Our numbers
Kite was developed as an AI-powered coding assistant to help developers improve their programming efficiency. The product offered AI-driven code completions and suggestions to speed up the coding process. Targeting both individual developers and teams, Kite sought to reduce the time spent on repetitive coding tasks, allowing developers to focus on more complex problem-solving. Despite these ambitious goals and a large user base of 500,000 monthly-active developers, Kite encountered significant business challenges. It struggled to achieve a monetizable product-market fit and generate revenue, leading to its eventual decision to cease operations. The limitations in AI’s ability to fully understand code context and deliver a 10x productivity increase played a critical role in Kite’s trajectory.
Kite demonstrated its technological prowess by building a sophisticated AI solution, yet faced difficulties convincing the market of its value, primarily because individual developers were not inclined to pay for such tools. Engineering managers were interested but sought more definitive enhancements in coding efficiency. In pursuit of new directions like code search utilizing its AI technology, Kite ultimately did not proceed due to team exhaustion.
