Poolside claims to be developing AGI for enterprise, but starting with software agents. Because (according to the founders) creating software requires understanding and creating a model of the world, as well as the ability to reason and plan. In other words, software development largely depends on human intelligence. Meanwhile, Poolside is developing code-generation model and agents for creating enterprise software. The main idea is to train the codeing model not only on code itself, but also on the enterprise's business data. Thus, the coding assistant provides suggestions or autocompletes code in the context of the given business (and not just in the context of programming practices). Poolside provides intelligence at every interface: through the terminal, API, agents and, of course, IDE. However, Poolside's philosophy is that software development should take place outside the editor. The company's clients are primarily Global 2000 companies and government agencies.
