ByteAsk builds an AI coding agent purpose-built for C and C++ codebases — the systems code behind trading platforms, cars, chips and operating systems. The agent edits code and verifies every change with the real toolchain — compilers, sanitizers, debuggers and tests — running in the terminal or inside editors such as VS Code, Cursor, JetBrains, Neovim, Emacs and Zed, with on-premises and zero-data-retention deployment for sensitive environments. Founded in June 2026 by IIT Delhi graduates Anirudha Kulkarni and Pratyush Saini, who previously built and sold legal AI startup LawSutra AI to Manupatra, the company targets engineers in defence, aerospace, robotics, high-frequency trading, automotive and semiconductors from its San Francisco headquarters with an engineering team in Bengaluru.
