Engineering costs more every year. The roadmap still slips.
Most of your engineering budget goes to keeping the product running: bug fixes, support tickets, upgrades. What's left goes to the roadmap, and it's never enough.
Dev Bench takes on the upkeep. It watches the app and your customers, files each problem as an issue, and drafts fixes and features as pull requests. Your team approves everything that ships.
$604,800 a year
spent keeping the lights on by a team of 8 developers, at $180,000 a year per developer and 42% of their time.
It's not an engineering problem. It's the business.
- the roadmap
The dates slip, every quarter.
Engineering commits to the roadmap, then spends most of the quarter on bug fixes, support and upgrades. The board hears why, again.
What the bench does: It takes on the upkeep: problems triaged and filed, fixes drafted as pull requests, so the team’s week goes to the roadmap.
- the budget
The team costs more and ships less.
Every year engineering asks for more headcount. Each hire adds a little capacity and a lot of overhead, and the backlog still grows.
What the bench does: AI developers pick up the work and open pull requests with tests, for a fixed monthly price. Your team decides what merges.
- the customers
Customers stop telling you.
Most complaints never become tickets. Users hit the same broken page for months, work around it, and the first sign is a renewal that doesn’t come back.
What the bench does: It notices when users don’t get what they wanted, and they can report problems in your app and hear back in the same thread.
- the requests
Feature requests go into a hole.
Sales and support pass requests along. Nobody hears back, so they stop asking, and you learn what customers wanted from the churn survey.
What the bench does: Staff and users ask in the chat or in Slack, get a pull request, and hear back when it ships (V2).
- the tools
Another dashboard won’t fix it.
The team already has more tools and reports than anyone reads. Buying one more is easier than changing the work.
What the bench does: It is headless: issues and pull requests in your GitHub, conversations in Slack. Nothing new to adopt.
What you'll see.
Problems filed with the evidence
Issues in your GitHub, with who they hit and repeats grouped. When a fixed bug comes back, its issue reopens.
Reviewing, not digging
Fixes arrive as pull requests with tests. Your engineers' week moves from upkeep back to the roadmap.
Heard, and answered
Support can look up any customer and see every problem they hit. Requesters hear back when it ships (V2).
A fixed monthly price
One edition, monthly or annual. No headcount, no recruiting, no ramp-up.
V1 triages every problem and files the issue; V2 also drafts the fixes and features as pull requests. Compare the editions →
