What is Codility?
Codility rebuilds technical assessment around the AI-era engineer
Codility has reoriented its technical-assessment platform around AI on two fronts: measuring how candidates work with AI (an AI Copilot inside interviews, an AI Readiness assessment framework) and establishing authority on evaluating AI-generated code (the COMPASS benchmark). Recent posts also cover the defensive side — detecting AI-assisted cheating and holding to SIOP validity standards.
What is Envoy?
Envoy doubles down on automatic, Wi-Fi-based workplace presence detection.
Envoy runs workplace, visitor, and emergency-notification operations for offices. The recent stretch is dominated by automatic presence detection — new Meter Wi-Fi and Microsoft Intune integrations that infer who is on-site from network connections instead of badge-ins — alongside steady breadth work across visitors, analytics, and emergency comms.

Codility rebuilds technical assessment around the AI-era engineer
◆ Current state
Codility has reoriented its technical-assessment platform around AI on two fronts: measuring how candidates work with AI (an AI Copilot inside interviews, an AI Readiness assessment framework) and establishing authority on evaluating AI-generated code (the COMPASS benchmark). Recent posts also cover the defensive side — detecting AI-assisted cheating and holding to SIOP validity standards.
◆ Where it's heading
The company is shifting from testing raw coding skill toward measuring AI-era engineering skill, betting that judgment about AI collaboration and code quality is the durable value as raw code generation commoditizes. COMPASS doubles as research credibility and a positioning moat.
◆ Prediction
Expect AI Copilot and AI-readiness assessments to move from blog and research framing into packaged product offerings, and COMPASS to expand its problem set or get repositioned as a buyer-facing tool for comparing models.
Envoy
5.0HR
Envoy doubles down on automatic, Wi-Fi-based workplace presence detection.
◆ Current state
Envoy runs workplace, visitor, and emergency-notification operations for offices. The recent stretch is dominated by automatic presence detection — new Meter Wi-Fi and Microsoft Intune integrations that infer who is on-site from network connections instead of badge-ins — alongside steady breadth work across visitors, analytics, and emergency comms.
◆ Where it's heading
Envoy is investing hard in passive, integration-fed presence data: Meter and Intune join Meraki and Aruba as ways to detect on-site employees without manual steps. Paired with faster analytics refreshes and an integrations health dashboard, the platform is positioning presence accuracy as the foundation other workplace features build on.
◆ Prediction
Expect more Wi-Fi and MDM presence sources plus tighter reporting on the data they generate; the near-real-time dashboard refresh suggests presence-driven analytics is the next surface to mature.
