Congratulations on the launch of Patched! I'm really intrigued by the potential it holds for development teams looking to streamline their workflows. The ability to create custom AI workflows for automating code reviews and documentation is a game-changer, and the option for self-hosting is a fantastic touch for those prioritizing privacy and control over their data. I’m curious about how easy it is to integrate with various LLMs and whether there are any recommendations for specific models that work best with Patched. Additionally, could you share some examples of custom workflows that users have created? Excited to see how Patched evolves and its impact on developer productivity!

I've seen at least 3 tools like these launched in the last couple of weeks, and I think what sets this product apart is the ability to create custom workflows. This really unlocks what's possible for the dev teams. And thanks for sharing some awesome examples of how your customers are using your product! Congrats on the launch @codelion and team!

Incredible work, @codelion! Patched seems like a powerful solution for reducing the monotony of repetitive development tasks. The open-source nature and the ability to integrate with various LLMs is a big plus. Are there any plans to support more programming languages or frameworks to broaden its applicability? Go YC Alum!

This tool is exactly many development teams need to handle repetitive tasks more efficiently. The open source nature and merge options are account definitely checking out.

A friend of mine was looking for a way to streamline their code review process. This tool seems like a perfect match. I'll definitely be sharing it with them.

Wow, Patched looks pretty slick! I love the idea of automating those pesky dev tasks we all love to hate. As a fellow code monkey who's spent way too many hours reviewing PRs and updating docs, this is music to my ears. The open-source angle is definitely a big plus - nothing worse than being locked into a black box solution. And the fact that you can customize workflows with your own LLM APIs is *chef's kiss*. That said, I do have a few thoughts on how you could potentially level up even further: 1. Have you considered adding some pre-built templates for common workflows? Could be a great way to help newbies get started quickly. 2. It might be cool to have some kind of marketplace where users can share and discover custom workflows. Kinda like npm, but for dev automation. 3. How about integrations with popular project management tools like Jira or Asana? Could help teams track the impact of automation on their overall productivity. Comparing to other tools out there, I'd say you're in a good spot. n8n is pretty powerful but can be overwhelming for non-techies. Zapier is user-friendly but lacks the dev-specific focus. You seem to be hitting a nice middle ground. One last thing - any plans for a mobile app? I'd love to be able to tweak my workflows while pretending to pay attention in meetings. 😉 Keep up the great work, folks! Looking forward to seeing how Patched evolves.

Congratulations on the launch of Patched! The ability to automate code reviews and documentation while maintaining full control and privacy is impressive.

I'm really impressed with the ability to create custom AI workflows for code tasks. This flexibility should be a big help for development team looking to automate routine tasks.

Great Launch! Is it the same as www.fine.dev ? I think I saw them launching something similar here a few days back?

It sounds like there’s an interesting contrast between tools like Cursor and more managed platforms like Patched. While Cursor and GitHub Copilot focus on core tasks like code reviews and doc generation, platforms like Patched seem to offer more flexibility for designing custom workflows, especially for complex and tailored use cases like analyzing PRs or generating style guides. Having both local and remote options could definitely be useful depending on the project’s needs. It seems like tools like Patched are aiming to bridge the gap by enabling more robust, customizable automation beyond what a basic AI assistant might handle. As this space evolves, I think we might see more integrations between these tools to cover all bases—local development and more complex managed workflows in one ecosystem.

Congrats on launching Patched! Automating those repetitive dev tasks like code reviews and documentation generation is a huge for me.

Congratulations on Patched! This open-source workflow automation tool is a boon for development efficiency and privacy. Are there plans to expand support for additional LLMs or provide pre-built templates for common development tasks?

This feels like a big shift in how we’ll build software going forward. I’m excited to see how the agent performs in more complex scenarios beyond initial prototyping!

The ability to generate custom patchflows for things like upgrading dependencies or fixing bugs feels like a dev’s dream come true.

Impressive engineering Asankhaya & team! Automated code reviews is something I've been wanting to see implemented for a while. And big congrats on reaching this milestone with the launch! Curious if you're seeing Patched being used by startups or if it's mainly large codebases with a stronger emphasis on reliability?

Wow, Patched looks like a game-changer for dev teams! Love the idea of automating those tedious tasks. Quick question - how steep is the learning curve for setting up custom workflows? It'd be awesome to see some example patchflows for common use cases. Keep innovating, Asankhaya and Rohan!
