Sweep

Sweep is an AI code assistant that can turn GitHub issues into GitHub pull requests. Its purpose is to free developers from low-level work like tests, documentation and refactoring. It produces code at the level of entire repositories based on prompts.

Sweep can refactor code to make it more modular and easier to maintain. For example, it can split big functions into smaller ones. It also can write unit tests to catch broken business logic and fix it automatically. That means new code changes are tested before they're deployed.

People have reported big time savings using Sweep. For example, a junior developer would have taken two days to complete a task, but Sweep did it in a tenth of the time. People also have praised the AI code assistant for following coding standards, integrating with static analysis tools and giving fast feedback.

Sweep has several pricing tiers to accommodate different needs:

• Basic: Free, good for trying the service.
• Sweep Pro: $480 per month, good for small to medium-sized teams.
• Sweep Enterprise: Custom pricing for features like unlimited uses of the Sweep CLI, self-hosting and commercial SLA.

The tiers are designed for solo developers, small teams and large companies. The Enterprise tier, in particular, offers fine-tuned retrieval models, self-hosted and air-gapped backends and dedicated support.

Sweep is useful for maintaining legacy codebases, letting developers automate tedious work and concentrate on higher-level, more important projects. It's a good option for teams that want to improve their development workflow and code quality.
