BuildForever's AI engineer Avery autonomously wrote 31% of the code shipped to production last week. It operates via Slack, digging through production logs to find root causes, generating PRs, running the app on its Mac mini to verify fixes, and reporting back in the same Slack thread.
Avery is connected to all systems the team uses daily: GitHub, Linear, email, WhatsApp, TestFlight, App Store Connect, Mixpanel, and Cloud Logging. It maintains persistent agent sessions, carries durable memory across threads, and runs scheduled jobs autonomously, similar to persistent agents like Claude Code or Devin.
Avery represents a new paradigm of AI engineering tools embedded in a company's operating systems, tools, logs, and analytics, rather than just IDE plugins. It improved user-facing fix turnaround by 10x on mobile and created a culture where the whole team learns from each other's interactions with the AI.
A BuildForever engineer appears in the comments, offering to discuss Avery and AI-driven development. This suggests the company encourages open dialogue about their AI tool. No other comments yet, but the engineer's presence may spark further discussion.
