What is Unblocked?
Unblocked is an AI context engine for engineering teams that connects code, documentation, tickets, and conversations to provide accurate, context-aware answers about your codebase. It supercharges AI coding tools like Cursor, Claude, and Copilot by giving them deep understanding of your specific system, similar to what your best engineer knows. The tool builds a knowledge graph linking Jira issues to PRs to Slack discussions to code, enabling grounded answers engineers can rely on.
Key features include AI code review that understands your team's conventions and past decisions, CI Failure Agent that analyzes logs and posts actionable fixes in PRs, Unblocked Chat for asking questions about your software and its history, MCP integration for coding agents, IDE plugins for Visual Studio Code and JetBrains IDEs, and Slack/Microsoft Teams integration for automated internal support. Answers always include cited sources so you can verify the references Unblocked consulted.
Unblocked is designed for development teams at companies who want to improve AI-generated code quality, surface meaningful issues in code review, accelerate onboarding for new hires, and reduce time spent searching for information. It supports all major programming languages including JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, Java, Ruby, PHP, C++, and C#, and integrates with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Slack, Confluence, Linear, Notion, and many other tools.

Frequently asked questions about Unblocked
How does Unblocked compare to other code review tools?
Most AI code review tools only look at the diff and apply generic best practices. Unblocked builds a knowledge graph of your entire codebase, conversations, and past decisions to provide context-aware feedback. It references your actual Slack discussions, past PRs, and documented decisions instead of generic rules, flags issues based on your system's patterns and constraints not what works in theory, and provides high-quality comments you'll actually want to implement.
What makes Unblocked's context different?
Unblocked reconstructs fragmented context from code, docs, tickets, and conversations into grounded answers. It builds a model of your engineering system and manages freshness, source deconfliction, permission awareness, and personalization. A Jira issue links to a PR which was discussed in Slack which references code and docs - Unblocked traverses these connections, ranks by recency and authority, and de-conflicts when sources disagree, building a living map of what your team knows.
Do you offer a free trial?
The website mentions free trial in the FAQ section but does not provide specific details about trial availability or duration in the pricing page content. Users would need to contact sales or sign up to confirm trial options.
What integrations do you support?
Unblocked supports Source Code Systems (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, GitHub Enterprise Server, GitLab Self-Managed, GitLab Dedicated, Bitbucket Data Center), CI Systems (Buildkite, CircleCI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins), Knowledge Management (Confluence, Notion, Google Drive, Stack Overflow for Teams, Coda Enterprise, Confluence Data Center), Project Trackers (Jira, GitHub Issues, Linear, Jira Data Center), and Messaging Platforms (Microsoft Teams, Slack). It also supports external public websites.
Is my information secure?
Yes. Unblocked is SOC 2 Type II certified with data isolated, authorized, and encrypted. Your data will never be used to train models. All communications use TLS encryption, data stores use encryption at rest with AWS managed keys, authentication is via SAML SSO or OAuth 2.0, and Unblocked respects access control settings from each data integration. They conduct ongoing penetration testing and security scans.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?
Yes, the FAQ confirms you can upgrade or downgrade your plan. The billing section allows managing your plan, changing payment methods, and adding billing admins. Users can change plans through their team billing settings.
We already use AI coding tools. How does Unblocked fit into our workflow?
Unblocked connects your code, docs, and conversations so AI tools like Cursor, Claude, and Copilot finally understand your system like your best engineer. It provides the context layer that existing AI tools lack - reconstructing fragmented context from your codebase, Slack discussions, documentation, and tickets. Before your agent starts a task, give it context to stay on track with patterns, decisions, and prior conversations.
How do I know the answers are accurate?
Answers always include links to the references Unblocked consulted so you can explore them more deeply. Unblocked surfaces contextually relevant information with cited sources, drawing from code, PRs, Slack, and docs. The system ranks by recency and authority, de-conflicts when sources disagree, and provides decision-grade context for AI-driven development.
How does Unblocked access my code?
Unblocked integrates with existing tools through secure OAuth connections. It respects all existing permissions and never stores code permanently. Authentication is performed via SAML SSO or OAuth 2.0 to your identity provider, and access to resources is authorized at every level of the stack from network down to database.
What languages do you support?
Unblocked supports all major programming languages including JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, Java, Ruby, PHP, C++, C#, and more. The code review feature works across all these languages, flagging issues like logic errors, race conditions, security risks, and unsafe patterns specific to each language.
