Our take
Magic is a startup that uses AI to help with coding. It supplies a set of tools that can write and manage code for software projects, almost like having a smart assistant that understands programming. Interestingly, its technology can handle large amounts of code and remember details over long stretches of work.
The aim is to make things easier by automatically performing tasks such as writing new code, fixing issues and planning changes. This means developers can get help with their coding work without having to do everything manually.
The company has raised good funding from several high-profile investors. And it's also teamed up with Google Cloud to build powerful computer systems to support its AI tools. With this funding and partnership, Magic will advance its technology and work towards creating even more advanced AI in the future.
