Google is rolling out enterprise access to a DeepMind AI agent for hunting and patching bugs, joining its peers in offering AI agents to fight off their bug-exploiting counterparts.

CodeMender was [first unveiled](https://www.thestack.technology/codemender-google-unveils-full-auto-security-patch-ai/) in October 2025 as an internal DeepMind project, but is now available [in preview](https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/identity-security/find-and-fix-software-vulnerabilities-with-codemender?ref=thestack.technology) via the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, or Google's new AI Threat Defence platform, launched after its 2025 [Wiz merger](https://www.thestack.technology/google-drops-cool-32bn-for-wiz-in-multicloud-security-play).

Cloud AI Product Management Director Clemens Viernickel said the "model-agnostic" tool (that currently only runs on Gemini models) will help fill a growing "remediation gap": "As AI models like Mythos are being ever more capable at identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities at unprecedented speed, companies need agents that can automatically generate code patches to match this new pace."
