AgentRel — Devrel For Agents

Manicule does AgentRel. We get companies discovered and used by AI agents. Think DevRel, rebuilt for a world where agents make all the decisions. We own developer documentation and technical content across social channels, end-to-end. We've grown 100% MoM over the last three months to $53K in monthly revenue, with customers like Supermemory, Greptile, Reducto, and Mastra. Getting discovered and used by agents is its own job now, and the market for it is broken. The SEO/GEO SaaS tools just show you data like where you rank in AI answers. The agencies are slow and lack know-how with agents. The one person who could own all of it end-to-end, a DevRel, is nearly impossible to hire: our customers have had roles open for months at $300K+ and still can't find anyone good. We solve all these gaps. Naman has been doing fractional DevRel since he was 13, working with companies like PromptLayer, Brightdata, and Courier.com. Shreyans has been building since 14 — he built an AI app that hit App Store Productivity Trending within a month, and was the founding engineer at Supermemory. We met in high school and have built multiple startups together since.
