About PermaShip
PermaShip is an autonomous engineering platform powered by governed AI agents, featuring a central executive agent called Nexus. The system continuously scans codebases and accepts plain-language requests through Slack, Discord, API, or GitHub. It follows a structured request→plan→execute→verify→approve workflow to propose, sandbox, and ship auditable fixes and features. Teams use PermaShip to automate routine engineering tasks such as bug fixes, security patches, test generation, performance improvements, and code-quality enhancements. The platform accelerates development cycles while maintaining policy-based approvals, evidence trails, and adjustable autonomy. This ensures AI-driven output without sacrificing control or compliance, enabling continuous product evolution with minimal manual intervention. It is designed for engineering teams seeking to streamline workflows and reduce repetitive coding tasks while preserving oversight and auditability.
