AI-Powered Automation
Coderbuds agents continuously analyse your team's pull requests, reviews, deployments, and collaboration patterns. When they spot something that needs attention, they take action — nudging developers via Slack, posting to channels, commenting on PRs, or flagging high-impact decisions for your approval.
How Agents Work
1. Analyse
Agents run on a schedule, evaluating your team's PRs, reviews, deployments, and SPACE metrics.
2. Propose Actions
Each agent decides what actions to take: DM a developer, post to a channel, comment on a PR, or request approval.
3. Execute
Low-risk actions execute automatically. High-impact actions (like closing a PR) wait for your approval.
Enabling Agents
Navigate to Team Settings
Go to your team dashboard and open Settings → Agents.
Preview Before Enabling
When you toggle an agent on, a preview modal shows what actions it would take based on your team's current data — no actions are executed until you confirm.
Confirm & Enable
Once you're happy with the preview, confirm to enable the agent. It will begin running on the next scheduled check. To disable, simply toggle it off.
How You Get Notified
Agents communicate through four channels, each suited to different situations:
DM Digests
Rather than sending individual messages, agents consolidate all DMs into a single morning digest delivered via Slack between 9–11 AM in your local timezone. One message, all agent updates.
Channel Posts
Team-wide updates are posted to your team's Slack channel — workload summaries, recognition shoutouts, and deployment alerts. Limited to 3 posts per day.
PR Comments
Some agents comment directly on pull requests — for example, nudging a stale PR or coaching on PR size. Works with both GitHub and BitBucket.
Approval Requests
High-impact actions like closing a stale PR or auto-matching Slack users require explicit approval from a team member before they execute. Proposals expire after 24 hours.
Autonomy Levels
Each agent action has an autonomy level that determines how it's handled:
| Level | Behaviour | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Autonomous | Runs automatically. DMs are batched into the daily digest. | Nudging a developer about a stale PR |
| Notify & Act | Executes immediately and logs the action in the activity feed. | Posting a workload summary to the team channel |
| Propose & Approve | Creates a proposal that a team member must approve before it executes. Expires after 24 hours. | Closing an inactive PR after 21 days |
Activity Feed
Every action taken by an agent is logged in the Agent Activity section of your team settings. You can see what each agent did, when, and for whom — providing full transparency and an audit trail of all automated actions.
