Unblocked raises $20M for AI to help devs understand codebases

Dennis Pilarinos, an expert in building developer tools with a background at Microsoft and Amazon, created an AI-powered tool called **Unblocked**, designed to help developers understand each other's code by answering contextual questions. The startup also integrates with platforms like Slack, Jira, and Confluence, offering admin controls for companies to streamline operations. With a focus on making codebases more accessible, Unblocked supports teams in analyzing metrics, finding contributors, and gaining insights. Backed by $20 million from B Capital and Radical Ventures, the tool is increasingly becoming essential as AI-driven tools proliferate in software development.
