C3 AI Announces C3 Code

The Enterprise AI Development Platform That Turns Natural Language Into Production-Grade Applications

C3 Code automates the entire application lifecycle - turning enterprise data and domain-specific knowledge into governed, deployed AI applications in hours

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - April 8, 2026 - C3 AI (NYSE: AI), the Enterprise AI application software company, today announced the general availability of C3 Code, a new paradigm in Enterprise AI that combines autonomous agentic coding with the full depth of the C3 Agentic AI Platform.

We believe C3 Code will enable business analysts, developers, and data scientists to build production-grade Enterprise AI applications in hours. Describe your requirements in natural language, and autonomous agents handle the rest - designing, configuring, testing, and deploying AI applications that can deliver immediate business value.

"C3 Code changes everything," said Stephen Ehikian, CEO, C3 AI. "From this day forward, Enterprise AI is fully agentic, autonomous, intuitive, and fast. A single team member can describe a business problem in plain English and C3 Code delivers a complete, governed, production-grade AI application. This is not assisted development; it is AI designing and building Enterprise AI."

C3 AI conducted an evaluation¹ using Anthropic's Claude, which reviewed product documentation for each platform and scored C3 Code 9.2 out of 10 overall, the highest among OpenAI's Codex (6.0), Anthropic's Claude Code (5.2), and Palantir (7.7). C3 Code earned a perfect 10 in Domain Intelligence and led every dimension evaluated.

Key Capabilities of C3 Code

• 40+ Enterprise AI Applications & Packages: Pre-built assets for manufacturing, energy, financial services, defense, utilities, and healthcare encode decades of domain expertise and can accelerate time to deployment.
• C3 AI Type System: A unified abstraction layer connects enterprise data across sources, enabling applications to work with live, governed data.
• Production Domain AI Algorithms: Pre-built, validated machine learning models for common enterprise use cases, including anomaly detection, demand forecasting, predictive maintenance, and more.
• The C3 AI Corpus: Developer docs, API references, architecture blueprints, and community patterns - natively available to AI agents.
• Full-Stack Application Generation: Single natural language prompts produce data models, APIs, ML pipelines, agentic workflows, and user interfaces - a complete application, ready for production.
• Parallel and Sequential Agent Execution: C3 Code orchestrates multiple AI agents working simultaneously or in sequence, enabling complex enterprise workflows that span systems and data sources.
• Governed Deployment: Applications deploy through enterprise-grade pipelines with built-in security, role-based access control, and full audit trails.
• Open by Design, No Technical Lock-In: C3 Code is large language model agnostic, giving enterprises the flexibility to select and switch providers. Enterprises retain full portability of their applications, data, and models.

What Enterprise Teams Can Build with C3 Code

• Supply Chain Intelligence: A few prompts can deliver real-time inventory shortage detection across all global facilities with geospatial dashboards, ML scoring, and drill-down analytics. Production-grade Enterprise AI - formerly arduous - can now be built in hours.
• Global Parts Visibility: Generate a net-new generative AI application - ERP, logistics, freight, and supplier data ingested; RAG pipeline and planning agent configured; conversational UI with live tracking deployed. Development time drops from person-days or -weeks to hours.
• Asset Performance Optimization: Domain AI algorithms for anomaly detection and predictive maintenance can be configured and extended by AI agents - no data science team required.

"Executives evaluating Enterprise AI platforms face a core question: can their platform of choice reduce the time, cost, and risk of getting production AI into the hands of business users? C3 Code answers that question directly. What previously demanded a team of engineers and weeks to months can now take an analyst hours with C3 Code," said Nikhil Krishnan, CTO, Data Science, C3 AI.
