What We Do
Reflection was founded by former DeepMind and OpenAI researchers to build superintelligent coding agents. We previously built the most powerful LLM (ChatGPT, Gemini) and agent (AlphaGo, AlphaZero) systems in the world. Reflection’s mission is to build superhuman coding agents. Today’s language models are powerful, but they fall short when it comes to tasks that require acting over many steps. The reason is simple. These models were never trained for autonomy. Our goal is to create the most capable and reliable coding agents in the world. Our product is a Coding Agent API that helps automate rote engineering work.
