Codewords

Codewords develops a chat-based platform for building automated workflow agents that enables users to create working AI agents through natural language descriptions, with specialized capabilities for building WhatsApp agents that handle conversations, decisions, and data logging for operational teams. The platform uses Cody, an AI assistant that interprets plain-language instructions to map tools, set up logic, configure integrations, and deploy agents in minutes without requiring code, flowcharts, or drag-and-drop interfaces. CodeWords supports over 3,000 integrations including WhatsApp, Google Sheets, HubSpot, Notion, Gmail, Airtable, Shopify, and Slack, enabling agents to connect with existing business tools in a single click. The platform offers three agent types: conversational agents that respond to inbound messages and resolve issues or hand off to humans with full context, proactive agents that initiate outreach on schedules or external triggers for tasks like shift reminders and payment follow-ups, and notification agents for one-way outbound messages such as driver briefings and SLA breach alerts. Agents can be modified by simply describing changes, with Cody redeploying updated logic through the same conversation interface. Founded in 2023 and headquartered in London, United Kingdom, Codewords has raised approximately $13 million at the Seed stage from investors including Fly Ventures, Firstminute Capital, Visionaries Club, Sequel, and Illusian.
