About The Korbit AI Mentor for Software Engineering

Korbit’s AI Mentor for Software Engineering is a generative AI solution that dynamically detects and resolves coding issues in a way that’s personalized for each engineer and their specific development environment. It’s like having a personal coach, code reviewer, and mentor assigned to each engineer all the time. It dramatically improves engineering code quality, and productivity, while reducing the workload burden on Sr. Engineers that normally perform those tasks. The solution further enables engineering managers to see all of the issues and upskilling activity to better understand team performance and skills, and to better conduct project planning and team building.

This new paradigm will forever change how teams work and upskill, and will dramatically increase productivity.

- Iulian Vlad Serban, Chief Executive Officer of Korbit Technologies  

"Our just-released AI Mentor for Software Engineering has proven to save time, improve code quality, and upskill engineers within their development environment. We’re thrilled to be launching the beta version of the AI Mentor to a broader audience after much success."

The AI Mentor's key features are:

• Automated code reviews: Scans your source code, then detects and assigns issues.
• Issue Resolution: Explains issues and recommends solutions.
• Personalized Upskilling: Teaches how-to fix the issues with live instructions, advice, tutorials and coding exercises, all within the engineer’s working environment.
• Tracking and Reporting: Tracks and reports on the issues detected, resolved, and all upskilling activity.
• Project Planning: Matches engineers to upcoming tasks and projects based on skills
• Project Onboarding: Proactively upskills engineers to get them ready for projects and tasks.
• Employee Onboarding: Ramps up and upskills new engineers to become productive in a new team.

Korbit’s proprietary technology platform is based on generative AI models and large language models (LLMs) in order to deliver the AI Mentor for Software Engineering.
