Tembo’s agent is a full-stack software engineer powered by AI. It contains a sophisticated a system that finds, fixes, and creates pull requests.

Tembo’s built on:

  • A powerful language model tuned for software maintenance and code generation
  • Real-time signal ingestion from tools like Sentry and Github (see integrations)
  • A review-quality PR generation engine

It’s the tireless junior deveveloper who actually closes tickets.

​
How the Agent Works

Tembo turns noisy alerts and performance signals into real code fixes:

  1. Ingests Signals
    Pulls from logs, error trackers, and database metrics (e.g. Sentry, Datadog)

  2. Triages Autonomously
    Detects root causes, prioritizes issues, and builds a fix plan without waiting for a ticket

  3. Writes Pull Requests
    Generates clean, merge-ready PRs that align with your repo’s best practices

  4. Seeks Approval
    You stay in control — approve, reject, or modify the fix before it merges

​
Tembo’s Favorite Fixes

Tembo starts where your backlog ends — with bugs your team doesn’t have time to fix:

  • Sentry errors and stack traces
  • Slow or inefficient queries
  • Missing or misused indexes
  • Broken windows and recurring alerts
  • Misconfigured settings or parameters
  • Bad default behaviors that hurt performance

Tembo is designed to clean up AI-generated and human-generated code that contains bugs and performance issues.

​
Tembo Adapts to Your Workflow

Tembo learns and adapts as it works:

  • Context-aware learning from your codebase, stack, and issue history
  • Cross-team intelligence from similar fixes applied across the platform
  • Human-in-the-loop feedback to improve future PR quality
  • Regular updates from the latest database, observability, and performance researc

​
Interacting With Tembo

Use Tembo on your terms:

  • Slack: Get alerts and fixes where your team already lives
  • GitHub: Review PRs as if they came from a wildly intelligent junior teammate
  • Web Dashboard: See what’s been fixed, what’s coming next, and approve changes

​
Solution Review and Approval

While Tembo can work autonomously, you maintain control through your workflow toggle:

  1. The agent detects an issue and generates a solution
  2. You receive a notification with details and recommendations
  3. You can approve, reject, or modify the proposed solution
  4. Upon approval, the agent implements the changes
