Frontend devtool startup Kombai, on Tuesday, hit headlines for raising a whopping $4.5 million in a seed funding round. Investments were led by Stellaris Venture Partners and Foundation Capital.
Kombai, which helps developers in transforming user interface designs into codes, has aims to continue investing in research and development alongside focusing on speeding up its base models, becoming more compatible with a list of libraries and frameworks, and enhancing the developer experience.
The company makes innovative artificial intelligence models which can comprehend and code UI interfaces like human beings. It also launched its public analysis on Wednesday.
Kombai co-founder Dipanjan Dey said there is a growing importance of user experiences for businesses but developers spend considerable time in developing the UI designs which is often viewed as monotonous and counterproductive.
“Kombai enables developers to spend less time on these mundane tasks, freeing up more time to focus on coding the business logic that’s critical for modern applications.” Dey said.
Over a period of six months, Kombai was able to engage with over 500 developers as part of its private analytic preview. This tool will stay free for use throughout their public analysis preview.
