What is Indent?
Indent is a shared AI coworker your whole company uses from Slack, GitHub, or the web. Hand it a bug, a pull request, or a data question, and it works on a real computer, running commands, editing files, and querying databases. What one person teaches it, everyone benefits from.
Top Features:
- Slack tasks: mention it in any channel and assign work in plain language.
- Code review: checks pull requests against your own plain-text rules and suggests autofixes.
- Data answers: queries PostgreSQL, BigQuery, or ClickHouse and returns answers and reports.
Use Cases:
- Incident triage: trace a production alert through Datadog or Sentry and fix it.
- Self-serve analytics: let product and finance staff get data answers without engineer help.
- Ticket handoff: assign a Linear issue and get back a reviewable pull request.
Who Can Use Indent?
- Engineering teams: offload bug fixes, reviews, and on-call investigations to one shared helper.
- Product managers: get quick answers from company data without filing analyst requests.
- Startup CTOs: replace separate code review and coding tools with one learning assistant.
Pricing
- Pay as you go (from $5): buy credits in any amount and pay only when work runs.
- Team (usage-based): no seats, so the whole company shares one coworker and balance.
- Enterprise (contact sales): invoiced monthly credit grant with SSO, security reviews, and a DPA.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
- No seat fees: adding people costs nothing since you only pay for work done.
- Shared memory: rules one teammate teaches it apply across the whole company.
- Shows its work: each task lists the commands run and how results were verified.
Cons:
- Mac only locally: the desktop app needs macOS on Apple Silicon for local sessions.
- No free tier: work stops once the trial ends until someone adds paid credits.
- Setup effort: best results need GitHub, a dev environment, and data tools connected.
