| Enterprises are setting ambitious engineering goals as AI coding agents become mainstream - but teams are already hitting a ceiling. Existing agents still require engineers to guide them one project at a time, and they can’t operate inside your AWS, GCP, or Azure environment, leaving deployment, testing, and infra integration as manual work. KanuAI solves this by running inside your cloud accounts - building, deploying, and validating application and cloud infrastructure autonomously. Engineers provide architectural input, enabling Kanu to learn from their decisions and align with your workflows. This lets a single engineer oversee 10+ projects at once. | $11.7M / Seed / Sep 22, 2026 | ||
