Graphite has been conducting experiments to integrate AI into engineering workflows, focusing on enhancing the create-review-merge developer process. The potential benefits of AI include increased productivity and efficiency, but there are also challenges such as the risk of bugs and poorly architected code. The company established guiding principles emphasizing visibility into AI-generated content and prioritizing code analysis over generation. Promising experiments included automated generation of Pull Request (PR) descriptions, which improved commit message quality, and weekly digest notifications summarizing codebase changes, enhancing team communication. Inline comment translation to code suggestions and AI-assisted codebase Q&A for onboarding were also successful, streamlining reviews and knowledge transfer. AI reviews provided a rapid "second pair of eyes," reducing review cycles, while other experiments like fully generative documentation and regex lint rules faced issues with accuracy and trust. The company emphasizes the importance of non-disruptive, opt-in features and maintaining a balance between false positives and negatives. Graphite is committed to carefully integrating AI into workflows, seeking feedback to refine these innovations further.
