Snyk DeepCode AI
The AI engine behind Snyk Code scanning and Snyk Agent Fix
Overview
DeepCode AI is the AI engine inside Snyk, built on DeepCode, a 2016 ETH Zurich spin-off Snyk acquired in 2020. It powers Snyk Code's static analysis, custom rules through DeepCode AI Search, and Snyk Agent Fix (formerly DeepCode AI Fix), which moved to an agentic, LLM-based design in May 2026.

Use cases
What you can produce with Snyk DeepCode AI
- Static code scanning in the IDE, CLI and pull requests through Snyk Code
- Verified fix suggestions from Snyk Agent Fix, re-scanned before they are shown
- Custom detection rules written and tested with DeepCode AI Search
- Risk-based prioritisation using reachability and exploit maturity
- Dependency, container and infrastructure-as-code scanning from the same platform
- Merge checks that flag newly introduced vulnerabilities in pull requests
DeepCode AI gives Snyk Code fast in-IDE scanning and fix suggestions that are re-scanned before you see them, and the May 2026 move to an agentic Agent Fix that retries failed fixes is a sensible design. Custom rules are possible through DeepCode AI Search, and the free plan is enough to try it properly.
It only makes sense inside the Snyk platform, enterprise pricing is now credit-based and harder to compare, and the company is mid-transition after a CEO change and a 20% workforce cut. Good for teams already on Snyk; others should trial it against alternatives.
What we found
DeepCode AI is the AI engine inside Snyk rather than a product sold on its own. DeepCode began as a 2016 spin-off from ETH Zurich that analysed code with machine learning; Snyk announced the acquisition in September 2020, and at its June 2023 launch event reintroduced the technology under the DeepCode AI name as the engine behind Snyk Code, its static application security testing (SAST) product. Snyk says the engine combines symbolic and generative AI, covers more than 19 languages and is trained on permissively licensed open source, never customer code. Teams can write their own rules with DeepCode AI Search, which contradicts this page's earlier claim that Snyk Code had almost no custom-rule support.
The fix feature has a new name. What was DeepCode AI Fix is now Snyk Agent Fix, and Snyk's documentation says it moved to an agentic architecture in May 2026. It pulls human-written fixes for the same weakness from a database of more than 35,000 examples, prompts a large language model, rescans every candidate with Snyk Code and retries when a fix fails. Snyk still tells developers to review each suggestion, and the accuracy figures it publishes for the new design are its own.
The company around it is in transition. In February 2026 chief executive Peter McKay announced plans to step down so Snyk could bring in a leader with deeper AI experience. Job cuts followed in June: first reported at about 90, they came to roughly 203 people, about a fifth of the workforce, according to a Companies House filing reported by Tech.eu, and Globes reported a heavy hit to the Israeli development centre. Snyk now markets an AI security platform, with agent-security products under the Evo name.
Pricing has changed too. The free plan covers dependency, code, infrastructure-as-code and container scanning with monthly test caps, 100 for Snyk Code. Team starts at $25 a month, billed monthly, for up to 10 developers. The old Ignite tier is gone; enterprise is now a prepaid credit subscription.
