Agemo has come out of stealth with $4m for building AI-driven software to Poolside and Magic.
Its founders, Aymeric Zhuo and Osman Ramadan, want to tackle the problem of LLMs plateauing.
Agemo wants to build a platform that aims to allow non-developers to autonomously develop software from text prompts.
The funding was led by Firstminute Capital and Fly Ventures, and capital from DeepMind executive Mehdi Ghissassi and Datadog CEO Olivier Pomel.
Agemo also differentiates itself from competitors by developing a neurosymbolic AI system for software reasoning.
While current incumbents in the space deploy AI to help developers build code, Agemo wants to build a platform that actually understands software.
Agemo is based in London, which it sees as a hotbed for AI talent.
The company is currently preparing to release a platform called CodeWords.
The next step is to go to market with a focus on building their software incrementally so that it can be enterprise-ready.
Agemo raised modest sums from European investors (compared to OpenAI and Meta who raised a huge amount) has enabled Agemo to build a sustainable business.
