Description

Dosu is an AI-powered assistant designed to help software engineers manage and maintain their codebases more efficiently. It integrates with platforms like GitHub to automate repetitive tasks, allowing developers to focus on more complex and value-adding work. The tool works continuously, monitoring repositories around the clock.

Dosu assists teams by automatically answering questions related to the code, triaging incoming issues by categorizing them, and often resolving common problems directly. It supports multiple languages for responses and helps manage stale issues by resolving or deprecating them. Furthermore, Dosu aids in maintaining documentation by reminding developers to update it, assisting in writing, and providing context on external code. It also helps enforce coding standards and style guides defined by the team.
