We’re the team behind Baz, a next-generation source control management tool designed to make code reviews smarter and more collaborative. Over the past 12 months, we’ve connected with developers across various industries who are building innovative software to meet today’s complex demands.

Through these conversations, one thing became clear: development teams need to understand the full context of code changes to navigate an increasingly complex code landscape.

With this goal in mind, we created Baz.

Why Baz?

Code reviews are the backbone of high-quality software. Yet, traditional review tools haven’t kept pace with the challenges developers face today, like identifying interdependent changes across services, catching conflicts early, and understanding the broader impact of each modification.

By embedding real-time insights into the review process, Baz empowers development teams to work faster, collaborate better, and deploy more confidently.

How Baz enhances code reviews

At its core, Baz combines the power of AI with contextual data to give developers meaningful insights into their code. Imagine a code review experience where:

  • Critical changes are highlighted for easy identification, helping teams zero in on the most important parts of the code.
  • Contextual information from runtime metrics, flaky tests, and trace data is integrated right within the pull request, enabling smarter code suggestions and reducing unnecessary back-and-forth.
  • Real-time collaboration is seamless, with comments, discussions, and resolutions happening directly in your repository without interrupting workflows.

We believe that by automating key aspects of the review process, Baz frees up time for engineers to focus on the creative, problem-solving aspects of coding.

Key features of Baz

1. Intelligent PR Descriptions Our automated assistant generates high-quality pull request descriptions that ensure reviewers have the context they need from the start. No more repetitive tasks—just efficient, accurate descriptions every time.

2. Contextualized Reviews With Baz, you get a line-by-line breakdown of code changes, along with insights into the ripple effects these changes may have across modules and services. This level of granularity helps reduce errors and catch potential issues early.

3. AI-Driven Code Suggestions Baz’s AI scans your code for patterns, analyzing dependencies and potential impacts. It provides intelligent suggestions for resolving conflicts and improving code quality. You can make smarter decisions with minimal guesswork.

4. Seamless GitHub Integration Baz integrates effortlessly with GitHub, allowing you to experience all these benefits within your current workflow. Real-time communication, collaborative comments, and insightful annotations are just a few clicks away.

5. Impact Analysis Beyond the Diff With Baz, insights go beyond typical code diffs. We provide deep impact analysis that includes runtime data, dependencies, and historical trends, so your team can fully understand the effects of every change.
