TL;DR

Gait is the open-source collaboration layer for AI codegen. With gait, developers can view the prompts that generated a piece of code, continue off of coworker's conversations, and view analytics on AI codegen use. Watch our demo here (1:35)

The Problems

AI codegen tools are built for individuals, not teams, and code is read more than it is written. Increasingly, understanding and editing become the limiting factors in a team’s velocity, not generation.

🧐 AI-generated code is hard to understand

• We use Cursor to ship quickly, but AI diffs are often destructive, large, and opaque. Prompts serve as automatic documentation.

📈 It’s hard to understand AI’s impact on your codebase

• gait is the first layer of observability, giving oversight into your and your team’s use of AI and its impact on productivity.

Our Solution

Code annotations - Have you ever been confused by a block of AI-generated code? Hover over any piece of AI-generated code to see the prompts that created it. It’s like a better git blame. Coming soon: Github integration.

Analytics on your AI Codegen - Use gait to analyse and understand your AI codegen usage. Find out your stats here: https://getgait.com/getting-started

Manage chats like diffs - choose which chats you’d like to include with git-like semantics. Stage and unstage chats, and view the chats associated with a commit or a PR.

Our vision

AI coding assistants are single-player right now and focus only on generating new code. AI coding tools produce flashy demos and v0s but are not as helpful for coding in production. We want to improve collaboration and the entire software lifecycle: not just generating code but also reviewing and editing it.

We also want to redefine the code repository - what would your repo look like if it were designed for AI? We think this means incorporating all the context AI needs to make edits. This includes your prompts right now, but imagine your SWE agent making edits with automatic access to design docs, Jira tickets, and API specs.

The Team

Hi everyone! We’re Alex and Kyle, the cofounders of gait.

We’re CMU and Columbia dropouts who met this summer while working at Jane Street. We’ve also worked at Stripe (Kyle) and Mercury (Alex).

Kyle’s looking for a squash partner, and you can find Alex at the 3rd Street Boxing Gym.
