Read the full description
Coding agents write a lot of code now, and most of it is checked only by tests that the same agent wrote. Formal verification gives a better answer, but tools like Lean & TLA+ take years to learn. Apex puts one interface in front of them. You write what a function should do in plain English, or let Apex read your docstrings and tests. Apex picks the right engine between TLA+ Lean & Fuzzing to verify your code. Compatible with your favorite coding agent. No formal verification experience needed.

No Real formal verification requires expertise in Lean, TLA+, and proof engineering, and turning plain-English intent into correct formal specifications and checkable proofs is an open research-level problem. Vibe coding can generate UI and scaffolding but cannot supply trustworthy proofs.
What it would actually take: The stack would combine a web UI with an LLM that drafts formal specs and proof sketches, backed by Lean or TLA+ toolchains that actually check them. The hard parts are reliable spec extraction from natural language, proof automation that succeeds on realistic code, and explaining failures to non-experts. That requires researchers and engineers skilled in formal methods, plus substantial compute for proof search.
