Trag is now part of Aikido
Why does this matter? Because software is changing fast.
AI changed how we write software. Developers are no longer just writing code, they’re reviewing and shaping a flood of AI-generated code. Code review is the chokepoint, and it must evolve.
The old playbook doesn’t work. Legacy scanners rely on 20,000 brittle regex rules. They still miss critical issues. Human reviews drain time and don’t scale.
But here’s the bigger point: code quality and security aren’t separate problems.
Bad naming, unreadable functions, or sloppy logic don’t just slow teams down, they create long-term security risks. If your codebase is hard to read, it’s hard to secure. Bad code becomes insecure systems.
GenAI accelerates this. Developers ship more code, faster, with subtle risks that slip past humans and scanners. The attack surface grows faster than security teams can keep up. The solution isn’t limiting AI code, it’s building the infrastructure to make it safe. As Trag’s CEO Khachatur put it, “We didn’t make cars smaller so they could squeeze between trees, we built roads so we could drive them everywhere. AI code generation is the car. Together, we’re building the road.”
Trag stood out because their LLM-native approach to code review. Their engine reviews code like a senior engineer, understanding context across the whole repo, not just a single file. It reasons about logic, readability, and performance, not just whether a string looks like SQL injection.
The Trag team officially joined Aikido earlier this summer. Together, we’ve built out Aikido Code Quality: AI-native, developer-friendly, and available for early access today.
Users can now:
- Enforce “tribal knowledge” as actual rules, so new hires (or AI copilots) don’t repeat old mistakes
- Team conventions as code. Say what “good” looks like in plain language and enforce it at review time
- Catch subtle risks that scanners miss
- Get feedback in PRs that developers actually act on, not noise they ignore
Here’s what this means for teams:
- Developers get actionable, AI-driven feedback in plain English.
- Security leaders get assurance that cleaner code means lower long-term risk
- Teams finally get one system that connects quality, security, and cloud defense end-to-end
- Fewer tools. One view for code, apps, and cloud reduces context switching, audit overhead, and things that slip through gaps
Aikido now unifies code quality, application security, and cloud security into one platform built for the speed of AI.
Quality code is secure code. That is the bar we are setting.
Welcome to the team, Khachatur V., Hovhannes Ghevondyan, Movses Saponjyan & Feliks Markosyan.
Get early access to Aikido Code Quality here. Join us next week for a LIVE session on the future of code review with Aikido CEO Willem Delbare and Trag CEO Khachatur V.
