Agentic AI from INSAIT and ETH Zurich

Researchers and entrepreneurs from INSAIT and ETH Zurich have launched LogicStar AI, a new deep-tech startup, which is building fully autonomous agentic AI that helps teams maintain their software.

Founding Team

The founding team behind LogicStar AI is star-studded and includes the founders of DeepCode.ai (now Snyk Code) which is currently delivering more than $100M ARR for Snyk. The LogicStar AI founders are:

  • 🌟 Boris Paskalev (CEO), formerly CEO of DeepCode, then Director of Product AI at Snyk, and currently a Strategic Entrepreneurship Advisor at INSAIT.
  • 🌟 Dr. Mark Niklas Müller (CTO), AI PhD from ETH Zurich, formerly an engineer at Porsche and Mercedes AMG Petronas F1 Team.
  • 🌟 Dr. Veselin Raychev (Chief Architect), formerly CTO of DeepCode, then Head of AI at Snyk and researcher at INSAIT.
  • 🌟 Prof. Martin Vechev (Adviser), full professor at ETH Zurich, founder and scientific director of INSAIT.

LogicStar AI Mission
LogicStar AI is building an agentic AI platform for automatically validating, reproducing, and fixing bugs with high precision. Their technology empowers engineering teams to focus on creating new features, driving growth and innovation, by reducing the burden of maintenance and debugging issues. With LogicStar AI, developers can thus spend more of their time delivering real business value, while LogicStar AI reliably addresses software maintenance problems without manual intervention.

INSAIT’s mission
INSAIT (https://insait.ai) is a world-class computer science and AI research institution, founded in 2022 in partnership with Switzerland’s ETH Zurich and EPFL. The focus of INSAIT is on conducting world-class research and attracting outstanding faculty, research scientists, postdocs, and PhD students. In the short time since its inception, INSAIT has published over 50 papers in all major AI venues, as well as in premier theory conferences.

Join the Journey
As LogicStar AI embarks on this exciting new chapter, we invite talented individuals to join our team and shape the future of reliable AI for code and software applications. For more information on career opportunities, partnerships, or to learn about our innovative solutions, please visit our website and follow LogicStar on LinkedIn. LogicStar AI has offices in both Sofia, Bulgaria and Zurich, Switzerland.

  • How a software factory earns the right to merge: CI, narrow checks and AI review feed fixed rules set by the blast radius. When the checks pass the change is ready to merge; on a conflict a reviewer resolves it.

    How a Software Factory Earns the Right to Merge

    A coding agent can turn a ticket into a green pull request in minutes. We split the merge decision into narrow checks, let fixed rules decide, set the strictness by the blast radius of a change, and bring in a person only where the agent gets stuck.

  • A ticket's path through a software factory. Most of the steps come before the coding agent starts.

    Stopping the Wrong Work Early

    We compared a stronger model, a different agent, answers from the author and a read-only investigation before any code. On 19 fresh tickets, the investigation went ahead on 9 of 10 wanted changes and held back 7 of 9 requests an author had already declined.
