Automations
Run coding agents in the background, on a schedule or triggered by events. A Sentry error gets fixed within seconds. Docs stay in sync with your code. Security vulnerabilities get caught before they become problems. Each automation runs in a secure sandbox with full codebase and repository access and your configured MCP servers.

Triggers

These are just examples to give you a rough idea. You decide how to set this up, there are no limitations.

Scheduled

Run automations at regular intervals.
ScheduleExample
HourlyMonitor for CI failures, new Sentry errors
DailyGenerate changelogs, post standup summaries
WeeklyClean up stale TODOs, security scans
MonthlyDependency audits, documentation reviews

Event-driven

React to events from your integrations in real-time.
IntegrationEvents
GitHubPR opened, PR merged, issue created, comment added
GitLabMerge request opened, merged, issue created
