Bito, a tech startup, has launched its platform that uses artificial intelligence to enhance personalized software development. The platform is the first to provide tailored results from code generation to testing, documentation, and search by learning from the user’s codebase. Available in alpha release, the AI-powered coding assistant engine is currently free to use and works with Visual Studio Code, CLI, and JetBrain IDEs.
The system’s unique feature is its ability to answer any developer question, generate source code, and give feedback on existing code. The algorithms can generate natural language prompts in any programming language, such as writing a Java function to authenticate a user and provide them a welcome message. Users can access the platform nearly 200 times per month and report that it increases their productivity by 31%.
The company’s Co-founder and CEO, Amar Goel, is the former CEO and founder of PubMatic, a cloud infrastructure platform facilitating programmatic advertising transactions. Bito’s co-founders are Anand Das, who built an infrastructure with thousands of servers handling over five petabytes of data at PubMatic, and Mukesh Agarwal, a former product leader at Microsoft and Ernst & Young.
Bito’s recent funding round raised $3.2 million, led by Eniac Ventures, and supported by investors from LinkedIn, PayPal, and Google. Funding also came from The Cap Table Coalition, a group aiming to diversify the VC ecosystem by creating investment opportunities for marginalized investors.
Bito’s AI is an intuitive solution to empower the next generation of developers to automate ever more complex tasks at scale, freeing up massive resources to focus on more important work, said Amar Goel, CEO and Co-founder of Bito. With the ability to write, analyze and optimize code while understanding your own codebase, the launch of Bito’s platform represents a milestone in the history of software development.
With Bito’s AI Assistant, developers can automate everyday tasks and operate more efficiently. The system can handle and optimize data and enhance software development output, resulting in fewer bugs and more time spent on critical thinking. The platform supports global startups with a remote team spread across three continents and aims to accelerate innovation by helping developers supercharge their production.
