Void - S24 - Ycombinator Companies
Hello and welcome back to Unpod! In this series, we’re talking about some amazing companies that are funded by Y Combinator and how they’re using AI to shape the future. Today, we’re going to dive into Void, a startup that's transforming the way developers work with AI-powered code editing tools.
So, what is Void? It’s an open-source AI code editor that offers developers AI features similar to popular tools like GitHub Copilot or Cursor, but with a key difference—full privacy and control. Unlike most AI-powered code editors, which require sending your code to external APIs, Void lets you keep your code and data on your own computer. That means no more privacy concerns about sensitive code being sent over the internet.
Void was founded in 2024 by two brothers, Andrew and Mathew Pareles, who both have deep experience in AI and computer science. They’ve been programming together since they were kids, and now they’ve come up with this revolutionary tool that gives developers the freedom to host their own AI models and not rely on closed-source solutions like Cursor.
The best part about Void is its flexibility. It’s open source, so you can choose which AI model you want to work with, whether it's GPT, Claude, or any other. You also get access to a range of community-made features, giving you more control over your workflow. Plus, Void’s file system awareness means it can quickly understand and help you navigate your entire codebase, even making fast edits across thousands of lines of code.
If you’re a developer who values privacy and control over your tools, Void is definitely worth checking out. You can find more about them on GitHub.
