About Leapter

A New Visual Language for Business Logic

For forty years, business logic has lived inside code, a format written for machines, not for the people accountable for the rules. AI did not fix that. It made it urgent.

Leapter is building the visual language that finally closes the gap: visual, literate, deterministic, and generated by AI.

We have shipped this category before

Leapter was founded by Oliver Welte and Robert Werner, who bring decades of experience with visual business rules and regulated decisioning, starting in enterprise banking. Leapter is built by a team that has shipped this category to regulated buyers before, visual logic that domain experts could read and regulated institutions could run.

What is different now is the collaborator. An LLM can draft the first version, so the human work shifts from authoring syntax to verifying intent. That shift is the entire opportunity.

AI changed who can build software. It did not change who can verify it.

When AI builds a user interface, you can see the result. When AI builds business logic, pricing, underwriting, eligibility, compliance, the output is code. The people accountable for those rules cannot read it. They judge the outcome, not the reasoning. That gap is now the bottleneck for enterprise AI adoption.

A language both humans and AI can read

In 1984, Donald Knuth proposed literate programming: software written for humans first, computers second. The idea never took hold, the overhead that killed it in the 1980s is exactly what LLMs do well.

Leapter turns that idea into a working product. Describe a rule in plain language, and AI drafts it as a Blueprint, the business logic itself, made visual and executable. The Blueprint format was designed from day one to be generated, read, and refined by AI, not retrofitted onto formats that predate LLMs. The rules that run the business are no longer hidden behind code, but written in a form both can read, refine, and trust.

Why now

Three forces converge on the same gap

AI writes the implementation

More business logic is drafted by machines every quarter. The people who own that logic need a way to read, test, and change what was generated, without becoming programmers.

Agents need governed decisions

Agent stacks are reaching into consequential decisions: lending, claims, eligibility. An agent can gather context, but the decision itself has to be deterministic, approved, and traceable.

Regulators scrutinize automated decisions

Automated decisions face growing scrutiny, and in the EU that scrutiny comes with statutory deadlines. Organizations need evidence: which logic ran, which version was approved, and why a case came out the way it did.

Agentic when you build. Deterministic when it runs.

This is not a roadmap pitch. The product ships today

Where the Blueprint goes next

Leapter started with decision logic because that is where the verification problem is sharpest. The Blueprint extends naturally to processes, forms, and full applications, anywhere AI generates logic that someone needs to own.

The Blueprint is the durable advantage. The category, AI-native, inspectable implementations of business logic, is being defined now.

The team

Oliver Welte

CEO / Founder
Enterprises won’t run “vibe code” in production. End of story. I help big complex companies navigate technology change the right way and I’m excited to help them seize the GenAI opportunity.

Robert Werner

CTO / Founder
I have spent my career delighting developers with internal platforms that reduce cognitive load. Today that cognitive load is coming from the sprawl of AI generated code – I want to help solve this problem.
