The Bot Marketplace is Here

6 February 20263 min readWritten by Eban Escott

The Marketplace has landed in CodeBots Platform 6.0.0, making it easier to discover, install, and reuse bots across teams. It’s a big step toward turning scattered AI experiments into repeatable, governed outcomes.

Today we’re shipping CodeBots Platform 6.0.0. It’s a major release that introduces the Marketplace, a new way to discover, publish, and reuse bots across teams and organisations.

If you’re building with AI across multiple teams, you’ve probably felt the pain. Great ideas spread quickly, but standards, consistency, and shared learnings don’t always follow.

The Marketplace in CodeBots

The Marketplace is a step toward fixing that by making bots discoverable, reusable, and versionable. This release also includes a developer-friendly v2 API, an overhaul of core data structures and the database, and a stack of documentation improvements to help teams get productive faster.

Why we built it

There’s a big difference between vibe coding and shipping software sustainably.

Our view: don’t let your teams “vibe code” their way into chaos. Use AI, but do it with structure, consistency, and quality.

Vibe coding can be a great accelerant, but inside an enterprise it often leads to:

  • One-off experiments that never become repeatable
  • Teams solving the same problems in parallel
  • A lack of shared “memory” (patterns, guardrails, and reusable assets)
  • Faster output, but more drift in architecture and quality

Our goal with CodeBots 6.0.0 is simple: help teams scale AI responsibly. That means making it easy to install bots that encode standards, share them across the org, and keep them up to date.

Strategic outcomes

The Marketplace is the mechanism; the outcomes are what matter:

  • Scale AI responsibly with repeatable automation and guardrails
  • Accelerate delivery by reusing bots instead of rebuilding them
  • Reduce technical debt by standardising the approaches that get shipped
  • Enable self-service so teams can install bots that match your approved stack

What you can do today

Here’s what CodeBots 6.0.0 unlocks right now:

  1. Discover bots in the Marketplace with richer metadata and better browsing/search.
  2. Publish and share bots across teams and organisations.
  3. Version bots so you can reuse them safely (and upgrade intentionally).
  4. Get productive quickly with improved onboarding paths.

How it works (high level)

The mental model is:

Marketplace → Bot → Pipelines/Workflows → Reuse

In CodeBots terms:

  • A Bot is a collection of models, repositories, and pipelines.
  • The Marketplace is a shared catalogue for publishing, discovering, and reusing bots across organisations.
  • A Pipeline is a sequence of automated steps that process inputs and produce an outcome.

Practically, that means you can standardise how work gets done (and how it gets repeated), without forcing every team to reinvent the same tooling.

What’s next

This release lays the foundation for Marketplace-scale reuse. Next, we’re focused on making adoption easier, enabling commercial workflows, and improving the end-to-end building experience.

What we’re actively working on:

  • A Partner Program and payments integration so publishing and adoption can scale commercially. See Partner Program
  • A new docs experience for publishing paths for bots, so sharing knowledge and onboarding stays frictionless
  • Getting back onto ChatStudio and AI, with better workflows for designing and delivering with bots
