About

Alchemize is an AI code review platform that helps teams understand and test code. Agentic coding has 10x’d code output, creating larger PRs more frequently, but existing review workflows haven’t kept up. Alchemize breaks large changes into smaller, dependency-ordered PRs and guided reviews. It surfaces the prompts, intent, and assumptions behind agent-written code, then uses browser agents to test affected workflows. Reviewers can quickly understand how a change works, identify where human judgment is needed, and ship faster with more confidence.
