Engineering teams and indie devs who want to offload well-scoped tickets and bug fixes to an autonomous AI engineer that ships reviewable PRs instead of raw code suggestions

Default
Default is an autonomous AI software engineer aimed at teams that want to offload the repetitive end of their engineering backlog. Instead of acting as an inline copilot, Default takes engineering tickets — features, bug fixes, refactors — and works them end-to-end: reading the repository, planning a change, generating code, running tests, and opening a verified pull request on GitHub for a human to review and merge. The human-in-the-loop step is core to the pitch: every change ships as a reviewable PR with the underlying reasoning attached, so engineers stay in control of what actually lands on main. The goal is straightforward — collapse the time between a ticket being filed and a tested PR being ready, free senior engineers from grinding through low-leverage tickets, and let small teams move closer to a 'AI engineer in the loop' workflow without giving up code review discipline.
