What is Snyk?
DeepCode AI is Snyk's purpose-built artificial intelligence system for secure development, powering the Snyk AI Security Platform and Snyk Code SAST tool. With 10 years of software development experience, it delivers the fastest, most accurate, and most comprehensive AppSec testing tools on the market. The tool finds, autofixes, and prioritizes vulnerabilities while managing technical debt across your codebase.
Key features include 85% accurate security autofixes via Snyk Agent Fix, hybrid AI combining symbolic and generative approaches to eliminate hallucinations, support for 19+ programming languages including Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, C/C++, Go, C#, and APEX, and 25M+ data flow cases in its knowledge base. DeepCode AI Search enables teams to write AI-powered queries with autocomplete to find semantic patterns in code and save custom rules. The tool also provides risk-based prioritization using context-aware scoring that assesses package popularity and code reachability.
DeepCode AI is designed for developers, security teams, and organizations seeking AI-powered code security without privacy drawbacks. It integrates seamlessly with IDEs like VS Code, JetBrains, and Visual Studio, as well as CI/CD tools and pull requests. The specialized model is built by top-tier researchers using training data from millions of permissively licensed open source projects with verified code fixes—never customer data—ensuring data privacy and trust.

Frequently asked questions about Snyk
What programming languages does DeepCode AI support?
DeepCode AI supports 19+ programming languages including Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, C/C++, Go, C#, APEX, PHP, Ruby, Rust, Scala, Swift, Objective-C, Dart, Flutter, Elixir, Groovy, COBOL, and Bazel. Full autofix support is available for Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, and Python, while Go, C#, C/C++, and APEX have limited autofix support.
How accurate are DeepCode AI autofixes?
DeepCode AI powers Snyk Agent Fix which delivers autofixes with 85% accuracy. The fixes are pre-validated and crafted by Snyk security experts, ensuring they are both secure and functional. The agentic architecture fuses frontier AI models with Snyk's proprietary security intelligence for better results than standalone models.
Does DeepCode AI use customer data for training?
No, DeepCode AI never uses customer data for training. The specialized model is built and refined by top-tier researchers using training data from millions of permissively licensed open source projects with verified code fixes. This ensures complete data privacy while delivering accurate AI code analyses and fixes.
What is DeepCode AI Search and how does it work?
DeepCode AI Search allows security and development teams to search their code for semantic patterns instead of just matching language tokens. Users write queries using DeepCode AI logic with autocomplete, leverage hybrid AI to instantly find matches, and can create, test, run, and save rules as custom rules for Snyk Code scans.
How does DeepCode AI prioritize vulnerabilities?
DeepCode AI supports Snyk's context-aware risk scoring that assesses the popularity of the affected package and the reachability of vulnerable code, while monitoring the maturity of available exploits. This risk-based prioritization eliminates noisy results and focuses on new, deployed, or publicly exposed code issues that are riskier or more relevant.
What IDEs and tools does DeepCode AI integrate with?
DeepCode AI integrates with Visual Studio Code, JetBrains plugins (IntelliJ IDEA and others), and Visual Studio extensions. It also works with CI/CD tools, pull requests, Bitbucket, GitHub, and GitLab. The Snyk IDE plugin enables scanning and autofixing code in seconds without breaking development rhythm.
What is the difference between symbolic AI and generative AI in DeepCode?
DeepCode AI uses hybrid AI combining symbolic AI and generative AI. Symbolic AI provides rule-based reasoning with high accuracy, while generative AI enables flexible pattern matching. Snyk's industry-unique process combines several machine learning methods with security researcher expertise to ensure high accuracy without hallucinations.
Can I create custom security rules with DeepCode AI?
Yes, DeepCode AI Search enables teams to create custom rules for their SAST scans. Users write AI-powered queries with autocomplete to find semantic patterns in their code, then save them as custom rules. Snyk also uses machine learning to build and maintain SAST rulesets by learning from open source projects, with security experts vetting rules for reliability.
Is there a free tier for DeepCode AI and what does it include?
Yes, Snyk offers a free tier at $0 per contributing developer with unlimited contributing developers. It includes 100 Snyk Code tests/month, 200 open-source tests/month, 100 container tests/month, 300 IaC tests/month, CLI and IDE integration, vulnerability detection, basic autofixes, and community support. Open source projects get unlimited free tests with no feature restrictions.
How does DeepCode AI handle AI security and LLM libraries?
DeepCode AI provides coverage encompassing 90% of all LLM libraries including OpenAI and Hugging Face. Snyk also addresses securing AI-generated code with hybrid AI—while LLMs like GPT-4 are powerful, it takes hybrid AI combining symbolic and generative approaches to tackle security effectively without the privacy issues and hallucinations of standalone AI models.
