Code repositories are built for humans to understand and collaborate on code. But soon, they’ll be used primarily by AIs working on our behalf. As this shift happens, the structure and processes around code must evolve.

At Palmier, we’re building a new kind of code repository designed for AIs. Every line of code has a history behind it, and we’re making that history accessible for AIs to create more efficient and reliable code, aligned with human intention.

Our first product is a platform that helps developers work seamlessly with AI, improving efficiency. We aim to provide an API for any AI to interact with code, giving it the information needed to produce better quality code.

### Company Launches

[### Palmier - AI that understands any codebase](



**☕ 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 to [founders@palmier.io](mailto:founders@palmier.io) and/or sign up to the waitlist [here]( to get started.

**🔒 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.



**🚀 The Team**
---------------



[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, we started Palmier to tackle the productivity problems we personally faced while working there: large code review cycles, many review iterations, and onboarding never-ending codebases. We are both extremely passionate about improving software developers’ lives and are on a mission to make every developer do what we love doing most - building! Feel free to reach out to any of us at any time! We'd love to chat.
