AI coding agents

AI coding agents that open pull requests.

GATE's AI coding agents work the way a careful developer does: your agent turns a request into a GitHub issue, a coding session builds it in its own copy of the repository on its own branch, and the work comes back as a pull request that is reviewed before it is merged. A site hosted on GATE deploys on every merge. On GATE, a certificate platform with 239 active sites has anything reported triaged in under a minute.

I filed it as an issue and started a coding session on its own branch. It found the cause in the form's styles.

The pull request is open with 2 files changed. I reviewed the diff and the button works at phone width.

Merged. Your site deploys from main, so the deploy has started.
How it works

How do AI coding agents work in GATE?

Every change takes the review path a careful developer would use.

01

Ask in plain language

Tell your agent what you want built or fixed. It writes the request up as a GitHub issue, so the intent is on record before any code changes.

02

A coding session builds it

The session works in its own copy of the repository on its own branch. You can watch it live in the chat's code session window and stop it at any time.

03

It opens a pull request

The work comes back as a pull request on your repository. The session reviews its own diff before your agent merges, and your repository's own branch rules still apply.

04

A merge deploys it

A site hosted on GATE deploys every push to its deploy branch, merges included, and runs database migrations before it starts. Undo is a git revert.

05

Small fixes, only when you say so

A one-line fix goes straight onto the main branch only when you explicitly say inline, and never for database changes, sign-in, billing or anything touching more than a couple of files.

Can an AI coding agent push to my main branch?

Not by default. There are two paths, and the pull request is the default.

Which path a change takes

Pull request unless you say otherwise.

Features and fixes
Database changes
A one-line fix you approve

Pull requests are the default for everything. Inline, straight onto the main branch, needs your explicit word and never covers database changes, sign-in or billing.

Rules every change follows

Built into how GATE runs code work.

Work happens in its own copy of the repository, on its own branch
The session reviews its own diff before a merge
You can watch every session live and stop it
Database changes, sign-in and billing never skip the pull request
Every deploy is logged with its trigger, commit and duration

What can AI coding agents build and fix?

Coding is one job. The tools around it are GATE's own.

Build

Features and fixes

From a sentence to an issue, a branch and a pull request, on your repositories connected to GATE.

Host

Deploys on every merge

A GATE Site runs your app with its database, cache and storage, deploys every push to the deploy branch and restarts a service that stops answering.

Map

A map of your codebase

Every file, class, function and import, grouped into areas with plain summaries and tours, and a coding session in a mapped repository is told the map exists.

Edit

Change a live page by pointing

Point at an element on your real page, your agent edits it while you watch, and building turns it into a pull request for a site on GATE.

Test

Security tests of your own app

A security agent tests your own application inside the scope you set, verifies each finding before reporting it and retests after your fix.

Plan

A task board for people and AI

One board your team and your agent share, where tasks are created, claimed and completed and can be attached to the chat they came from.

AI coding agent, a hired developer or a code assistant?

FAQ

Straight answers.

What are AI coding agents?

AI coding agents are AI agents that write and change code themselves instead of only suggesting lines. In GATE, your agent turns a request into a GitHub issue, starts a coding session that builds it in its own copy of the repository on its own branch, and the work comes back as a pull request that is reviewed before it is merged.

Can an AI coding agent push to my main branch?

Not by default. GATE's coding sessions always work on their own branch and open a pull request. A small fix goes straight onto the main branch only when you explicitly say inline, and GATE's rules keep database changes, sign-in, billing and anything touching more than a couple of files on the pull request path.

Who reviews and merges the code?

The coding session reviews its own diff first. Your GATE agent then merges, and only once the required checks pass: a failed check stops the merge, and checks still running hold it for up to 6 hours. GitHub's branch rules apply to the account GATE merges as, and admins skip classic branch protection unless you turn that off. You can watch any session live and stop it, and a revert undoes a merge.

Does GATE deploy the code too?

Yes, if your app runs as a GATE Site. GATE deploys every push to the deploy branch, merges included, runs database migrations before the app starts, restarts a service that stops answering and logs every deploy with its trigger, commit and duration. GATE has no rollback button: a git revert is the undo.

Can an AI coding agent audit my website?

Yes, in three ways. GATE's agent can run and save an SEO audit of your site with GATE's own analytics tool, map your codebase with eight snag rules such as long functions and unused files, and run a security test of your own application inside the scope you set. The fixes then take the normal path: an issue, a branch and a pull request.

Does the agent understand my existing codebase?

It can start from a map. GATE builds a codebase map of every file, class, function and import, grouped into areas with plain-language summaries and guided tours, and a coding session started in a mapped repository is told the map exists and how to read it. Without a map, the session reads the code it needs as it works.

Do I need a developer to use GATE's coding agents?

Not to write the code. You describe the change in plain language, and GATE's agent files the issue, runs the coding session and explains the pull request. Someone still decides what ships: your agent merges only after review and green checks, and a GitHub rule that requires a person's approval, and also binds admins, keeps that decision with you.

What can't GATE's coding agents do?

GATE's coding agents do not give you preview environments per pull request, autoscaling or backups, and GATE has no one-press rollback: a revert is the undo. Coding sessions work on repositories connected to GATE, and GATE does not run continuous integration for your repositories, so your existing tests and checks stay where they are.

How do I start with AI coding agents on GATE?

GATE is invite only right now while it onboards a small number of businesses. Once you are in, an owner of your organization approves the GATE GitHub App once, your repository is connected as a site, and you ask your agent for the first change in plain language.
