Introducing Jimy illustration

We are excited to introduce Jimy - the agentic AI to build better software. Jimy integrates seamlessly across the entire software lifecycle and enables engineering teams to focus on delivering features rather than paying down technical debt.

Technical Debt is Slowing Down Software Teams

As AI enables developers to rapidly churn out code, the complexity of codebases is growing faster than ever, leading to duplicated code and poorly maintained codebases. In our conversations with many of our early customers, we learned that despite code assistants generating new code, tech debt is holding them back from shipping features faster. We built Jimy, an agentic AI, to tackle this challenge head-on and empower engineering teams to build better software. Jimy automates end-to-end code maintenance and integrates seamlessly into every stage of the software lifecycle, from the IDE to CI and production.

Jimy enables engineering teams to automate complex codebase-wide migrations, library upgrades, cleanup dead code, fix security issues, improve test coverage, etc.

Jimy keeps developers in the flow and reduces context switching. Jimy works in the background to address issues that take developers out of the core development inner loop - code review comments, build and test failures, incidents, security scanner alerts, etc.

AI-Native with Deep Context

Agentic AI is only as powerful as the tools and context it has access to. Jimy is plugged into Amp - Gitar’s AI-native engine purpose-built for code automation. Amp gives Jimy access to Deep Context - very precise code context from the AST, type system, and build system layers. This lets Jimy accurately maintain code while minimizing hallucinations.

Enterprise-Grade Agentic AI

Current AI developer tools are focused on individual developers, are point solutions to address only parts of software development, and do not offer holistic solutions to enterprise codebases.

To address these issues, Jimy addresses the entire code maintenance process end-to-end. Jimy comes with many well-known library and framework migrations baked in. Jimy enables engineering teams to create and share their custom migration workflows, tailored to their unique codebases and requirements. Jimy updates and adds tests along the way when migrating legacy code to minimize risk to software delivery.

Jimy’s core - Amp, is built in Rust for reliability and performance. We do rigorous testing on enterprise-scale codebases with multiple programming languages (50-100 Million LOC, Millions of files). Unlike other AI tools, Amp has no limits on the number of files/lines of code in a codebase. Jimy can be deployed to where your code lives, whether your cloud or on-prem environment. Your code remains secure.

Exciting Updates on the Horizon

We're just getting started on our mission to enable engineering teams to build better software faster and with less technical debt. With Jimy, we're excited to take the next leap forward in agentic AI for software development.
