Qodo (formerly CodiumAI) is a comprehensive AI-powered platform that emphasizes code integrity above all else. Founded in 2022 by former Alibaba AI Lab Director Itamar Friedman and ex-VMware lead Dedy Kredo, Qodo takes a unique approach by focusing on code quality, testing, and review rather than just code generation. The name "Qodo" represents a confluence of "Quality" and "Code," reflecting the company's core mission. The platform consists of two main products: Qodo Gen (formerly Codiumate) for AI-powered code generation, testing, and documentation within IDEs; and Qodo Merge (formerly PR-Agent) for automated, intelligent code reviews in pull requests. Unlike general-purpose code completion tools, Qodo generates tests that help you understand how your code behaves, finds edge cases and suspicious behaviors, and makes your code more robust. With over 1 million installs across extensions, Qodo has demonstrated significant impact: users report 25% time savings, catching an average of 5 bugs per developer monthly, and improved code coverage. The platform provides context-aware suggestions ranked by severity, multi-repo codebase understanding, and integration across popular IDEs (VS Code, JetBrains), terminals, and Git platforms (GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps). Qodo offers a generous free plan for individual developers with AI code reviews, testing, and generation capabilities. Teams and enterprises benefit from advanced features like automated PR reviews, bug detection, organizational context learning, and enhanced privacy controls. The platform uses a credit-based system where most LLM requests consume one credit, allowing flexible usage across different AI models.
