CodeMender AI

Detailed Description

CodeMender is an AI agent created by DeepMind to strengthen software security by automatically finding and repairing vulnerabilities in code. It works fast when a new security hole appears, CodeMender crafts a patch to fix it and checks its changes so it does not break the program. It also goes further by rewriting older code to remove entire classes of problems before they become risks. Over six months, it has submitted 72 security fixes for big open-source projects, including codebases with millions of lines. Developers still review every patch to ensure safety and correctness. Using tools like fuzzing, static analysis, and test comparisons, CodeMender helps maintainers spend more time building features and less time chasing bugs.
