Intent-first diff insights for agents
Review intent and blast radius, not every line AI agents write
- Problem
- When most code is written by AI agents, line-by-line review is slow and low-value; reviewers need to grasp intent, key lines and blast radius first. Some have started moving PR review toward intent and impact analysis, but the workflow is still unformed.
- Solution
- Analyze the agent's diff before commit, summarize intent, flag critical and risky lines, list affected callers and tests, and produce a compact review brief for a human to confirm. Works alongside Git and common agent workflows to cut needless line-by-line reading.
- Users
- Developers using AI coding agents, tech leads in small teams, engineering teams that must vet agent output
- MVP
- Read git diff and summarize intent; flag key and risky lines; list affected files and callers; export a PR-ready review checklist; basic risk score
- Revenue
- Per-repository subscription; free tier for one repo and one user, paid team tier with CI integration
- Why now
- Agent-generated code volume is exploding and line review is becoming the bottleneck; tooling is exploratory but not settled, so a solo dev can own this niche workflow
