THE NEW DEVELOPMENT PARADIGM

Software is no longer built the way it used to be.

Machines write the code. AURA governs the full cycle — from idea to merge — with specification, multi-agent coordination, explainable verdicts, and evidence. Without depending on any single vendor.

Why AURA exists

The bottleneck moved. No one governs the full cycle.

Before · humans wrote the code

  • 1A human writes every line. Code is scarce and expensive.
  • 2Another human reviews what they can. The rest slips through.
  • 3A third person plans in a tool disconnected from the code.
  • 4Company speed is how many of those humans you can hire.

Now · the age of artificial intelligence

  • 1Agents write 8–10× more code. Three or four vendors at once.
  • 2The developer directs, no longer writes. And approves dozens of actions a day across ten terminals.
  • 3Nearly half of new code is written by AI on teams already using Copilot.
  • 4The bottleneck is specifying, coordinating, and verifying. And no one governs all three together.

No vendor will build the neutral layer that governs their competitors' agents. That is why AURA exists. Read the paradigm manifesto →

Source: GitHub reported that Copilot generates 46% of its users' code — nearly half. GitHub, Feb. 2023. It remains the most cited public benchmark heading into 2025.

AURA Review · available today

When everything is right, AURA does not make you wait.

This Pull Request does what the spec asked for, breaks nothing else in the system, passes its tests, and has no vulnerabilities. AURA reviews it, explains it, and approves it on its own.

✓ INTENT · does it do what was asked?96 / 100
The coupon is applied to the summary and the discount is calculated before checkout, exactly as the spec AURA-118.
✓ COHERENCE · does it fit the system?94 / 100
Only touches cart/summary and cart/coupons. Does not reach checkout/payment or billing/invoice: no side effects where they should not be.
✓ QUALITY · is it well built?91 / 100
New tests cover expired coupons, invalid codes, and maximum discount. File coverage: 88% (+6%). Lint clean.
✓ SECURITY · is it safe?97 / 100
No secrets, no new dependencies, no injection patterns. Coupon lookup uses prepared parameters: correct.

Runtime · multi-vendor agentic management

All your agents. One queue. Free.

Every vendor wants you to use only their agent. Runtime detects traffic from all of them on your machine, groups their approval requests, and scores the risk before you decide. Without changing any tool.

What is this worth for your team?

A team of 10 developers opening 280 Pull Requests a month recovers about 98 human hours — nearly two and a half weeks of one full-time person, every month, without hiring anyone else.

The basis of every decision

Four questions. One clear answer.

Before deciding, AURA answers these four questions about every change. When all four pass, the code moves forward on its own. When one fails, you know exactly which and why.

01 · Intent
Does it do what was asked?

Compares the change against the spec, the new tests, or the instruction that generated it. Without asking anyone to write a separate specification.

extracted, not demanded
02 · Coherence
Does it fit the rest of the system?

Detects when a change touches modules it should not, or breaks something another part of the code assumed. The failure no single test catches alone.

the criterion no one else reviews
03 · Quality
Is it well built?

Linters from your own stack, coverage, types, and normalized CI evidence. The technical baseline, verified with your own tools.

your rules, always applied
04 · Security
Is it safe today and tomorrow?

Exposed secrets, dependencies with CVEs, injection patterns. And with the add-on, continuous monitoring after the code has already merged.

before and after the merge
Neutrality commitment

The one who decides does not compete in the game.

Code is increasingly written by machines: Claude, Copilot, Cursor, Codex, open models, models that do not exist yet. Someone has to verify that this code does what was asked, does not break what it should not, is safe, and meets each organization's rules. That verification only holds if the verifier has no stake in the outcome.

  1. We will never build an agent that writes code. We govern everyone's code; we compete with no one.
  2. We support any model and any agent, and let you choose by region, cost, or policy. No favorites.
  3. Every AURA decision is explainable: which criterion failed, which policy applied, what evidence was there.

Origin

We built it to survive our own code.

AURA was born inside a next-generation software factory. When our teams started directing agents, code grew eightfold and the CTO was reviewing every Pull Request nearly to the breaking point. There was no tool that governed the full cycle. We built it. Today it is yours.

AURA blocking a Pull Request that does not meet the linked spec

AURA in production: a PR blocked not for a bug, but because it did not meet what spec AURA-20 required.

Frequently asked questions

What every CTO asks before connecting their code.

Review is available and can be purchased today. Spec is in early access: it works and you can use it, but still without billing and without Jira integration. Runtime is free on every plan, in invite-only beta. Orchestra is the Pro version of Runtime (flows, missions, roles), included from 2027. QA is under construction, with no date yet. Every module shows its real status across the site.

It works with your Jira. And many teams discover they no longer need it.

AURA doesn't police anyone: it normalizes using AI to build software and helps verify that it turned out right.

Anyone with permission can correct the verdict in one click, and that event is logged. We publish control accuracy in your monthly report: if we are wrong more than 5% of the time in any repository, we treat it as our incident. A decision that is wrong too often is a decision your team ignores — and then it is useless.

No, and it is in the contract. We process the change ephemerally: we do not store your code after the review. We keep findings and metadata for your history. Each organization is isolated with its own GitHub App credentials. On Enterprise you choose the model and region, or bring your own.

Because we do not ask for faith — we give you evidence: which criterion failed, which policy applied, in which file and line, with which CI evidence. And there is a commitment no major competitor can make: we will never build an agent that writes code. The one who decides does not compete in the game.

A seat is anyone who produces code against a connected repository: the developer who opened at least one reviewed Pull Request in the month. Anyone who only plans, coordinates, or approves — a Scrum Master, a Product Owner — does not pay for a seat even if they use the platform every day.

Today AURA works with GitHub. GitLab arrives in Q2 2027 and Bitbucket in Q3. Spec import from Jira is part of Spec GA (end of 2026); bidirectional sync comes later, on Enterprise.

Machines write the code.
You decide if it ships.

Connect your repository and get your first verdict in under ten minutes. No card, no sales call, no change to your workflow.
