We are an early stage applied AI startup building agents that automate knowledge work with code. We’re on a mission to enable one billion humans to become software creators, and we are starting with a focus on data science and analysis use cases.
Today, Julius writes and executes 1 million lines of code every 36 hours, has served over 1 million users and generated over 3 million data visualizations.
We're a small technical team with experience from Uber, Facebook and Scale AI.

Building intuitive and performant user interfaces is critical to making Julius easy to use for over 1 million users. Our interface has several moving parts including tool use, multi-step reasoning, code generation, code execution, file and secrets management, and more. You will get to define and build the experiences for all of these as we scale to our future milestones.
