CodeWords Raises $9M to Deploy Proactive AI Business Agent Cody Across European SMEs

London-based CodeWords has raised €7.6 million in a seed round led by Visionaries, with participation from Firstminute Capital, Sequel, and Illusian, alongside angel investors including the CEOs of Miro, ElevenLabs, Personio, Zalando, and Supercell, plus leaders from OpenAI and Mistral.

Founded by Aymeric Zhuo and Osman Ramadan, the company builds Cody, an AI agent that learns a business’s tools, goals, and patterns from day one and proactively executes tasks without requiring code or technical setup. Cody already handles 500,000 monthly tasks for one automation agency client, running across thousands of integrations including WhatsApp.

Alongside the raise, CodeWords is launching contextual memory, WhatsApp support, and adaptive execution modes. The company evolved from AI research lab Agemo, which appeared in the ARC-AGI benchmark alongside OpenAI in late 2024.
