DeepCode AI is an advanced artificial intelligence system developed by Snyk to enhance code security and quality. It forms the core of Snyk Code, providing developers with a powerful static application security testing (SAST) and AI code review tool. DeepCode AI leverages multiple AI models and a vast knowledge base of security-specific data to detect vulnerabilities, suggest fixes, and manage technical debt across various programming languages. The system stands out for its ability to offer accurate security autofixes, comprehensive application coverage, and intelligent prioritization of issues. By combining symbolic and generative AI techniques with machine learning and expert knowledge, DeepCode AI achieves high accuracy while avoiding the pitfalls of hallucinations often associated with single-model AI solutions like GPT-4. DeepCode AI is designed to integrate seamlessly into the development workflow, offering in-line fix recommendations directly within the integrated development environment (IDE). This approach allows developers to maintain their productivity while significantly enhancing the security posture of their applications.
