Baz is building AI agents that operate on your codebase, with an initial focus on the pull request — the chokepoint where code quality is won or lost. The company's thesis is direct: AI code is everywhere now, and the traditional pull request experience, largely unchanged for years, was never designed for a world where machines generate much of the code under review. Baz sets out to give the PR the overhaul it needs.
At the center of the product is Reviewer, a purpose-built coding agent for pull requests. Rather than offering generic comments, Reviewer analyzes code and performs intelligent, inline reviews of the specific edits in a change. Crucially, it brings broad codebase context into the review, helping developers understand the downstream impact of a change across multiple repositories — the kind of cross-cutting reasoning that human reviewers often lack the time or visibility to perform.
This multi-repo, context-aware approach reflects Baz's broader ambition to build agents that genuinely operate a codebase rather than just commenting on diffs. By running specialized reviewers for every pull request, Baz aims to make high-quality review scalable even as the volume of AI-generated code outpaces what human teams can manually inspect, turning review from a bottleneck into an automated safeguard.
The founding team brings serious credibility in developer security and tooling. Baz was founded by Guy Eisenkot and Nimrod Kor, who together bring more than two decades of engineering experience. Eisenkot previously co-founded Bridgecrew, the infrastructure-security company acquired by Palo Alto Networks for $200 million in 2021 — a background that informs Baz's rigor around code quality and risk.
Baz raised an $8 million seed round co-led by Battery Ventures and Boldstart Ventures, with participation from Vermillion Ventures, Secret Chord Ventures, and Fusion VC. The funding supports Baz's effort to reinvent code review with specialized AI agents purpose-built for the realities of modern, AI-accelerated software development.
