CoreStory is a San Francisco-area AI startup building a persistent 'spec layer' for software. Its Code-to-Spec platform ingests legacy codebases - the COBOL and decades-old systems running banks, airlines, Social Security and Medicare - and turns millions of lines of undocumented code into living, queryable specifications that both humans and AI coding agents can read. Founded by Anand Kulkarni, the company raised a $32M Series A in October 2025 to make the world's aging software understandable again, reporting up to 50% reductions in development time and a Microsoft-validated 51% accuracy boost for AI agents fed its specs.
