About Zencoder

Join us at Zencoder, where our mission is to advance human knowledge through innovative AI solutions. We're transforming the landscape of software development by empowering developers with AI coding agents embedded into their workflow that help create high-quality software and accelerate product delivery. By empowering developers to code smarter, faster, and with greater impact we bridge the gap between imagination and implementation, helping organizations ship impactful software products faster.

Our product is an extension for JetBrains and VSCode that assists developers not only in generating code but also in iterative refining and repairing it through embedded AI agents. This approach goes beyond the basic code snippet suggestions. By deeply analyzing developers’ repositories and employing robust software engineering principles, Zencoder's agents enhance code quality and project alignment, freeing developers to concentrate more on innovation and creative problem-solving.
