"AI Native Github Alternative"
☕ tl;dr: Palmier is an AI tool that understands any codebase.
- Automates code reviews, bug detection, and code optimization and implements them for you.
- Context-aware code explanations and natural language code search.
By the time you finish reading this launch, you could’ve setup Palmier already! Reach out here and/or sign up to the waitlist here to get started.
Founded by Marcos Rico Peng & Harrison Tin
Marcos CEO (left), Harrison CTO (right)
The Palmier team consists of Marcos and Harrison, both graduates of UC Berkeley with degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. With experience working at big tech like LinkedIn and Microsoft, they started Palmier to tackle the productivity problems they personally faced while working there: large code review cycles, many review iterations, and onboarding never-ending codebases. They are both extremely passionate about improving software developers’ lives and are on a mission to make every developer do what they love doing most - building!
🔒 Problem
Developers spend only about 30% of their time actually building new features, with the rest of their day taken up by tedious but necessary tasks like understanding code, fixing bugs, and reviewing other people's code. And this only gets worse as the codebases and teams get larger. Furthermore, context switches get more frequent, and general productivity starts to decline.
🔑 Solution
Palmier tackles this by having an individually trained AI model for each unique codebase. This ensures the most accurate and precise understanding of the code.
Palmier lives in your GitHub repository, and thoroughly checks every PR request:
- Palmier automatically creates a concise yet precise description of the changes being made, trains on every past PR made, and opens issues for the most accurate context. No more guessing games trying to find why a change was implemented.
- Palmier scans your changes and suggests improvements: this can be as simple as variable name changes to more complex changes, such as performance optimizations. With a couple of clicks, you can implement these suggestions and commit them without leaving GitHub.
- Palmier will scan CI/CD issues and suggest fixes to failed tests that are related to the code changes (coming soon).
With Palmier chat, you can onboard any codebase 10x quicker. Whether it’s understanding what certain code does, how it interacts with other components, or where in your code a certain feature is implemented, Palmier gives you the most accurate answers and avoids hallucinating by always citing its sources.
