Poolside

Poolside is building a generative AI foundation model, an API, and a coding assistant designed specifically for software engineers. By building a specialized model, Poolside competes by being tailored to the specific needs of the coding industry. Poolside can write and edit code snippets, respond to user questions, and give suggestions based on context from the developer’s workspace. Poolside also ensures that no data or code ever leaves the company’s security boundaries and excludes copyrighted material and personally identifiable information. Poolside’s training model differentiates via its use of synthetic training data at scale, allowing it to avoid data bottlenecks in training, as well as increasing the company’s ability to build more secure models.
