Example questions

Ask Cody things like

Which PRs have been waiting on review for more than 2 days?

Summarise what changed in this repo this week and draft release notes.

Which GitHub Actions runs are failing right now, and what do they have in common?

Search this repo for auth-related changes and show me the PRs I should read first.

Use cases

What Cody does with GitHub

PR review and merge-queue copilot

Use an AI assistant with GitHub to summarise pull requests, show which reviews are blocking merge, explain likely blast radius from recent changes, and draft the update an engineering lead or PM actually needs.

Issue and bug triage assistant

Turn noisy GitHub issues and bug reports into cleaner engineering context by clustering duplicates, summarising customer impact, identifying likely owners, and keeping the backlog readable.

Release, Actions, and repo-context assistant

Ask Cody what shipped, which GitHub Actions runs are failing, what changed in a repo, or where a specific implementation lives, then get a useful answer in Slack instead of jumping between PRs, commits, Actions, and code search.

Track Cody's progress in taskboards that it creates for GitHub!

How it works

Tutorial

How to create a GitHub AI assistant

Build a fully customised GitHub assistant in minutes — no engineering required. Just drag, configure, and deploy.

Drag agents onto the canvas

Open Cody's visual canvas and drag pre-built agent blocks into your workspace. Choose a GitHub agent, a summariser, a notifier, or combine several. Each block is a self-contained AI worker that handles a specific job, so your assistant only does exactly what you need.

Set up your agent's skills

Give each agent the skills it needs. Connect your GitHub account, define what the agent should look for, and tune its behaviour with plain-English instructions, no code and no YAML. Cody handles the prompting and API calls for you.

About the tool

About GitHub

GitHub is where a lot of engineering context already lives: pull requests, issues, commits, releases, Actions runs, and discussion threads. That makes it one of the highest-leverage tools to put behind an AI assistant, especially if your team wants answers in Slack without hopping across repos and tabs.

Common
questions

What can Cody actually do with GitHub?

Cody can answer questions across your repositories, summarise pull requests and issues, surface stale review queues, explain what changed in recent commits, highlight failing Actions runs, and draft release or status updates, all from Slack.

Can Cody help with pull requests and code reviews?

Yes. Cody can summarise a PR, point out what changed, show what is still blocking merge, and draft reviewer or status updates. It does not replace human code review, but it removes a lot of the context-gathering overhead.

Can Cody track failed GitHub Actions and release risk?

Yes. Cody can monitor workflow runs, explain which jobs are failing, connect failures to the likely PRs or commits involved, and summarise whether a release looks blocked or ready to ship.

Can Cody search issues, commits, and code from Slack?

Yes. Cody can search the relevant GitHub context, including issues, pull requests, commits, discussions, and repository contents, then return the useful parts instead of dumping raw GitHub output into chat.

Does Cody replace GitHub or our existing engineering workflow?

No. GitHub remains the source of truth. Cody sits on top of it as a faster interface for answering questions, drafting updates, and helping the team act on engineering context without constantly switching tabs.
