A governed autonomous engineering co-pilot that never acts without your permission.
DAX helps developers understand, maintain, and improve real codebases — without removing human authority.
Most AI tools optimize for speed, not safety. Rapid execution creates risk in production environments.
Silent automation is dangerous in real codebases. Changes without explanation erode trust and create technical debt.
Developers need leverage without loss of control. AI should amplify judgment, not replace it.
Trust over speed
Governance over blind automation
Transparency over black boxes
DAX follows a strict proposal-first workflow. Every action requires your explicit approval.
DAX continuously monitors your codebase for issues, errors, and improvement opportunities.
Every finding is explained in detail with context, impact, and reasoning.
DAX generates a specific proposal with a diff preview showing exactly what would change.
No action is taken until you explicitly approve. You remain in complete control.
DAX is built with governance at its core. You define the rules, boundaries, and permissions.
DAX operates in SAFE mode by default, requiring approval for every action.
Configure custom rules and boundaries that align with your team's standards.
Grant limited autonomy only for specific, well-defined tasks when you choose.
Every change is tracked with full rollback capability and verification.
