Principles for Building One-Shot AI Agents

EdgeBit is a security platform that helps application engineering teams to find and fix security vulnerabilities. The Dependency Autofix feature contains an extremely accurate reachability engine to identify impact to your app. Most updates have no impact, so engineers using EdgeBit can dedicate efforts on impactful upgrades.
