how it runs

A day with Bivouac, from first inbox sweep to overnight watch.

The agent never logs off. It reads, labels, files, nudges, queues, and writes a standup so a human only steps in where a human actually matters.

    06:00

    Inbox sweep

    Bivouac reads every new issue, draft PR, and reviewer comment that landed overnight.

    Morning handoff

    A standup lands in #eng with what shipped, what is blocked, and what needs a human today.

capabilities

Owns the full issue and PR lifecycle, end to end.

Night-watch tools focus on shipping PRs. PR review tools focus on per-PR critique. Bivouac takes the whole repo from the first report through resolution — with security scanning and test suggestions wired in by default.

See how it differs
Severity triage on first sight

New issues are read, scored, labeled, and routed to the likely owner — before your team opens the inbox.

Filed reproductions for every P1

When a high-severity issue lands, Bivouac files a minimal reproduction into a branch so a human can pick it up cold.

PRs that don’t stall

Reviewers are nudged, blockers annotated, and failing CI runs are summarized in the comment thread, not a side channel.

Lightweight default security scan

Every push flows through a baseline scan for leaked secrets, risky dependencies, and risky permissions changes.

how it compares

Built for the work that happens between tools, not just inside one.

A direct look at where Bivouac sits relative to overnight PR generators and per-PR review tools. The full lifecycle has been the missing piece — so it's the piece we built.

how it ships

A managed GitHub App alongside your team, not a parallel repo.

Bivouc installs once per repo, runs through a thin MCP-aware runtime, and lives next to the GitHub Actions you already trust. Nothing to repoint. Defaults that fit a real team from day one — usually no onboarding beyond picking which repos it can see.

what you keep

Your existing CI, your existing reviewers, your existing data.

  • Every action is logged in-repo as a comment, label, or queued task — auditable from the GitHub UI without a separate dashboard.
  • Source code is processed at request time and not retained into a model training pipeline.
  • Repo-by-repo install. Scope down to the engineering orgs that need it, leave the rest out of scope entirely.

pricing

Per repo. Sized for small and mid teams that need on-call responsiveness without headcount.

Cheaper than per-seat Copilot tiers for most engineering teams, with an always-on agent instead of just an in-editor assistant.
