What is Patched?
Patched is an open-source framework designed to accelerate software development tasks using AI, specifically through LLM-assisted automations called Patchflows. It enables developers to automate repetitive processes like code reviews, bug fixing, documentation generation, and debugging by chaining reusable atomic actions known as Steps with customizable Prompts. Users can run these workflows locally via CLI, in IDEs, or integrate them into CI/CD pipelines for seamless operation.
Key features include the Patchflow Builder for easy creation and customization of automations, support for any LLM including local models like Llama via Ollama or llama.cpp, and an OpenAI-compatible API for optimized inference. It emphasizes developer control, privacy, and determinism, allowing integration with personal or enterprise LLMs without vendor lock-in. The framework is backed by a managed service option for vulnerability fixing and enterprise workflows.
Patched targets developers, engineering teams, and security experts seeking customizable AI tools for code management. It's ideal for those building agentic AI workflows in enterprise settings, open-source contributors automating PR reviews, or individuals fixing code issues efficiently. As a YC S24 company, it prioritizes open-source principles to empower the dev community.

Frequently asked questions about Patched
What is a Patchflow?
Patchflows are LLM-assisted automations for tasks like PR reviews, code fixing, and debugging, composed of Steps and Prompts, runnable locally in CLI/IDE or in CI/CD pipelines.
How do Steps work?
Steps are reusable atomic actions defining operations in Patchflows, combined with customizable Prompts to pass instructions and outputs to LLMs for targeted automation.
Can I use my own LLM?
Yes, supports any LLM including OpenAI, Google, Hugging Face, local via llama.cpp, Ollama, vLLM, or TGI using config files or API keys.
How to get started quickly?
Install Patchwork CLI, sign up for free patched_api_key at app.patched.codes, or use own openai_api_key, then run commands like 'patchwork AutoFix'.
What is the Patchflow Builder?
A tool for creating and integrating Patchflows with analyzers or CLI, enabling no-code customization of AI development workflows.
Is there an API available?
Yes, OpenAI-compatible chat completions at patchwork.patched.codes/v1, evaluation endpoint for testing, and optimize/v1 for better performance.
Can it run local models?
Yes, configure with llama_cpp.server, Ollama, or vLLM for models like Llama 3.1 8B, running fully offline without API keys.
What tasks does it automate?
Automates PR reviews, code fixing (AutoFix), documentation, debugging, and custom enterprise workflows using agentic AI.
Is it suitable for CI/CD?
Yes, Patchflows integrate directly into CI/CD pipelines for automated code management in team environments.
