What counts as AI coding
A company joins this map when its own site describes AI coding as its main product and an independent source confirms it. Out of scope: general model labs, coding features inside big platforms such as GitHub Copilot or Amazon Q, and developer tools where AI is a feature rather than the product. Definitions are versioned; this is version 1. Corrections need a public source: see Contact.
