A16z-Backed Startup Codi Debuts AI-Powered Office Management Platform

Codi, a startup backed by Andreessen Horowitz (a16z), has officially launched an AI-driven office management platform designed to automate day-to-day logistics that typically bog down office operations. Founded by Christelle Rohaut and Dave Schuman, Codi transitions from being a flexible office space marketplace to offering a comprehensive AI SaaS product that manages vendor coordination, scheduling, pantry restocking, cleaning, and other essential office tasks autonomously.

The platform plugs into companies’ existing vendor networks and applies AI to monitor inventory, schedule recurring services, coordinate deliveries, and confirm task completion without human intervention. When exceptions arise, Codi routes these issues to the relevant on-site personnel with all necessary context, effectively acting as a full-stack AI “office operator” rather than just a management dashboard.

Codi’s debut comes at a time when office management roles have evolved dramatically in the hybrid work era; many companies experience stretched or unfilled office manager roles, while administrative overhead in office operations can exceed $80,000 annually. By automating routine coordination tasks, Codi enables teams to focus on high-value activities like culture building and employee engagement.

Betting on the post-pandemic return-to-office momentum, Codi reported rapid early adoption in its beta phase, reaching $100,000 in annual recurring revenue within five weeks and signing notable clients such as TaskRabbit and Northbeam. Pricing follows a subscription model, which Codi states can cost a fraction of hiring a full-time or part-time office manager, with a measurable return on investment through saved administrative hours.

The AI system is trained on years of operational data and built to be flexible enough to accommodate a company’s specific vendor list, service levels, and policies, all while maintaining customer vendor relationships. It distinguishes itself from legacy facilities management firms that require heavy human oversight and from workplace experience platforms that stop short of executing physical operations.

As offices increasingly seek streamlined, cost-effective solutions to manage logistics in a hybrid environment, Codi’s AI-powered platform offers a novel approach that promises to redefine how office ops are managed—quietly working behind the scenes with minimal oversight.

In summary, Codi’s launch of an AI office manager supported by a16z investment addresses a critical gap in modern office management, promising efficiency gains and cost savings. It exemplifies the growing wave of AI applications transforming routine workflows, enhancing workplace experience, and supporting the evolving hybrid work model.
