Zencoder unveils its next-generation AI coding and unit testing agents today, positioning the San Francisco-based company as a formidable challenger to established players like GitHub Copilot and newcomers like Cursor.The company, founded by former Wrike CEO Andrew Filev, integrates its AI agents directly into popular development environments including Visual Studio Code and JetBrains IDEs, alongside deep integrations with JIRA, GitHub, GitLab, Sentry, and more than 20 other development tools.“We started with the thesis that transformers are powerful computing building blocks, but if you put them in a more agentic environment, you can get much more out of them,” said Filev in an exclusive interview with VentureBeat. “By agentic, I mean two key things: first, giving the AI feedback so it can improve its work, and second, equipping it with tools. Just like human intelligence, AI becomes significantly more capable when it has the right tools at its disposal.”Why developers won’t need to abandon their favorite IDEs for AI assistanceSeveral AI coding assistants have emerged in the past year, but Zencoder’s approach distinguishes itself by operating within existing workflows rather than requiring developers to switch platforms.“Our main competitor is Cursor. Cursor is its own development environment versus we deliver the same very powerful agentic capabilities, but within existing development environments,” Filev told VentureBeat

On the heels of releasing its new generative AI models, Google updated its Code Assist tools to work with Gemini 2.0 and expanded the external data sources it connects to. Code Assist will now run on the recently released Gemini 2.0, offering a larger context window to understand bigger code bases from enterprises. Google will also launch Gemini Code Assist tools in a private preview. The platform will connect to data sources like GitLab, GitHub, Google Docs, Sentry.io, Atlassian and Snyk. This will allow developers and other coders to ask Code Assist for help directly in their IDEs. Previously, Code Assist connected to VS Code and JetBrains.

Luckily, Sentry launched the Metrics beta back in March.
Yet another software license is vying for the attentions of SaaS companies seeking to align themselves with the open source realm, without compromising their commercial endeavors.Sentry, an app performance monitoring (APM) company that helps companies such as Disney, Microsoft, and Cisco track and resolve laggy or buggy applications, has transitioned its core product to a new license it designed called the Functional Source License (FSL). The company’s open source chief Chad Whitacre says the license is for any SaaS firm that wishes to “grant freedom without harmful free-riding.”“There’s been a long history of companies with deeper pockets and more resources taking advantage of traditional open source companies,” Whitacre told TechCrunch over email. “Open source companies, regardless of license or the pedantic definition, have become increasingly reliant on being venture-backed, for-profit, or more importantly being supported by the companies that rely on their code.”SwitchRecent history is littered with examples of companies that grew off the back of open source projects, but later abandoned those roots to protect their commercial interests. In 2021 Elastic switched Elasticsearch from an Apache 2.0 license to a duo of source-available licenses, a move designed to prevent third-parties such as AWS from essentially selling its own version of Elasticsearch “as-a-service” without contributing much back to the original project. More recently, HashiCorp did something similar with Terraform, while the likes of Element (with Matrix) and Grafana transitioned from permissive open source licenses to so-called “copyleft” licenses, essentially forcing users to keep derivative projects open source, or pay for a license to use the product.As for Sentry, the San Francisco-based company started out more than a decade ago under a permissive BSD 3-Clause license, one that comes with few restrictions. Similar to the other aforementioned companies, Sentry relicensed its core product back in 2019 to counter what co-founder and CTO David Cramer called “funded businesses plagiarizing or copying our work to directly compete with Sentry.“This has included taking marketing content from our website, plagiarizing our documentation and framing it as their own, or straight-up copy/pasting our product visuals,” Cramer wrote at the time
Sentry started life in 2008 as an unlicensed, 71-line Django plugin.
