Value proposition
Baz provides precision coding agents that review code, find bugs, enforce standards, fix security issues, and respond to incidents — shifting software governance from reviewing completed code to evaluating development plans before coding begins, reducing downstream rework by up to 65%.
Products and solutions
Baz AI Code Review (flagship AI-powered code review platform), Baz Planner (new product that identifies software bugs and vulnerabilities before code is written, acting as a gateway between developers and codebase), Spec Reviewer Agent, Advanced Security Agent, SRE Agent, Fixer Agent
Unique value
Unlike traditional code review tools that analyze code after it's written, Baz Planner intervenes at the planning stage to eliminate entire classes of bugs and vulnerabilities before code is ever authored, using specialized AI agents that understand code context, runtime behavior, and product requirements.
Target customer
AI-native engineering teams, infrastructure companies, cybersecurity firms, and enterprises using AI-generated code at scale
Industries served
Software Development, Cybersecurity, AI/Infrastructure, Enterprise Technology
Technology advantage
Built on proprietary code graphing and static analysis techniques (evolved from Checkov open-source project); uses Amazon Bedrock and Bedrock AgentCore for agentic workflows; integrates with Datadog LLM Observability; SOC 2 certified; precision-weighted #1 ranking on Code Review Bench independent benchmark
How they differentiate
Baz differentiates through its shift-left approach to code governance — catching bugs at the planning stage (Baz Planner) rather than after code is written. It uses specialized multi-agent architecture (Spec Reviewer, Security, SRE, Fixer agents) that understand code context, runtime behavior, and product requirements. Ranked #1 in precision on the independent Code Review Bench, beating OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Cursor.
Main competitors
Qodo (formerly CodiumAI), GitLab AI Code Review, Windsurf (Codeium)
Key partnerships
Amazon Web Services (AWS) — Amazon Bedrock and Bedrock AgentCore integration, Datadog — LLM Observability integration, GitHub Marketplace, Figma (via MCP), Jira (via REST API)
Notable customers
PointFive (Aviad Gal, VP Engineering), Galileo (Atindriyo Sanyal, Co-founder & CPO), BigPanda (Alex Brohshtut, Software Architect), Tastewise (Michael Ostrovsky, Engineering Team Lead), PayEm (Yoav Amir, Director of Engineering), Bigabid (Amit Attias, Co-Founder & CTO) — 100+ AI, infrastructure and cybersecurity customers
Major milestones
Founded August 2023 by Bridgecrew alumni, emerged from stealth January 2025 with $8M Seed round, launched AI Code Review product, ranked #1 in precision on Code Review Bench (beating OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Cursor), launched Baz Planner at AI Engineer World's Fair June 2026, raised $9M Seed extension (June 2026) bringing total to $17M, 100+ customers, SOC 2 certified
Growth metrics
100+ customers; ranked #1 precision on Code Review Bench; 65% reduction in downstream rework reported by Planner users; 30-70% time-to-merge reduction; up to 50% reduction in reported bugs
Market positioning
Baz positions itself as the leading agentic coding platform for governing AI-generated code, competing against general-purpose AI code review tools by offering specialized, context-aware agents that operate at both the planning and review stages. Ranked #1 in precision on Code Review Bench independent benchmark.
Geographic focus
