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 Workyard?
Workyard builds an AI-powered operations layer for construction crews: Time Assistant, geofence-triggered forms, and Shortcuts
Workyard is a construction workforce management platform that has deployed an AI Time Assistant for correcting timecards via natural language — now available to both admins and managers — and expanded integrations to Acumatica, Sage 100 Contractor, and QuickBooks Online (including time off). Smart Forms gained geofence and task triggers that fire automatically as crew members arrive on site. The Shortcuts feature lets foremen clock entire crews with one tap.

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.

Workyard builds an AI-powered operations layer for construction crews: Time Assistant, geofence-triggered forms, and Shortcuts
◆ Current state
Workyard is a construction workforce management platform that has deployed an AI Time Assistant for correcting timecards via natural language — now available to both admins and managers — and expanded integrations to Acumatica, Sage 100 Contractor, and QuickBooks Online (including time off). Smart Forms gained geofence and task triggers that fire automatically as crew members arrive on site. The Shortcuts feature lets foremen clock entire crews with one tap.
◆ Where it's heading
The platform is converging on eliminating manual data entry for field operations: the AI Time Assistant handles timecard cleanup, geofence-triggered forms handle compliance, Shortcuts handles crew clock-in, and integration exports handle payroll data transfer. Each new integration (Acumatica, Sage 100, QuickBooks) adds a payroll system that field hours can flow into without re-keying.
◆ Prediction
The Time Assistant will likely gain predictive capabilities — flagging anomalous time entries before payroll runs, not just correcting them after the fact. Expect more ERP integrations targeting mid-market construction companies.
