From 2014 to 2021, Kite was a startup using AI to help developers write code. We have stopped working on Kite and are no longer supporting the Kite software
First, we failed to deliver our vision of AI-assisted programming because we were 10+ years too early to market, i.e., the tech is not ready yet
We failed to build a business because our product did not monetize, and it took too long to figure that out
Then, we grew our user base. We executed very well here and expanded our user base to 500,000 monthly-active developers with almost zero marketing spend
Then, our product failed to generate revenue. Our 500k developers would not pay to use it
