Introduction

The world increasingly runs on code. Accelerating the work of those who create that code will boost their productivity — and that’s just what AI startup Codeium, a member of NVIDIA’s Inception program for startups, aims to do. On the latest episode of NVIDIA’s AI Podcast, host Noah Kravitz interviewed Codeium founder and CEO Varun Mohan and Jeff Wang, the company’s head of business, about the company's business, about how AI is transforming software. Codeium's AI-powered code acceleration toolkit boasts three core features: autocomplete, chat and search. Autocomplete intelligently suggests code segments, saving developers time by minimizing the need for writing boilerplate or unit tests. At the same time the chat function empowers developers to rework or even create code with natural language queries, enhancing their coding efficiency while providing searchable context on the entire code base. Noah spoke with Mohan and Wang about the future of software development with AI, and the continued, essential role of humans in the process.
