QUACK AI

Quack AI provides an artificial intelligence-driven platform designed to assist developers by autocompleting code, answering project-related questions, and performing code refactoring. The system integrates with major integrated development environments (IDEs) like VS Code and JetBrains through extensions, aiming to enhance developer productivity. It functions by creating a secure, local knowledge base from a company's codebase, documentation, and communication channels such as Slack and Jira. This allows the AI to provide context-aware suggestions and answers without exposing sensitive code to external parties.

Founded in 2022 by Co-Founders Kanjun Qiu (CEO) and Josh Albrecht (CTO), who previously co-founded the AI company Generally Intelligent, Quack AI was developed to address the inefficiencies they observed in software development. The company is a part of Y Combinator's Winter 2023 batch. The business model appears to be SaaS-based, targeting software engineering teams and enterprises looking to streamline their development workflows and improve code quality and consistency.
