Congrats on the launch! This is a such a useful use case of LLMs. I’m curious who typically owns the PR that Tusk creates?

@yeshc0907 Thanks Yesh! Typically, a PM or designer creates the ticket, but an engineer in the team ultimately reviews and decides whether to approve Tusk's PR and merge it into the codebase.

Congrats on the launch :) I’m curious what the most complex tasks are you’ve seen Tusk successfully solve? Also curious how far away you think we are from Tusk being able to fully replace a product engineer?

@rohan_varma1 thanks Rohan! While backend isn't the focus right now, we've recently used Tusk internally to write the backend code and LLM prompt to better handle code snippet selection when the AI agent addresses code reviews. We merged that PR with no human commits. Seems like we're still ~3 years away from coding agents being able to perfectly do the full job of a product engineer. The hard part isn't generating the code, it's actually finding all the relevant context and then reasoning through said context.

Tusk has been amazing for us at replo.app! Really cool to outsource busywork to an AI so that our engineers don’t have to waste time on stuff they shouldn’t need to

@noahsark769 appreciate the review Noah! @sohil_kshirsagar and I have really enjoyed working closely with you, Yuxin, and the rest of the Replo team 🤩 we're pumped to show you our upcoming automated testing features. Want to make this the best possible product for you.

Hi @marceltan Congrats on the launch! Seems like Tusk is a useful nice tool :) I created this shortlink for you that will send users directly to this PH page, in case you feel like the PH link is too long :) Here is the link: https://shor.tf/tusk-ph

@dake_zhang1 appreciate it Dake! Excited to see what you cook up. Let me know if I can support you in any way.

This is great! We've tried it at Canix and found it quite useful for our PMs and design team removing toast errors, disabling UI fields, adding warnings and tooltips, etc. Excited to continue using Tusk as it evolves!

@eric_van_egmond thanks for recommending us, Eric! Very excited to continue working closely with you and the Canix team to empower your PMs and Designers to create the most delightful ERP software in the market. Appreciate all the feedback you've provided us so far, as always we'll strive to serve Canix the best we humanly can. :)
Very cool! How do you prevent hallucinations when generating code?
Jun Yu
Maker
@rumiz Thank you Rumi! If hallucinations results in build errors or lint issues, we fix them with a GitHub workflow that automatically addresses these feedback. To guard against syntactic hallucinations, we check the code against an abstract syntax tree. For "reasoning" hallucinations, we do our best to avoid them by using an abstract semantic graph and long-term memory (Tusk's merged and closed PRs on your tickets over time).

We love Tusk and the Tusk team. Tusk was the coding assistant tool we tried and we were taken back by its performance for small linear tickets we just needed to get done. Thank you for the shoutout! 🚀

@justintorre thanks for the support Justin! The love is mutual. Had to shout out Helicone because y'all have made it much easier for us to debug LLM performance issues, which is so important for building an agentic product. Onwards! :D

This seems pretty useful - i'd imagine I would use it at my previous job. Good luck on launching!

@milton_ren thanks for the support Milton! Good to know that the pain point and solution resonates.

@marceltan @sohil_kshirsagar @jytan Congratulations on the launch of Tusk! It was a pleasure partnering with your team during the beta phase and witnessing the incredible evolution of the product. Tusk has come a long way, and I believe it will be a game-changer for lean teams building products. What companies or types of teams do you see benefitting the most from Tusk?
Marcel Tan

@sohil_kshirsagar @jytan @adam_anzuoni1 Adam! Thanks for your support. The pleasure is ours -- we've really enjoyed working with you and Mike in implementing Tusk. Appreciate your willingness to experiment with using Tusk for new use cases! We typically see that cross-functional product teams at mid-market B2B2C or consumer marketplace companies get the most benefit out of Tusk. These teams get a constant stream of product quality tickets (customer bugs, UI polish issue) and have enough of a process where engineering bandwidth is a protected resource. Tusk allows their PMs/engineers to outsource these tickets.
