About Us

Diffblue is a pioneering Generative AI for Code company with a mission to change the way software is written

Diffblue Cover

Diffblue Cover, the company’s first product, autonomously writes unit test code for Java applications to enable development teams to deliver higher quality software, faster.

Diffblue customers include JP Morgan Chase, Citi, Goldman Sachs and Amazon Web Services.

Origins

Diffblue spun out of the AI research group at the University of Oxford and delivered its first software that writes software in 2020. Investors include IP Group, AlbionVC, Goldman Sachs, Oxford Science Enterprises, and Oxford University. Diffblue is headquartered in Oxford, UK.
