Emergent eyes production-grade AI software

EMERGENT, A YEAR-OLD artificial intelligence (AI) startup founded by Dunzo co-founder Mukund Jha, is positioning itself around the idea that the next phase of software creation will be driven by non-programmers building full-fledged applications using Al, ratherthan developers writing code line by line.

The company positions itself as a counterpoint to the first wave of so-called vibe coding platforms, which promised rapid application creation but often fell short when it came to building production grade software. In an interaction with FE, Jha said Emergent’s focus has been on reliability and real-world deployment, rather than quick demos. The platform allows users to describe what they want in natural language, after which a system of AI agents builds, tests and deploys the application.
