Bright Zenith
To revolutionize software development through agentic AI coding, enabling developers to think deeper, code smarter, and build better. Qoder aims to transition from AI-assisted to AI-delegated coding, tackling real-world software development challenges through autonomous agents and enhanced context engineering.
Founding Story
Qoder was developed by Alibaba as part of their evolution in AI programming tools, moving from AI-assisted to AI-collaborative and finally to AI-autonomous programming. The company Bright Zenith Private Limited was incorporated in Singapore in April 2024 to house the Qoder platform. The team recognized challenges in real-world software development including project complexity and knowledge alignment, leading them to build an agentic coding platform focused on production-grade software rather than simple code completion.
