Let's be honest. This work is boring and tedious, but critical.

Hey there,

Sound familiar? You log in Monday morning, ready to build something new, and find 15 Dependabot or Renovate PRs waiting for you.

Everyone agrees that keeping dependencies up to date matters. Nobody actually wants to do it. It's tedious, it isn't fun, and it keeps your engineers from shipping work that matters more.

Dependabot and Renovate are supposed to help. Instead, they add work to your to-do list. They open the PRs, but your senior engineers still have to read changelogs, babysit CI, understand what changed, and merge everything. That's a lot of expensive time spent not shipping.

We built PatchWave to automatically land most dependency updates.

Routine updates disappear quietly in the background. When an update needs human judgment, PatchWave gives your team the context to work through it without starting from zero.

Our goal is for PatchWave to become almost invisible. Your engineers keep shipping. We take care of the dependency queue.

Thanks for checking us out! PatchWave is free during the pilot, so give it a try. If it saves your team time or gets in your way, email us. We want to hear about it.

A SPECIALIZED AGENT

Specialized agents beat expensive generalists.

PatchWave's eval-backed harness optimizes for price and performance. It outperforms a general coding agent and costs far less than human review.
