Tusk (YC W24) - Make UI improvements with AI

@alexdigitalmkt good to know Alexandre! Give Tusk a spin for Videco, I'll check back in to get your feedback

@zvonimir_sabljic1 thanks for the support Zvonimir! Y'all are doing some great work with automated test generation at Pythagora

@angela_ni2 thanks Angela! Good questions. Regarding data security: we will not use your source code to train our models nor will it be accessible to any of our other customers. Tusk stores non-readable embeddings of the files in your synced repos, not the files themselves. If requested, we can block specific directories from being synced such that Tusk never gets access to embeddings of files in those directories. When Tusk needs to view a full file, our agent fetches the file from the GitHub API at runtime without permanent storage on our servers. More details in our Privacy Policy: https://usetusk.ai/privacy We don't tailor for a specific industry but rather for a specific stack. We've found that modern fintech companies and consumer marketplaces generally have a stack that Tusk is well-suited for.

@sebdeb thanks so much for the recommendation Seb! You've been a joy to work with on implementing Tusk at Genie. Many of our recent features (e.g., memory of code reviews, past PRs as context) have been directly inspired by you and the team's feedback. We'll keep striving to make the best possible product for you.

@raymond_huang5 thanks for the support Raymond! Keywords AI is moving fast 🏃💨

@pascal_wieler thanks for the support Pascal! Tusk does support UI improvements that require changes in multiple files. Our agent also understands the dependencies between those files. 5 files and under is the sweet spot for more complex UI changes. For more straightforward tasks (e.g., replace a term across files), Tusk can reliably generate code for up to 15 files. If Tusk determines that it cannot complete a ticket or fails an automated check, it will fail gracefully by 1) creating a branch or draft PR with its progress instead of a ready-for-review PR, and 2) add engineering advice to the ticket as a jumping-off point for the assigned engineer. As for verifying that Tusk's changes work, the agent runs your lint/build/test checks to catch and auto-fix errors. We have a big new feature coming soon, which enables Tusk to do automated sanity tests on preview environments. More to come on that!

@copaceticd thanks so much Dan! It's been a joy for @sohil_kshirsagar and I to be working with you to get PRs merged for Prefix. Excited to share some upcoming features related to automated testing with you very soon!

@arnab @lihong_hicken thanks for the share Lihong! Happy to answer any questions that you may have about Tusk.

@kathryn_wu1 hey Kathryn, we fix build errors and lint issues caused by hallucination with a GitHub workflow that allows Tusk to auto-iterate based on the error logs. To prevent syntactic hallucinations, Tusk checks its code against an abstract syntax tree. To mitigate reasoning hallucinations, we have Tusk refer to an abstract semantic graph of the codebase and long-term memory of past PRs and code reviews before deciding the best course of action.

@ema_elisi Yes! It takes 1 minute to integrate Tusk with Jira. We don't currently support Asana but that's on the roadmap for us. Even without the project management app integration, users can create issues for Tusk directly from our web app. Hope that helps, Ema.
