# David Hurley — Full Reference

> Founder, builder, researcher. Building the runtime, company context, and web infrastructure beneath AI agents.

## Bio

David Hurley is the builder behind Punk, Pantasso, and Plasmate: the adaptive runtime, governed company context, and agent-readable web beneath AI agents. Previously founded Mautic, the first open source marketing automation platform, which grew to millions of installations before being acquired by Acquia in 2019. Participates in the W3C Web Content for Browser and AI Community Group.

## Current season: coding (August 2026)

The current season is concentrated implementation: turning the agent infrastructure thesis into durable, production-ready systems. Punk and Pantasso remain in sustained production hardening; July became the busiest recorded private contribution month at 3,927, moving the private rank from #1,769 on July 17 to #1,285 on August 1. The contribution rank is volatile and remains an activity signal rather than a customer, revenue, or research-outcome claim.

## Current operating stack

### Punk — adaptive runtime

Punk observes expensive repetition, proves cheaper execution paths against evidence, governs risky actions, and preserves the live model as fallback.

- David Hurley profile: https://dbhurley.com/startups/punk

### Pantasso — governed company context

Pantasso turns approved chats, documents, files, and business systems into cited answers, canonical records, honest gaps, and scoped access.

### Plasmate — agent-readable web

Plasmate compiles pages into a Semantic Object Model so agents can work with structure, intent, and affordances instead of raw HTML and pixels.

- Website: https://plasmate.app
- David Hurley profile: https://dbhurley.com/startups/plasmate

Retained Plasmate evidence: the v0.5.1 non-JavaScript public-web snapshot recorded a 9.98x median serialized-byte ratio over 83 successful inputs from 98 attempted URLs; the JavaScript-enabled snapshot recorded 9.32x over 82 successful inputs from 98 attempted URLs. These are historical byte ratios, not universal token, cost, latency, memory, or task-success results.
