London AI agent platform CodeWords raised €7.6 mn in Seed funding to expand its engineering and go-to-market teams.
The round came from Visionaries, which led the investment, with Firstminute Capital, Sequel, Illusian, and a group of angel investors and technology executives also joining the cap table.
CodeWords builds AI agents for companies seeking to run business operations with less manual oversight. The pitch is simple enough. Put repetitive workflows on autopilot, keep them running across business tools, and reduce the engineering burden usually tied to automation.
The company, founded by Aymeric Zhuo and Osman Ramadan, has built Cody, an AI agent designed to learn how a business operates and then act before users ask.
It automates repeat tasks, runs them continuously on CodeWords’ infrastructure, and improves with use. No coding, deployment work, or maintenance sits with the customer.
CodeWords began as Agemo, an AI research lab known for neurosymbolic reasoning. In 2024, the company appeared alongside OpenAI in the ARC-AGI benchmark, giving the team early credibility in a technical field where many agent startups still sell more promise than output.
Cody learns a company’s tools, goals, and workflows from the first day of use. It then proposes and builds automations running in the background across connected apps and messaging platforms.
One use case comes from a content agency. Cody manages social media workflows end to end, finding content, drafting posts, sending them through WhatsApp for approval, and publishing after sign-off.
Automation agencies use Cody for large-scale lead generation, with hundreds of thousands of tasks processed every month.
According to Beinsure analysts, this market now rewards agents that execute repeatable work, not demos that stop at task suggestions. They’re short of systems trusted to run operations without constant hand-holding.
CodeWords says its platform already handles about 500,000 tasks per month. The company is expanding Cody with contextual memory, WhatsApp support, and adaptable Cody modes, which adjust execution according to task type.
We think the product sits in a clear gap between workflow automation software and more autonomous AI agents. Traditional automation tools still require setup, logic mapping, and upkeep.
Cody aims to absorb much of that labour, then keep learning as the company changes.
CodeWords wants Cody to become a background operating layer for businesses. The target customer isn’t only a technical team. It also includes operators, agencies, and companies without internal engineering resources, where complex workflows still rely on manual work, spreadsheets, messaging apps, and staff memory.
The best operators don’t wait to be asked. We built Cody on the same principle, an agent that learns about your business, sees what needs doing, and delivers outcomes

“We want users to feel like they’re working with an agent that already knows their business. Cody learns continuously so instead of starting from scratch every time, it’s already thinking about what you need next,” said Osman Ramadan, co-founder of CodeWords.
