Introducing Packmind Tech Coach

Boston, MA – [October 15th, 2024] Packmind today announced the General Availability of Packmind Tech Coach, an AI assistant designed to help developers review their code and learn directly from the IDE. In the rapidly evolving landscape of AI coding assistants, Packmind uniquely empowers Tech Leads and Engineering Managers to accelerate developer learning by ensuring that critical coding practices — ranging from clean code principles to languages, frameworks and team-specific conventions — are understood and consistently applied, through contextual guidance seamlessly delivered to every developer’s IDE.

Learn by doing, improve code quality, and accelerate lead time by shifting your code reviews left!

Packmind Tech Coach embeds the collective knowledge of your top engineers and industry best practices right into each developer’s IDE. Through contextualized reviews and intelligent suggestions, it accelerates developer learning while ensuring consistent, high-quality code across both human and AI-generated contributions.

🌟 Seamless in-IDE experience: Learn and apply best coding practices directly in your IDE without the hassle of switching contexts.

📈 Enforce & elevate standards: Automatically analyzes code changes, detects violations, and suggests fixes to reduce technical debt while streamlining reviews.

🧠 Contextual AI guidance: Provides intelligent, real-time suggestions tailored to your context, helping you implement and learn from industry and team-specific best practices.

🔄 Instant practice deployment: Once a new coding practice is validated by the team, our AI agent configures and deploys it instantly across your team’s IDEs, ensuring alignment.

Zero setup: Simply download the plugin from JetBrains or VS Code marketplace, and start receiving context-specific feedback immediately—no manual setup required.

Packmind Tech Coach provides reviews based on languages and frameworks best practices, as well as a curated library of coding practices developed in collaboration with our partner Arolla, a leading consulting firm in Software Craft. Packmind Tech Coach improves software delivery by scaling knowledge sharing and best coding practices on BDD, DDD, Testing, and many others said Dorra Bartaguiz, CTO at Arolla. Tech Leads can now save significant time by shifting code reviews to the IDE, enabling knowledge sharing across the entire team rather than one-on-one during code reviews.

Lastly, Packmind Tech Coach continuously integrates team-specific coding practices with AI coding assistants like GitHub Copilot to ensure the generated code aligns with the team’s specific context. “Packmind is the bridge between the team knowledge and AI code assistant. It is important to be right the first time because the cost of rework is far greater than the gain of generating code faster” said Bastien Decroix Staff Engineer.

This launch is a significant step forward in achieving our mission: to elevate developers’ craft to new heights by championing knowledge sharing and best coding practices.
