These startups develop software development AI agent orchestration platforms
1
Emergent
Country: USA | Funding: $100M
Emergent is an AI-powered platform for creating websites, web- and mobile apps. It lets you create and host projects, provides access to cutting-edge LLM models and chat interface where you can explain how the app should work in natural language, while the AI ​​takes care of coding, design and deployment. As advertised, the generated code is ready to use and the resulting app is entirely yours. But Emergent is designed not only for complete beginners but also for experienced developers. You can create and deploy your own specialized agents tailored to your workflows, implement integrations that connect services, automate tasks and accelerate delivery, collaborate with your team in real time and sync projects with GitHub for version control.

Harness
Country: USA | Funding: $775M
Harness is developing a platform for creating AI agents for the “after-code” phase of software development, which includes testing, security checks, verification and deployment - processes which consume nearly 70% of development cycle time. The startup aims to solve the problem of uncontrolled code risks caused by the use of AI for coding. The Harness platform is built on a software development knowledge graph that maps code changes, services, deployments, tests, environments, incidents, policies and costs. The company claims the knowledge graph gives the system a deep understanding of each client's software development processes and architecture.
3
Replit
Country: USA | Funding: $472M
Replit allows to vibe code directly in mobile app - describe your app idea in simple terms and watch agent is turning into a working product. Whether it's a mobile game, a productivity tool, or a small digital store, the platform can generate the app and, what's more, help publish it to app stores. For example, if a stock trader tasks an agent with "creating an app tracking the 10 largest public companies by market capitalization" - Replit generates a mobile app with a working interface and allows him to preview and test the app. Replit has also integrated its platform with the Stripe payment processing system, allowing users to monetize their apps easily.
4
Port
Country: Israel | Funding: $160M
Port is building an AI-agentic software development platform similar to Spotify's Backstage. The platform streamlines and automates workflows with AI agents, including finding, sharing them and ensuring their performance meets company standards. Port provides an orchestration layer with features that measure agent performance and, if necessary, add a human to the approval process. Its feature called "context lake" defines data sources, context memory and protection mechanisms for agents. In addition to using Port to catalog agents already created by developers using other tools, they can also use Port to create new agents. Port also offers several of its own pre-built agents that can perform tasks such as processing support tickets and handling resource provisioning.
5
Augment
Country: USA | Funding: $252M
Augment creates an AI platform for developers that includes chat, AI agent and Next Edit (code completion tool). The company claims that their AI assistants better understand programmers' intent than GitHub Copilot for example. Augment's autonomous software agents can run in various IDEs and in the cloud. The agent has a Memories feature, which is automatically updated during development and persists between conversations to continuously improve code generation, solve problems faster and match developer's style and coding patterns. The model supports MCP link to GitHub, Jira, Confluence, Notion, Linear, Vercel and Cloudflare. Augment's models were trained on publicly available data, some of which may be copyrighted or have a restrictive license.
