Homie Never delay release again.

What is Homie?

Homie positions itself as an indispensable AI team member, engineered to enhance development team productivity and eliminate release delays. It operates primarily within Slack, integrating seamlessly with common development platforms like Github, Gitlab, and Trello, with more integrations planned. Homie provides instant insights into team performance through dashboards and Slack summaries, requiring zero configuration to get started. It can answer a wide range of questions, from task status and pull request details to team member progress and even writing changelogs.

Furthermore, Homie assists developers directly by explaining pull requests, suggesting solutions for tasks, and even writing code snippets based on contextual information gathered from Slack conversations, PRs, and tasks. It automates numerous routine activities such as identifying duplicate tasks, flagging unclosed issues, generating PR summaries, creating tasks from Slack messages, and sending daily progress reports. By centralizing information and automating repetitive processes, Homie aims to combat issues like timezone differences, knowledge silos, slow progress tracking, and communication overhead, ultimately saving significant engineering time and costs.
