Using AI to write secure code with Semgrep

Semgrep has introduced Semgrep Assistant, an AI-augmented tool that leverages GPT to enhance security in code by making triage suggestions and providing automatic code fixes within pull requests. This innovation aims to improve the fix rate by helping developers determine true positives and offering tailored code-change suggestions, thus reducing the time spent on security issues. The use of GPT allows Semgrep to go beyond typical parsing and dataflow engines, offering insights into context that might cause false positives, such as test code or code mitigated by configuration settings. Additionally, Semgrep is exploring the potential of GPT to write or update custom rules, which could simplify the process of creating YAML-based rules for pattern detection in code. The company invites interested parties to join a waitlist for their private beta, offering the opportunity to experiment with the tool and provide feedback.
