Summary table of the funding deals for the AI code assistant market since 2024
We define the AI code assistant market as products that help developers write, edit, and understand code through AI directly in their coding environment.
We include IDE/editor-integrated assistants that provide inline completion, chat-based help, and code transformations/refactors that result in code changes.
We exclude general-purpose AI chat, IDEs themselves, and AI tools focused primarily on PR review, CI automation, security scanning, or end-to-end autonomous software delivery rather than interactive coding assistance.
We focused exclusively on pure players, defined as companies with at least 70–80% of their business directly tied to the AI code assistant market.
Our analysis has been done at a global level with a minimum funding threshold of $300k.
