Product Overview: Pixee AI (Pixeebot)
Pixee AI, through its flagship tool Pixeebot, is an innovative automated product security engineering solution designed to enhance and safeguard the quality and security of your code. Here’s a detailed look at what Pixeebot does and its key features:
What Pixeebot Does
Pixeebot acts as an automated product security engineer, integrating seamlessly into your development workflow to identify, triage, and remediate code vulnerabilities in real-time. This proactive approach allows developers to focus on creating new features rather than spending time on patching and fixing bugs.Key Features and Functionality
Automated Code Fixes
Pixeebot monitors your repositories and pull requests, providing immediate and high-quality fixes for identified vulnerabilities. It converts code scan results into actionable pull requests ready for merging, ensuring continuous improvement without disrupting productivity.Workflow Compatibility
Pixeebot integrates with your existing development workflow, supporting major programming languages such as Java, Python, JavaScript, Node.js, .NET/C#, and Go. It operates within your Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and is compatible with various Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tools like Sonar, Snyk, and Semgrep.Custom Codemods
Using the open-source Codemodder framework, developers can create and deploy custom codemods to tailor code improvements according to their specific needs. This flexibility allows for targeted enhancements in security, performance, and overall code quality.Integration with GitHub
Pixeebot can be integrated with GitHub, enabling seamless monitoring and fixing of vulnerabilities directly within the GitHub environment. It also supports local integration via the Pixee CLI, offering users the flexibility to choose their preferred method of use.Continuous Monitoring and Improvement
Pixeebot continuously monitors your code, suggesting fixes in real-time. It enhances code performance, security, and quality, addressing security tickets promptly and reducing the backlog of engineering tasks. This continuous improvement ensures that your code is hardened against vulnerabilities and bugs at all times.AI-Driven Insights
Pixeebot utilizes Large Language Models (LLMs) for context-aware code fixes and to add code-specific comments. These comments help developers understand the rationale behind the recommended changes. The AI-driven triage features gather facts about the vulnerable code flow and technical context to provide expert recommendations.User-Friendly and Flexible
The Pixee CLI is designed to be user-friendly, allowing developers to work in their preferred environment without interruptions. The tool is flexible, supporting both local and GitHub-based workflows, and offers the option to disable the use of LLMs if preferred.Benefits
- Increased Productivity: Developers can focus on feature development rather than bug fixing.
- Enhanced Code Quality: Automatic improvements in code performance, security, and quality.
- Reduced Backlog: Prompt addressing of security tickets frees up engineering resources.
- Continuous Improvement: Code is continually hardened against vulnerabilities and bugs.
