The enterprise AI coding platform—tracked on Limito for companies building proprietary models and requiring self-hosted AI development infrastructure.
Poolside represents the enterprise answer to AI coding: a platform for companies that need AI development assistance but can't send their proprietary code to third-party APIs. Featured on Limito's specialized tools section, Poolside provides organizations with the infrastructure to train, deploy, and manage their own AI coding models on-premises or in private clouds. It's the choice for companies where "we send your code to OpenAI" is a non-starter for security, compliance, or IP protection reasons.
What makes Poolside important on Limito: The platform gives enterprises everything they need to build their own AI coding capabilities—model training infrastructure, fine-tuning pipelines, IDE integrations, and management dashboards. Instead of hoping generic AI models understand your company's specific frameworks, coding standards, and internal libraries, Poolside lets you train models on your actual codebase. The result is AI assistance that genuinely understands your organization's unique development environment.
The security model is comprehensive because Poolside was built for highly regulated industries—finance, healthcare, defense—where code never leaves the building. Everything runs in your infrastructure, using your compute, with your security policies enforced at every layer. The Limito community of enterprise architects particularly values that Poolside supports air-gapped deployments for organizations with strict isolation requirements. It's AI coding for contexts where SaaS isn't an option.
Limito's enterprise perspective: Poolside isn't for everyone—it requires serious infrastructure investment and isn't something you evaluate for a side project. But for large organizations that view AI coding as strategic infrastructure rather than a developer productivity tool, Poolside offers what public APIs cannot: complete control, IP protection, and models trained specifically on your codebase. The Limito community consensus is that Poolside represents where enterprise AI development is heading: proprietary models that understand your organization's specific context, running on infrastructure you control. It's expensive and complex, but for companies at scale with serious security requirements, it's the only viable path forward.
