What if your product

built itself?

You have a new pull request ready for review. (Yep, really.)

While you slept, PostHog dug through your product data, found what was worth fixing, and had agents do the work. All you need to do is hit merge.

PostHog instruments your codebase, then combines that context with product data like analytics events, errors, and recordings to understand problems and propose fixes.

How PostHog makes your product self-driving

Notable things happening in your product

A signal is a single observation about your product.

Support

Tickets and conversations from your users

PostHog agents run on their own, but don't run wild

Self-driving is autonomy from instruction, not from you. Agents work in the background without you prompting them to make progress, but nothing ships on autopilot.

  • It's stuck in a sandbox. Work happens in the cloud, nowhere near your repo. Agents follow your branch protections, CI, and review rules.
  • The work can't merge itself. Nothing reaches production until a human clicks merge. Robots don't touch the big green button.
  • PRs > Issues. Raw signals are deduped and clustered into reports. Actionable ones become PRs. You only pay for real work completed.
  • Your secrets are safe. Literally, and so is your code. Private repos stay private, and so does your data. (We're training AI models, but not on your code.)

Learn it by use case

The pocket guide to self-driving

A quick overview of self-driving, plus real use cases. Each one walks through the report a scout files, the pull request it becomes, and the scout itself. You can also add each use case as a custom scout to your own product.

Work lands while you sleep. You wake up to diffs and reports waiting for review. Then what?
