A side-by-side editorial comparison of Codility and Ever Gauzy — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
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.
Ever Gauzy gives its new inbox a settings UI, with each mailbox linked to an Ever Works agent.
Gauzy shipped v111.112.0 through v111.113.4 in about 20 minutes on October 17. The one user-facing feature is the first inbox UI: Settings → Inbox → Mailboxes, a My mailbox view, and a link from each mailbox to an Ever Works agent. The rest is a run of tightly scoped fixes in commerce modules: refund locking and ceilings, cart line pricing, return refunds, GraphQL guards on payment card data and organization scoping, plus checkout orders that keep cart discounts and taxes.

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.
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.

The inbox moved from backend plumbing (inbound pipeline, mailboxes, domains) to its first settings UI within a day, and mailboxes are being wired to Ever Works agents, which ties the inbox to the agents-as-employees work from earlier in the week. In parallel Gauzy is hardening a commerce stack (orders, payments, returns, marketplace settlements) through what look like structured review rounds tagged R2/R3. The versions move so fast that individual bumps say little; the direction lives in the feature commits.
Expect the inbox UI to grow past settings into reading and replying to mail, with agents assigned to mailboxes handling messages. The commerce review rounds look likely to continue as more R3 fixes.
