“Greptile Secures $4M Funding to Pioneer AI-Driven Code Mastery”
Greptile, an early stage startup from a group of recent Georgia Tech grads, decided to take a different approach: using AI to help developers understand the code base.
Greptile CEO and co-founder Daksh Gupta says the Greptile bot is like having a highly experienced coworker who has a deep understanding of your code.
“So we’re building AI tools that understand large code bases at companies because as time goes on, and multiple programmers work on the codebase, it tends to get very difficult to understand,” Gupta told TechCrunch.
Once the repositories have been indexed by the system, you add a natural language query such as, how does the authentication work in this code base,” he said.
The startup launched last July after the founders came up with the idea for the company at a hackathon.
