Introducing Zapat: Your AI Engineering Pipeline

Software engineering is about to change forever. Today, we are introducing Zapat — an autonomous AI engineering pipeline that turns your GitHub issues into reviewed, tested, production-ready pull requests.

The Problem

Every engineering team has the same bottleneck: too many issues, not enough engineers. Your backlog grows faster than your team can ship. Hiring is expensive — a single engineer costs $150K-300K per year — and onboarding takes months. Meanwhile, your competitors are shipping faster.

How Zapat Works

Zapat is radically simple. Add a label to a GitHub issue — like zapat:implement — or just comment @zapat, and a full pipeline kicks off automatically. Five stages run in sequence: triage, implement, test, review, and merge. Each stage runs in an isolated cloud container with full access to your codebase.

The result? A production-ready PR with passing CI, test coverage, and a clear cost breakdown. Most issues cost $6-12, with built-in budget guardrails — compared to $50-200 for a human engineer.

What Makes Zapat Different

Unlike coding assistants that help you write code faster, Zapat is an autonomous pipeline. You do not pair with it — you delegate to it. Label an issue or comment @zapat, come back to a reviewed PR. The full pipeline means every PR goes through the same rigorous process: triage analysis, implementation, automated testing, code review, and smart merge.

Pricing That Makes Sense

No subscriptions, no per-seat fees. Zapat uses a simple pay-per-issue model with a prepaid balance. Top up via Stripe when you need to. Every new account gets $15 in compute credits — no credit card required. Refer friends — you both get $5 each, up to $15 more. Auto-recharge available so your pipeline never stalls.

Get Started

Sign up today and get $15 in compute credits to try Zapat on your real codebase. Install the GitHub App, label an issue or comment @zapat, and watch the pipeline work. Share your referral link — you both get $5 when they run their first task.
