DAIV : SWE's AI Assistant

Software engineers spend countless hours on repetitive tasks: responding to code reviews, fixing broken builds, and manually implementing feature requests. DAIV changes this by bringing AI agents directly to their existing Git workflow. It's like having a pair programming assistant directly in your Platform.

DAIV is an open-source SWE AI Agent that automates development tasks. It integrates with your repositories to handle routine work, letting you focus on creative problem-solving.

🎯 What DAIV Does

DAIV automates three key software engineering activities:

• 🚀 Issue Resolution - Converts issue descriptions into working code automatically
• 🔄 Code Review Response - Addresses reviewer feedback and updates merge requests
• 🔍 Pipeline Repair - Repairs CI/CD failures and applies fixes after human approval

🛠️ How DAIV Works

DAIV integrates directly with Git platforms using webhooks. No separate interface required. You continue using your existing workflow while DAIV handles automation in the background.

Workflow Overview

DAIV responds to repository events with specialized workflows for each feature (Issue Addressor, Code Review Response, Quick Actions):

💡 Quick Example

Here's what a typical DAIV interaction looks like:

1. Developer creates issue: "Add rate limiting to the API endpoints"
2. DAIV generates plan: Analyzes codebase and posts detailed implementation steps
3. Developer approves: Comments "@daiv /approve-plan"
4. DAIV implements: Creates merge request with rate limiting code, tests, and documentation
5. Reviewer requests changes: "@daiv use Redis instead of in-memory storage"
6. DAIV updates code: Automatically modifies the implementation to use Redis

Result: Feature implemented in minutes, not hours.
