Incredibuild acquires Kypso to push AI-native pipeline acceleration
Incredibuild has acquired Kypso, a startup building context-aware AI agents for engineering teams. The move shifts Incredibuild from pure build acceleration into an AI-driven developer platform that speeds up the entire pipeline - testing, code scanning, and build times - across cloud and on-prem setups.
Kypso was founded in 2023 by former Snyk engineers Adam Gold and Tomer Ezer. Their agents plug directly into tools teams already use - GitHub, Jira, and Slack - so workflows improve without asking engineers to change habits or switch systems.
"We're doubling down on becoming a comprehensive platform for pipeline acceleration, as AI changes how code is written and shipped," said Shimon Hason, CEO of Incredibuild. He highlighted the need for next-gen build runners that can keep up with the volume of AI-generated code while keeping feedback loops tight.
"Our mission was always to speed up delivery by streamlining operations," said Adam Gold, Kypso Co-Founder and CEO. By joining Incredibuild, the team expects to bring those gains to far more engineers and expand what's possible in day-to-day software creation.
What this means for engineering teams
- Pipeline speed beyond builds: acceleration now spans test suites, SAST/DAST scans, and artifact builds - with orchestration and caching doing the heavy lifting.
- Agents where you work: AI sits inside GitHub, Jira, and Slack to triage, comment, open issues, and route work - all aligned with your existing processes and policies.
- Fits your environment: works across cloud and on-prem, so teams can meet performance, cost, and compliance requirements without replatforming.
- Built for volume: next-gen runners aim to handle larger code diffs and more frequent changes as AI coding assistance increases commit velocity.
How to prepare your pipeline now
- Audit bottlenecks: queue time, flaky tests, slowest jobs, cache hit rates, and "time to first signal."
- Make context machine-readable: standardize labels, PR templates, and commit conventions so agents act with precision.
- Set guardrails: code owners, approval rules, security gates, and clear scopes for bot accounts with full audit logging.
- Track the right metrics: PR cycle time, change failure rate, MTTR for failed pipelines, cache hit rate, and cost per successful build.
- Start small: pilot with test triage or code scanning automation, measure the before/after, then expand.
Kypso's approach meets developers in the tools they already trust. If you're mapping integrations, see GitHub Actions docs here and Jira Software here.
Why this move matters now
The volume of code is rising as more teams use AI assistants. Faster runners plus context-aware agents shorten feedback loops, reduce churn, and keep pipelines moving even as workloads grow.
This is Incredibuild's second acquisition in under a year, following Garden in November 2024. The Kypso team will lead Incredibuild's AI-native platform efforts, signaling a clear push to be the go-to partner for teams that need speed, quality, and predictability across the SDLC.
