Trelent is a small Canadian company that started as a documentation tool and grew into an enterprise AI chat product. The original product writes docstrings for Python, Java, JavaScript, and C# functions directly inside VS Code and JetBrains IDEs, reading a function's signature and body to produce a description that matches the language's native comment style.
The bigger part of the business now is Trelent's secure chat offering, aimed at companies that want employees to use Claude 3.5 and GPT-4o without sending data to a shared pool. Conversations run through Azure OpenAI with user-managed encryption keys and no retention after the session ends, and the company can deploy it to a public cloud tenant, a single-tenant instance, or fully on premise for regulated industries like finance and healthcare.
Trelent is a small team, well under ten people, competing against much larger enterprise AI vendors on the strength of its compliance story rather than feature breadth. Plans start around $75 a month, well above a free docstring tool but far below a typical enterprise security rollout.
