Agen is a platform for fully autonomous AI coding agents that run in the cloud. You connect a Git repo, describe a task in plain English, and agents clone the code, explore the codebase, write changes, run the pipeline, fix CI failures themselves, and hand back a merge-ready pull request with a live preview — no IDE, no local setup, no babysitting. It supports multi-repo sessions, unlimited parallel agents, scheduled runs with budget limits, and mobile task assignment. Agen positions itself against IDE-bound copilots and single-repo agents by being cloud-native from day one, with flat $59/mo pricing versus metered competitors. Non-technical teammates can assign work while engineers keep merge control. New accounts get $20 in free credits, making it easy to test on a real codebase before committing.
SonarSource helps teams review, secure, and improve code quality, including code produced with AI assistants. Its analysis tools flag bugs, vulnerabilities, maintainability issues, and risky patterns before they reach production. Engineering teams can use SonarSource alongside AI coding workflows to keep generated code accountable instead of trusting assistant output blindly. It is best for developers, platform teams, and security-conscious organizations that want automated checks across pull requests and repositories. The unique value is pairing AI-era development speed with established static analysis and governance around code health. This makes it a practical safeguard for teams adopting coding agents while still needing clear standards, compliance signals, and human-review confidence.
We created autonomous AI Agents that monitor the stock market for you while you go about your day.<p>How it works: Tell our AI Assistant what you want to monitor, and it creates a project for our team of autonomous AI Agents. You'll get notifications (email + app) when significant events matching your criteria are detected. For short-term projects, you'll be notified when your analysis is ready.<p>Behind the scenes: When you give the AI Assistant a request to monitor an entity (like a stock or group of stocks), an AI Project Manager plans the project and breaks the project down into manageable tasks. These tasks run asynchronously - some recurring (hourly/daily/weekly/monthly/quarterly/yearly), others one-time.<p>Example prompts you can try: Long-term monitoring: - "Monitor Apple stock and notify me of any important events and red flags" - "Monitor Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Meta stock. Notify me if any of them start trending toward being undervalued"<p>Short-term analysis: - "Create a project to analyze the last 30 earnings calls for Tesla, spot trends, and how the business has evolved over time"<p>You can track the progress of all tasks as the AI Agents work in the background.<p>Try it here: <a href="https://decodeinvesting.com/chat" rel="nofollow">https://decodeinvesting.com/chat</a><p>This is still an early version - we're actively improving it based on feedback. Would love to hear what you think and what features you'd want to see next!<p>Previously shared our AI-powered Stock Market Research Analyst: <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41156478">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41156478</a>
Try it out
Paste a code snippet and get a complete interactive HTML page with a structured code review. The output covers security issues, performance bottlenecks, readability concerns, best practice violations, and actionable improvement suggestions — all organized in a clean, scannable checklist format with severity badges.
Business & strategyDescribe any recurring workflow — support triage, lead qualification, research ops, QA, reporting, or back-office reviews — and get a concrete AI agent deployment plan. The output maps the workflow into agent responsibilities, human approval points, tool access, permission scopes, failure modes, observability needs, and rollout phases. It is designed for teams that want to move from vague agent ideas to something production-ready without skipping governance.
Business & strategyThis prompt helps teams evaluate whether an AI agent feature is actually ready for real-world deployment instead of just looking impressive in a demo. It is designed for product managers, founders, operators, and technical leads who need to assess permissions, observability, spend controls, approval checkpoints, failure handling, and auditability before putting agentic workflows in front of customers or employees. The output turns a vague concept or existing workflow into a governance readiness audit with specific risks, missing controls, and prioritized improvements. That makes it useful when a team is moving from prototype to production, preparing for enterprise buyers, or trying to avoid expensive trust failures. It focuses on the operational layer that determines whether an agent can be governed responsibly, not just whether the underlying model is smart enough.
