CodeWords banked €7.6 million ($9 million) in a Seed round led by Visionaries. The investment includes participation from Firstminute Capital, Sequel, and Illusian, the family office founded by the creators of several European unicorns. High-profile angels from Miro, ElevenLabs, and Personio also backed the London-based startup, following an earlier pre-seed investment from Firstminute.
The company develops Cody, an AI agent designed to automate repetitive business operations without requiring manual code or maintenance. The platform learns internal business patterns and tools to suggest and execute tasks autonomously on its own infrastructure. Its core technology stems from neurosymbolic reasoning research, which the team previously developed under the name Agemo.
Founders Aymeric Zhuo and Osman Ramadan originally established the firm as an AI research lab before pivoting to a go-to-market product. The transition followed their work on the ARC-AGI benchmark alongside major labs like OpenAI. The new funding is earmarked for the expansion of its engineering and commercial teams to support the transition from beta to full-scale deployment.
As European capital increasingly clusters around specialized AI applications, CodeWords follows a trend of research-heavy teams shifting toward practical agentic workflows for the enterprise sector.
