Hey HN, we’re Robert and Sam. We’re building Alchemize, a code review platform that simplifies PRs to help you ship faster.Here’s a demo video: https://www.tella.tv/video/simplify-pr-reviews-with-alchemiz... Sample to try: https://app.tryalchemize.com/exampleAgentic coding has 10x’d code output. Teams are opening larger PRs more frequently, but the current tools don’t support this new coding paradigm. GitHub still presents files without structure.As engineers reviewing these massive diffs more frequently, we spent hours painstakingly reconstructing where changes began, mapping out data flows, and figuring out where human judgement is actually needed.Instead of adding another bug bot or just summarizing the PR, Alchemize analyzes diffs and pulls in prompting sessions to help reveal the author’s (human and agents) intent. PRs are broken down into smaller, manageable chunks that highlight exactly where the reviewer needs to jump in.After authorizing your GitHub account, Alchemize has a two way sync so that you never have to review an unstructured PR on GitHub again.We’ve been thinking a lot about whether helping human reviewers is the future of development, or if the trajectory of code review is to review less and less until it’s 0. Would love for y’all to give this a try and hear your thoughts.
