Patched

Maker

👋 Hey Product Hunt! We’re Asankhaya and Rohan—ex-researchers and second-time founders—on a mission to help developers automate the repetitive tasks they dread. Fun fact: we went to grad school at competing universities, and then went on to build competing developer security tools! Even though we were competitors, we both saw how development teams spent as much as 35% of their time maintaining and managing code instead of building new features. And yet, they struggled to reduce technical debt and feature backlog. We built Patched to change that. Patched is an open-source workflow automation framework for development teams. It automates tasks like code reviews, documentation, and patching through customizable AI-enabled workflows that you control. What sets Patched apart is its ability to run autonomously in the background, taking tasks off your plate without constant oversight like in the case of coding assistants. You can build workflows in plain text or through our visual builder, and everything translates into Python code that you can inspect and modify. Plus, our patchflows are open-source, giving you full control, customization, and privacy—right down to integrating your own LLM APIs if you prefer. Our users range from fast-moving startups to large banks, who love that they can leverage AI on their terms rather than using blackbox solutions. We’d love for you to try Patched - and if you like it give us a star on Github repo!

@codelion great job building this, now I can see a lot of boring task getting streamlined with this workflow. Will share with the development team to give it a spin.

Now that we can do code reviews (beta) and create code docs via @codespace in cursor. What does a managed platform offer that cursor doesn't atm. ? Just curious, as this field is very new for everyone. Moving forward, do you think we might have both. Like local and at the remote end point on GitHub etc?

@codespace @sentry_co Good question, I think the fact that cursor, Github Copilot workspaces and other are trying to something for outer-loop development activities like code reviews and doc generation is a good thing. This shows that the problem space is interesting and worth solving. Our approach here is based on a easy to use drag-and-drop workflow builder that enables anyone to design and build complex workflows. Beyond the obvious do a pull request summary or add docstrings we believe developers will need more specific solutions. For instance, one of our customers today use us to analyze their existing closed PRs to determine the coding practices and generate a style guide. They then use that style guide to review other open PRs in the repo in another workflow. And, finally they have a separate workflow that resolves comments on those PRs. Building such a complex solution without patched would take quite a bit of time and effort which they avoid.

@codespace @codelion Nice scenario! Esp the backtracking part. Will give it a shot!

I've seen at least 3 tools like these launched in the last couple of weeks, and I think what sets this product apart is the ability to create custom workflows. This really unlocks what's possible for the dev teams. And thanks for sharing some awesome examples of how your customers are using your product! Congrats on the launch @codelion and team!
