Blitzy, a new startup using AI copilots to automate coding, has raised $4.4 million.

Based in Boston, Blitzy comes from the Harvard Innovation Lab and builds software for companies to automate their workflows, such as generating personalized policies for an insurance provider.

The startup uses AI copilots that, it says, can reduce the time taken to create enterprise applications from what is usually a monthslong process. It compares the process to an airline autopilot, with specific human-led actions accompanying heavy lifting by software.
