and our product are the same work. We build Drsti in the open with these three threads — and what we learn building it is the lab's real output.
What we build
Governed, multi-tenant AI
Drsti Studio is our primary build — governed, tenant-isolated AI execution with policy controls, audit trails, and human approval gates. It is where our research meets production.
- Tenant isolation by design
- Policy controls & audit trails
- Human-in-the-loop approvals
How we build it
Cross-model adversarial review
One model writes the code; a different model reviews it cold against the spec with a hostile checklist. It is the discipline that lets AI-generated code earn its way into a security-critical product.
- Implementer and reviewer differ
- Hunts security & tenant-isolation bugs
- Caught before merge, not after
What we research
AI-augmented SDLC
We pressure-test how AI should actually build software — gated spec → plan → implement, tiered rigor, and the operating model that keeps speed from costing correctness. We run it on ourselves first.
- Gated spec → plan → implement
- Tiered rigor by risk
- Proven on our own codebase
We build it before we believe it
We don't research AI from slides. The operating model and the review discipline we rely on are the ones we use to build real, multi-tenant, security-critical software today — with AI doing much of the implementation under a disciplined review structure. When something doesn't survive contact with production, it doesn't ship.
