Convert technical instructions into working, tested code
Ellipsis is an AI devtool that converts technical instructions into working, tested code. Customers like PromptLayer and Warp (W23) use us to review changes and fix bugs. With Ellipsis, teams get a deep LLM-powered code review on every commit. When a developer wants to make a change, they simply tag us, and Ellipsis submits the fix. Ellipsis runs in the cloud so developers can make progress on other tasks while Ellipsis answers questions, writes code, and conducts code reviews on their behalf. The product integrates with GitHub, Slack, Linear, and other sources, allowing for thoughtful responses that consider the product roadmap, production logs, and bug reports. Our goal is for human engineers to spend more time reviewing code that Ellipsis writes, than writing code themselves. The team launched automatic code review in January and has grown to 30+ customers, with 75% of revenue coming from outside of the W24 batch.
Active Founders
Hunter Brooks
Currently: cofounder & CEO of Ellipsis, a DevTool that converts technical instructions into working, testing code. Before Ellipsis, Hunter created a code generation product that dynamically created programming challenges used in technical interviews. He's worked as a ML Engineer at AWS and Amazon Ads, in addition to filling various engineering roles at companies like Brigit and Capital One. Before teaching himself to code, he published in the field of Astrophysics.
Nick Bradford
Co-Founder and CTO, Ellipsis. Most recently, Nick took an AI developer tool for codebase migrations from zero to revenue as founding engineer of Grit. Previously, he researched LLM interpretability at Redwood Research, managed several teams at ML startup Hyperscience, and worked on trading algorithms at Bridgewater Associates.

Hello world, Hunter and Nick here! We’re building Ellipsis, an AI devtool that allows engineering teams to ship faster. Today, our customers use us to review pull requests and convert GitHub comments into working, tested code.
But that’s just the beginning; we’re on a mission to build the AI software engineer. Specifically, we’re automating tasks for the Full Stack Engineer role, starting in the Python and JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem.
How does it work? 🧐
Working with Ellipsis is like working with a remote colleague; simply tag it in Slack, GitHub, or Linear.
You can ask it to:
- Create multi-file code changes from natural language requirements, such as a bug reports or feature requests
- Review a pull request, checking for best practices and custom rules
- Answer questions about a codebase during onboarding, development, and bug triaging
- Create daily or weekly digests of the most important changes in your codebase
- Automate tedious changes, such as library upgrades and refactors, to a large batch of files
The best part is that Ellipsis works in the cloud, not on your local laptop. This means developers can have Ellipsis working on multiple tedious tasks in parallel, while they handle the more complex work themselves.
The question we get most often is “does it work?”, so we invite you to start a 7 day free trial. Or check out some examples from the open source community.
