Summary

SalesNow, a company offering Japan's largest corporate and organizational database with over 14 million entries, utilizes AI tools like CodeRabbit to enhance internal development productivity and standardize code review processes. The company, which operates with a fully remote, asynchronous communication and pull request-driven workflow, has a development team of about 20, including application developers, data engineers, designers, and project managers. CodeRabbit automates initial code reviews, reducing bottlenecks and enhancing the balance between speed and thoroughness by allowing human reviewers to focus on essential aspects. This approach has minimized psychological friction often associated with human feedback and facilitated the dissemination of implicit knowledge. The company is exploring further enhancements, such as deeper integration with tools like Asana for better requirement verification and cross-repository consistency. SalesNow also emphasizes the importance of open-source software, recognizing its foundational role in modern software development.
