Ellipsis
Ellipsis, formerly known as BitBuilder, is a B2B company specializing in engineering, product, and design solutions that facilitate code writing and reviewing for developers by integrating with tools like GitHub, Slack, and Linear.
Company History
Ellipsis, originally known as BitBuilder, operates in the B2B sector with a focus on engineering, product, and design. It is part of the Y-Combinator W24 batch. The company underwent rebranding phases, also being known simply as 'ellipsis'. Despite having a small team size of two, Ellipsis has made significant strides in offering developer tools by leveraging the power of Large Language Models.
Products and Services
Ellipsis offers a cloud-based service tailored for developers, functioning as a virtual colleague. Its main capabilities include reviewing pull requests, writing code, and answering questions related to source code. The service can convert GitHub comments into working, tested code and integrates seamlessly with platforms like GitHub, Slack, and Linear. It also offers automatic code review, a feature launched in late December, which has significantly contributed to doubling its customer base every two weeks.
Security Features
Ellipsis is designed with security as a primary focus. It runs in a secure AWS VPC, reads code into memory without storing it to disk, writing it to a database, or logging repository contents. The service only commits code to feature branches with explicit user permission and does not store or train on the user's source code. Comprehensive security documentation is available at https://docs.ellipsis.dev/security.
Developer Integrations
Ellipsis supports integration with several key developer tools, including GitHub, Slack, and Linear. This integration allows for a smoother workflow and the ability to convert technical instructions into working, tested code. The service supports a wide variety of programming languages, frameworks, and libraries, making it a versatile tool for development teams.
7-Day Free Trial
