Codya

What Codya does

Codya sp. z o.o. is a privately held, bootstrapped AI/ML software company founded in 2019 and headquartered in Kraków, Poland. It develops and deploys custom machine-learning solutions for Mittelstand enterprises in the DACH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), with a stated specialization in two domains: Video Analytics (transforming existing camera infrastructure into intelligent sensors for safety, quality control, logistics and security) and AI Agents (intelligent process automation for document handling, compliance checks, and multi-step workflows across ERP/CRM systems). The technical stack includes custom fine-tuned computer-vision models (notably a RF-DETR model tuned for PPE detection reaching 91.3% mAP), a Retrieval-Augmented Generation pipeline for document analysis, and multimodal capabilities across text, image, video, audio, and structured data.

Codya commercializes through three engagement structures: fixed-price AI/ML Proofs of Concept (typically 2–6 weeks) as a low-risk entry point, time-and-materials Custom AI/ML Solutions for full deployment, and a subscription-based Managed AI Services tier for ongoing monitoring, retraining, and SLAs. The go-to-market is consultative direct sales with a sales-led, enterprise-field motion; the company notes that 80% of projects extend into multi-year collaborations. Named enterprise clients include Basler AG (with multiple engagements including pylon AI since July 2022 and the Siemens Industrial Edge-integrated Basler Vision Connector), CRIF (KYC More for bank customer validation since January 2020, 50+ months ongoing), and Lekta AI (debt-collection automation). Recent internal R&D products — the ESG AI Assistant (RAG-driven ESG report Q&A) and Safety Guard AI (PPE compliance monitoring) — point to an evolving mix of project services and productized offerings, though Codya remains primarily a custom-solutions firm rather than a packaged-software vendor.
