This turns the vicious cycle of AI slop → more AI slop to a virtuous one where the AI agent helps you move faster and compound productivity gains.

Solution?

- Adopt better development practices in the code base that helps AI build on top of a good foundation.

- Invest in tools *around* your AI agent. Test suite that can run locally. Typechecking/codeformatting/linting tools.

- Invest in code observability — coverage, complexity.

Most orgs are stuck in this vicious cycle: bad code + unchecked AI → worse code produced by AI.

Lack of a "clean" engineering environment — good code coverage (and the ability to track code coverage), good coding patterns, low-complexity modules — accelerates codebase entropy, degrading the future AI performance on tasks.

This quote is quite telling, but I'm not sure the situation is that grim. I do believe most companies are building valuable stuff with AI and do have enough differentiation.

But if the user thinks you're just re-skinning ChatGPT, it might be time to re-think that UX.

I suspect a key reason for this could be that most companies are still retrofitting ChatGPT's chat box into an established product UX, with very few people doing 0→1 innovation.

If your product reminds the user of ChatGPT, they'll invariably think ChatGPT can do a better job.

DeepSource Agents
DeepSource Agents are autonomous AI agents that secure your code.

DeepSource Agents are available to all teams on DeepSource Cloud starting today on the free plan, with limits. Over the next few weeks, we will roll this out to our enterprise customers. We have an exciting roadmap, and we can't wait to see how this helps developers ship!

Finally, we've given the agents long-term memory. So you can teach them important facts and context about your code and your organization.

3. False Positive Triage Agent: It removes noise from code security alerts. It reasons about every security issue with the code's context and suppresses it if it's not relevant.
April 25, 2025 at 10:02 PM
2. CVE Prioritization Agent: It uncovers critical vulnerabilities in your 3rd-party dependencies by automatically triaging new CVEs introduced in your dependency chain.
April 25, 2025 at 10:02 PM
We're starting with releasing three agents today.

1. Autofix™ Autopilot Agent: It autonomously fixes new security vulnerabilities in your code. It can create PRs with security patches for your first-party code and third-party dependency upgrades.
April 25, 2025 at 10:02 PM
For example, if the agent sees a new potential SQL injection issue, it can reason about it using the code's AST, spanning across multiple files, and even third-party dependencies.

If it determines that the issue is high-priority, it patches it and opens a PR. All on its own.

Enter DeepSource Agents.

Our agents observe every line of code added to your codebase. Using static analysis and built on top of our DevSecOps platform, the agents reason about every observation and autonomously take actions. — like creating PRs.
