Changes ready for your review↗
From a plain-language request to a reviewable change.
Less busywork. More building.
A helping hand across your workflow.
Work alongside an agent that can take action in a development environment.
Investigate & fix bugs
Ask an agent to trace a problem, inspect relevant code, and work through a potential fix.
Run tests & commands
Use a terminal to execute tests, inspect results, and iterate on code in a configured environment.
Understand a codebase
Get help navigating unfamiliar files, explaining how pieces fit together, and improving documentation.
Automate development
Run agents from the command line or connect them to repeatable engineering workflows and pipelines.
Make it your own
Self-host the platform, choose a compatible model, or use the SDK to build agents with your own tools.
You set the direction.
Capabilities depend on the model, tools, and access you configure. Review changes before using them.
