Video is absolutely banger, something different from usual launch. Deserves more views though

About

CodeWords is a London-based startup, previously known as Agemo, building Cody, an AI agent that handles repetitive business workflows automatically without users needing to write, deploy, or maintain any code. The product is aimed at non-technical operators who want to describe a task in plain language and have it run reliably in the background, covering the kinds of multi-step automations that usually require an engineer or a brittle chain of no-code tools. The launch marks a $9 million seed round led by Visionaries, with participation from firstminute capital, Sequel, and Illusian , alongside a roster of operator angels including Andrey Khusid of Miro, Mati Staniszewski of ElevenLabs, Hanno Renner of Personio, Robert Gentz of Zalando, Ilkka Paananen of Supercell, and François Chollet of the ARC Prize . CodeWords currently employs 14 people in London and plans to use the funding to open a San Francisco office and grow its go-to-market and engineering teams. The company was founded in 2023 by Osman Ramadan and Aymeric Zhuo, with backgrounds from Microsoft, Palantir, Meta, and PolyAI . The pitch behind this raise is a shift from reactive automation to anticipatory agents, with Cody designed to learn about a user's business, see what needs doing, and deliver outcomes , positioning CodeWords against vibe-coding tools and workflow incumbents by targeting business operators rather than developers.

The cut from 'chat with it' to 'production cron job running at 3am' in the demo did all the heavy lifting. Whoever edited that earned their paycheck twice.

Tomás De Luca26d ago

Curious about webhook signing and rate limits on the agent runtime. Also, are runs idempotent or do I get to debug duplicate Stripe charges next week?

Nikhil Varma26d ago

Production-ready and reliable in the same sentence as 'chat to build it' is a bold claim. I'll believe it when my Zapier graveyard stops haunting me.

Sofia Grimaldi26d ago

Been watching the team since the early demos and the agent reliability story is the actual moat here. Quietly cheering from across the table.

Marcus van Wijk26d ago

Tweet copy buries the lede. 'AI agents that work while you're away' should have been line one, the funding line two.

Naive question: what happens when the agent hits an OAuth token expiry at 2am with no human around? Asking for my entire team.

yukibyte26d ago

Every agent launch this year promises the same thing and then ships a wrapper around a cron job. Show me a six month uptime graph or it didn't happen.

Zayn Iqbal26d ago

This is probably one of the last automation tools that'll get built without being agents-first under the hood. The category is collapsing fast.

Amara Coetzee26d ago

Hey Aymeric, would love to chat for a piece I'm working on about post-Zapier automation. DMs open whenever you surface from launch day.

Ofek Bar-On26d ago

Building in this space too and honestly happy to see someone take the reliability angle seriously instead of shipping another agent playground.

Klaus Henriksen26d ago

Reminds me of what the team at Lindy was doing early on, but the chat-to-production framing is sharper. Watching this one closely.

Latifa Mansour26d ago

Where do agent runs execute and where is the data stored? Some of us have customers who care deeply about EU residency before they touch anything autonomous.

Carlo Benitez26d ago

The 'anyone can build software' market keeps getting announced and the actual builders keep being engineers anyway. Will be interesting to see who actually uses this in 12 months.
