Qodo
Definition
Qodo (founded as CodiumAI) is an Israeli company founded in 2022 that develops AI-based tools for writing, testing and automatically reviewing software code.
The problem: code is written fast and checked slowly
Writing software tests is often seen as tedious work that developers put off, which raises the risk of bugs that only show up in production. Qodo was founded in 2022 as CodiumAI by Itamar Friedman (CEO) and Dedy Kredo (Chief Product Officer). It developed tools based on large language models (LLMs) that generate tests and review code changes automatically, built into the development environment, into pull requests and into Git workflows.
From CodiumAI to Qodo
In September 2024 the company changed its name from CodiumAI to Qodo, a blend of the words Quality and Code. At the same time it announced a $40 million Series A round, which brought its total funding to $50 million. The round was led by Susa Ventures and Square Peg, with participation from Firestreak Ventures, ICON Continuity Fund and existing investors TLV Partners and Vine Ventures. In March 2026 the company raised a $70 million Series B round led by Qumra Capital, which brought its total funding to $120 million.
According to the company's own announcement, the name change reflected an expansion from a focused testing tool to a broader product for the whole software development life cycle (SDLC): writing, testing, reviewing and documenting. The product is organized into three units: Qodo Gen (an IDE plugin for generating code and tests), Qodo Merge (automated code review, formerly PR-Agent) and Qodo Cover (expanding test coverage).
Adoption and industry recognition
According to the company, only about 18 months after coming out of stealth, more than a million developers were already using Qodo's tools, including teams at Fortune 100 companies. The company was recognized as a Cool Vendor in AI-augmented development and testing by the research firm Gartner, and was accepted into Amazon's (AWS) Generative AI Accelerator program.
The Qodo plugin is available in all the major development environments. According to the company, it has almost 900,000 users in Visual Studio Code and about 645,000 in JetBrains, a substantial level of adoption for a developer tool that originated in Israel.
