Kodezi Inc., commonly known as Kodezi, is a U.S.-based generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) software company founded in 2019 by the machine learning researcher Ishraq Khan[1] and Boston College Carroll School of Management alumni Mike Walsh, that reviews and auto-corrects computer programming code in real-time having been modelled after Grammarly, the cloud-based[2] typing assistant also headquartered in San Francisco.[3][4]
History
[edit]Early history
[edit]Kodezi (then known as TeachMeCode) was founded in March 2019 by the machine learning researcher Ishraq Khan and Mike Walsh, an alumnus of Boston College Carroll School of Management,[5] as a educational technology platform in San Francisco, U.S. and has its headquarters still in the same location.[6]
The original prototype of the software focused on the peer to peer learning method by which one student taught another,[7] a concept initially introduced by British educators Andrew Bell and Joseph Lancaster in the late 18th century.[8][9]
Modern history
[edit]In 2020, TeachMeCode rebranded and changed its name to Kodezi.[7]
On November 30, 2021, Kodezi Inc. (trading as Kodezi) was incorporated in Delaware, United States, listing its founders Ishraq Khan and Mike Walsh on the board of directors.[10]
The software development company bases its GenAI software on the same model as Grammarly,[11][12] a digital writing tool that, among other things, provides grammar and spell checking tools for its users.[13]
In May 2022, the company raised 800,000 United States dollars[14] in its pre-seed round from Watertower Ventures and RTP Global.[15][16]
In February 2023, Product Hunt, an American product discovery site owned by AngelList,[17][18] listed Kodezi as product of the month on its front page.[19]
Controversies
[edit]In early 2018, Tavis Ormandy, a security researcher at Google who was formerly part of Google's Project Zero team,[20] uncovered a vulnerability in Grammarly's browser extension, which exposed authentication tokens to websites[21] and potentially allowing them to access the users' documents and other data, raising concerns about whether the same could be true for Kodezi's own software versions.[22] Within a few hours, the companies released a hotfix and reported that it found no evidence of compromised user data.[23]
On April 7, 2023, an article in the Harvard Business Review (HBR)[24][25] argued about the uncertainty and challenges ahead for companies such as Kodezi that use and rely generative AI, citing that there were risks regarding infringement.[26]
