FirstMate is an AI-powered developer assistant built to make coding smoother and more productive. Think of it as your second pair of hands for code reviews, debugging, documentation alignment, and enforcing best practices—all in real time.

Our mission? To free developers from repetitive tasks, reduce cognitive load, and let teams focus on building.

FirstMate is free for open-source projects! We’re committed to helping maintainers by streamlining contribution guidelines, ensuring code quality, and making it easier to onboard contributors.

With FirstMate, open-source projects can:

• Set up and enforce consistent contribution guidelines.
• Automatically catch common errors and maintain high-quality standards.
• Reduce the back-and-forth in pull requests, making contributions more efficient and welcoming.

If you're maintaining an open-source project, FirstMate can help keep it organized, accessible, and easy to contribute to—all without extra manual work.
