About Graphide

YC company profile

CI 10-20× faster than GitHub runners, with a 24/7 agent optimizing it.

Coding agents now write more code than teams can check, making verification pipelines the new bottleneck. Graphide builds that verification, starting with CI.

Graphide CI runs faster and cheaper because we own both the hardware and the optimizations and configs that run on it, which lets us do what owning only one could not. A graph of the codebase runs only the tests each change can reach, and always-on agents tune machines, caches and test splits together, around the clock. Optionally, we also patch the tests themselves with our own libraries so they run faster. We have seen most of our customers cut CI time 80-95% compared to their existing setups.

Our PR review agent then runs the old and new code in our live environments, finding bugs and proving them by writing tests, as well as analyzing synthetic and production data through the PR before it merges.

Finally, our visualizer allows you to see these data flows and graph based diffs to both easily analyze the found bugs, run custom data flows, and see / understand a PR in seconds.

Graphide's focus is on verifying the code agents write.
