Build Self-ware that actually works
Anable gives you and your teams the skills and tools to move from raw AI agents to reliable workflows — and bring them together as real apps that work for you.
Flexible & Judgmental
AI agents reason, adapt, and make decisions. Powerful — but unpredictable without the right guidance.
Deterministic & Reliable
Structured workflows bring order to agents — consistent steps, guardrails, and predictable outputs every time.
Empowering & Purposeful
Combine agents and workflows into apps that truly work for your users — not just demos, but production-ready tools.
/əˈneɪ.bəl/ verb
To empower people and teams with the skills and tools to build selfware — moving from raw AI agents that are flexible but unpredictable, through structured workflows that are deterministic and reliable, into real applications that work specifically for you.
Not just AI access. AI that works — for your context, your team, your goals.
selfware noun
Personal applications built with AI that do exactly what you need — no over-featured software, no bloat, no compromises. Selfware fits around your workflow, not the other way around.
The opposite of SaaS that does 80% of what you want. Selfware does 100% of what you want.
What is a Skills file?
When you connect an MCP server to an AI agent, the agent knows the tool exists — but not how to use it well. It might call the wrong endpoint, format output poorly, or miss important guardrails.
A Skills file is a structured markdown document you add to your AI project context. It tells the agent:
- Which MCP tools to use and when
- The exact workflow to follow, step by step
- What guardrails to apply (auth, rate limits, data hygiene)
- How to format its output for your team
Skills files are plain text — open in any editor, version in git, share across your team.

Is your website invisible to AI?
AI search engines, answer engines, and agents don't read sites the way Google does. If your site isn't structured for AI, it won't be cited, referenced, or trusted — no matter how good your content is.
