The maintenance work that eats up engineering hours-testing, monitoring, debugging-is getting an AI-driven overhaul, and KushoAI just secured $600K in pre-seed funding to push that vision forward. Antler India led the round, backing the startup’s bet that the grunt work of keeping software running is ripe for automation.
KushoAI’s multi-agent platform targets the unglamorous side of engineering: the upkeep that consumes most developer time but produces little new value. By automating those tasks, the company aims to free teams for work that actually moves the needle-a pitch that clearly resonated with investors looking for efficiency gains in a cost-conscious market.
