About Us
Git AI was created on July 4th, 2025 by two friends — Aidan Cunniffe and Sasha Varlamov — who were trying to figure out if coding agents were actually making them more productive.
The analytics dashboards on Cursor, Claude Code, and Copilot knew what was generated, but couldn't tell you what got committed, what got through a PR, and what was still holding its weight in production after a few weeks.
You can't answer those questions with OpenTelemetry or analytics — you need to plug into Git. You need to track AI code through the entire SDLC.
Having real data helped the pair learn how to prompt better, optimize their codebases for agentic development, and learn where and how coding agents can be used productively.

About the Company
We started Next Element to fund the development of Git AI and support the many enterprises who rely on the open source and commercial offerings.
We work out of an office in SoHo, NYC, and are backed by some amazing CTOs and leaders from the coding agent companies, labs, and some of our favorite developer tools.
