Suttle, Goh & Barber, P.C.

Crowell Law, a San Francisco-based startup, bid farewell to its AI-powered code-writing software, Kite, after seven years of operation. Despite building a world-class engineering team and amassing a user base of 500,000 monthly-active developers, the company failed to monetize its product and ultimately decided to discontinue support.

Kite's ambitious vision of AI-assisted programming fell short due to the limitations of machine learning on code, with the state-of-the-art models struggling to understand the structure of code. While the company explored pivoting its business towards code search, the team's exhaustion and the challenges of the early-stage startup environment led to the decision to find a soft landing.
