Onboarding Developers
Get new developers productive faster. AI teaches your standards through immediate, consistent feedback on every PR.
Time to productivity
For new hire PRs
Within first month
Same standards for all
The onboarding problem
New developer productivity takes too long
Slow ramp-up time
New developers take months to become productive. They don't know the codebase, patterns, or standards.
Senior dev time drain
Experienced developers spend hours mentoring instead of building. Every new hire costs senior productivity.
Outdated documentation
The wiki is stale. The style guide contradicts the code. New developers learn wrong patterns.
Inconsistent feedback
Different reviewers teach different things. New developers get confused by conflicting guidance.

Onboarding FAQ
Common questions about developer onboarding
New developers get instant feedback on every PR, learning your team's standards through practice. The AI explains why patterns are wrong, suggests alternatives, and links to resources—providing consistent, patient mentoring 24/7.
No! It handles routine feedback (style, common bugs, patterns) so senior developers can focus on high-value mentoring: architecture, design decisions, domain knowledge, and career guidance.
The dashboard shows learning curves: how violations decrease over time, which categories improve, and where developers might need extra help. Compare progress across cohorts to improve your onboarding process.
Yes! Create rules that apply only to new developers, with extra explanation and more lenient thresholds. Gradually increase standards as they gain experience.
Your team's patterns are encoded in custom rules with examples. When a new developer uses the wrong pattern, they see the right way to do it with your specific code examples.
Capture tribal knowledge in rules. When someone asks 'why do we do X?' the answer is in the rule. No more relying on the one person who knows the history.
