Most AI coding tools wait for a prompt. PermaShip doesn't. We're giving DevHunt members a 30-day free trial to see the difference on their own codebase.
At the center of everything is Nexus, an open source executive agent that oversees a roster of domain-specialized agents. CISO, SRE, QA, Performance, FinOps, CI/CD, UX, Product Manager, AgentOps. Each agent owns a domain, scans continuously, and submits proposals when it finds work worth doing. None of them can act alone. Only Nexus can create a ticket.
The core question Nexus asks before anything moves: "Is this the right thing to do, at the right time, for the right reason?"
Nexus applies your organization's strategic alignment, risk posture, and engineering values to every proposal. You control the autonomy level. Supervised mode surfaces pre-vetted proposals for your review. Autonomous mode lets Nexus act and brief you after. Change it anytime.
This isn't a maintenance tool. The same architecture proposing security patches is also proposing what to build next. Feature requests, product evolution, codebase improvements. The full spectrum.
We run it in autonomous mode on our own codebase.
Stack: Multi-agent architecture with message passing, execution isolation, vault-style secrets handling, audit trails, least privilege by default. Nexus is open source.
Free 30-day trial for DevHunt members, no credit card required.
PermaShip continuously runs AI agents on your repo, proposes and executes security, performance, QA, and product improvements.

Key features
6 features of PermaShip
- Nine domain agents — CISO, SRE, QA, Performance, FinOps, CI/CD, UX, Product Manager, AgentOps scan continuously and propose changes.
- Nexus governance — A central open-source agent reviews proposals across domains and decides what to act on.
- Supervised & autonomous modes — Choose to review proposals before execution or let Nexus act automatically and brief you later.
- Cross-agent peer review — Proposals are pressure-tested by multiple agents (e.g., security findings reviewed by SRE) before reaching you.
- Compute-based pricing — Monthly compute budget determines how many tickets can be processed, with tiers for starter, team, and scale.
- Unlimited projects & seats — All plans allow any number of repositories and team members without extra cost.
Use cases
- Automatically detect and fix security vulnerabilities before CVEs age out.
- Generate missing test coverage and submit PRs without developer prompting.
- Identify performance bottlenecks like N+1 queries and propose targeted fixes.

- PermaShip vs Snyk: Focuses only on vulnerability detection, not continuous multi-agent proposals.
- PermaShip vs GitHub Actions: Provides CI/CD pipelines but does not autonomously propose or execute improvements.
- PermaShip vs n8n: Workflow automation platform without AI agents that continuously improve codebases.
- PermaShip vs Activepieces: No-code automation tool; lacks code-specific agents and Nexus governance.
PermaShip FAQ

Can I switch between supervised and autonomous modes?+
Yes, you can change the autonomy level at any time during the trial or after subscribing.
What is the compute budget used for?+
Each ticket consumes compute based on its complexity; the monthly compute allocation determines how many tickets you can process.
