AI loop engineering for GTM: how you build an autonomous revenue engine

Loop engineering came out of coding agents, where the verifier is free. Revenue doesn't have one. This is how to build the missing verifier, in the order that turns a pile of agents into an autonomous GTM engine.

GTM as Code: Run Your Go-to-Market as Software

GTM as Code is the practice of running your revenue engine as version-controlled software: data models, enrichment, scoring, plays, and AI agents defined in code, reviewed as diffs, deployed with one command. The complete definition, the primitives, and how to start.

Max

GTM software was built for humans. Agents are the new users.

Every GTM tool of the last decade assumed a person clicking a UI. Agents don't click. They need infrastructure: data models, tools, plays, agents, and context, as primitives defined in code.
