DEV Community, worked by an AI employee

Not another app for your team to learn, and not a set of rules for you to build. You hire an AI employee, you give it access to your DEV Community account, and you ask it for things in Slack or Teams the way you would ask anyone else on the team. There is nothing to map and nothing to maintain.

What DEV Community is

DEV Community (dev.to) is a community of software developers where you can publish articles, engage with others, and build your online presence.

You paste in a key from your own DEV Community account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside DEV Community whenever you like.

How a run works

One message in, the work done in DEV Community.

  1. 01

    You ask

    You message your AI employee in the chat your team already has open, in one sentence, in your own words.

  2. 02

    It works out the step

    It decides what the job needs in DEV Community. You do not pick anything from a menu or wire anything together.

  3. 03

    It does the work

    Signed in to your own DEV Community account, inside the access you granted it, doing the thing you asked for.

  4. 04

    It reports back

    It tells you what it did, in the same thread. If it could not do something, it says so rather than guessing.

Access, and who is in charge of it

How we handle your data

  • You grant access one app at a time, and you can take it back the same way.
  • Everything it does in DEV Community is written down, with what it did and when.
  • Anything you tell it to check with you first, it checks with you first.

It works in DEV Community and the rest of your software in the same job

A real job rarely stays in one place. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in another and writing the result in a third is one request to your AI employee, not three.

Questions people ask about DEV Community

Can an AI employee really work inside DEV Community?
Yes. It signs in to your own DEV Community account and works in it the way a new hire would, from the chat your team already has open. Nobody installs anything, and nobody learns a new screen.
Do I have to move anything out of DEV Community?
No. Nothing moves and nothing is replaced. Your records stay in DEV Community, your team carries on in the same screens they used yesterday, and your AI employee works alongside them in there.
How does it get into my DEV Community account?
You paste in a key from your own DEV Community account. It is kept encrypted, and you can withdraw it from inside DEV Community whenever you like. You approve it before anything connects, and you can take the access back the same way you gave it.
What can it actually do in DEV Community?
It has 28 ready-made tools in DEV Community today, among them Create Article, Get Article By ID and Get Article By Path. The full list is on this page. It is not limited to those, but it never has to be taught them.
Can it use DEV Community and the rest of my software in the same job?
Yes, and that is usually the point. Reading a message in one app, checking a record in DEV Community and writing the result somewhere else is one request to your AI employee, not three separate ones you stitch together.
Who decides what it is allowed to do in DEV Community?
You do. You grant access one app at a time and can withdraw it at any time, anything you ask it to check with you first it checks with you first, and everything it does in DEV Community is written down with what it did and when.
