These AI-assisted innovations are from startups that are five years old or less

The Googles and Microsofts of the world hardly have a monopoly on innovation. Indeed, a number of recent tech breakthroughs have been delivered from organizations that aren’t even five years old. Who says youth is wasted on the young?

Codeium
For using AI to make developers’ lives easier
Codeium offers an AI-driven coding toolkit designed to streamline software development by providing intelligent, context-aware code suggestions. Supporting over 70 programming languages and integrating with more than 40 integrated development environments, Codeium adapts to diverse workflows, allowing developers to self-host securely or use the platform as software as a service. Leveraging its infrastructure background, Codeium provides the service for free, attracting over 1 million users and processing 100 billion tokens of code daily. Codeium now counts Zillow and Dell as clients, and recently raised a $65 million Series B funding round.

Duckbill
For providing a personal assistant that can help tackle everyday problems
Duckbill’s hybrid AI- and human-powered personal assistant tackles everyday “life admin” tasks. By blending AI’s efficiency with human judgment, Duckbill anticipates needs, adapts to individual preferences, and handles complex tasks beyond simple automation. Unlike purely AI-based solutions, Duckbill’s human copilots manage real-world complexities, allowing users to offload everything from appointment scheduling to event planning.

You.com
For making LLMs more trustworthy
You.com’s AI productivity platform is designed to improve the accuracy and reliability of generative AI for knowledge workers. Unlike typical LLMs, You.com provides up-to-date, verifiable information by integrating live web access and citations, addressing the common issue of AI inaccuracies.
