Appknox today added an ability to apply artificial intelligence (AI) to assess vulnerabilities in the binaries used to construct a mobile application and recommend a fix that can be passed on to an AI coding tool to implement. Company CEO Harshit Agarwal said KnoxIQ provides an AI copilot to more accurately assess how exploitable a vulnerability within a mobile application is versus relying on a generic Common Vulnerability Exposure (CVE) score. Once assessed, it then becomes possible to recommend the best way to remediate that vulnerability using whichever AI coding tool a software engineering team has adopted. The key difference is that Appknox is able to continuously analyze compiled applications based on runtime behavior rather than static code alone to provide more accurate detection of vulnerabilities, said Agarwal. While the degree to which application developers have adopted AI may vary, the one thing that is clear is the way vulnerabilities are patched is fundamentally ...
Zencoder today extended its artificial intelligence (AI) agent platform for generating code to include an offering that enables application developers to automate a range of tasks that go well beyond writing code. Company CEO Andrew Filev said Zenflow Work takes advantage of the core orchestration platform that Zencoder created to automate planning, reporting and communication tasks. In effect, it provides developers with a secure alternative to general-purpose OpenClaw AI agents in a way that is easier to deploy and manage, he added. Designed to integrate with Jira, Linear, Notion, Gmail, Google Docs, and other applications that support the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and OAuth interfaces, the overall goal is to enable application developers to more easily automate the routine tasks that today consume as much as three-quarters of their time, said Filev. For example, Zenflow Work can be configured to search the Jira project management application from Atlassian to discover any ...
