Swimm Taking on Tech’s Heavy Hitters with GenAI Tool for Developers

Swimm will be launching a new product for enterprise software developers. Some of the biggest players in tech today – Microsoft (Copilot), Google (Duet AI), Amazon (CodeWhisperer) – are building AI code assistance tools because they understand the need for strong, easily accessible code knowledge. The main issue though is that while they’re competing with each other on the basis of their code analysis capabilities and the LLMs they’re using, no matter how good the tool is – it doesn’t know what it doesn’t know. The tools that currently exist most often lack the full context needed to make them truly effective for developers and the ability to prevent answers that are too generic.

Valuable context can include information that isn’t evident in the code itself, for example – business decisions, product design considerations, limitations that were the basis of roads not taken, etc. These can be critical, particularly when refactoring legacy code or trying to understand complex flows and processes in a codebase.

Swimm, leaders in the code understanding and documentation space, will be launching the first fully contextualized GenAI-powered coding assistant next week. It’s a conversational chat within the IDE that instantly answers any questions about documentation, code, files, repos, or even entire software ecosystems—and automatically captures and updates code-related knowledge in the process. By keeping documentation and context up to date with existing code, processing it and feeding it in time to the LLMs, Swimm has solved one of the biggest challenges developers face today.
