PermaShip

PermaShip is an autonomous engineering platform that acts like an entire engineering department running continuously. It uses governed AI agents to find, propose, and execute code improvements—from bug fixes and security patches to feature development—without waiting for human instructions. The platform is controlled by Nexus, an executive agent that embodies your engineering philosophy and decides which proposals move forward. You can set the autonomy level from supervised (approve each change) to fully autonomous. Notably, Nexus has been open-sourced as a judgment layer for multi-agent systems, reflecting PermaShip's commitment to transparent governance. PermaShip is designed for startups that want to build like a big team without headcount, scaling teams that need to add output without added overhead, and dev shops that want to deliver more value per engagement without extra engineers. It connects to your repositories and immediately starts scanning for issues, writing tests, fixing security vulnerabilities, and improving code quality. What makes PermaShip different is that it doesn't just execute tasks—it exercises judgment. Nexus evaluates every proposal against your strategic alignment, risk tolerance, and values. Work is found proactively by specialized agents (security, reliability, performance, test coverage, etc.), and only Nexus can create tickets. The platform operates 24/7, even when there's no queue, continuously scanning for improvements. Pricing starts at $20/month for the Starter plan, which includes 400 compute and up to 100 tickets per month. Higher tiers offer more capacity and features. PermaShip positions itself as more governed than open-ended alternatives like GitLab Duo or CodeRabbit, emphasizing a centralized decision layer that enforces your engineering principles. The open-sourcing of Nexus further differentiates it, offering transparency into how decisions are made.
