What is Ace?

Ace is an AI co-pilot built for engineering leaders and development teams. It sits between your codebase and your team, helping engineering managers and developers work more efficiently by providing contextual assistance, code insights, and workflow automation. The tool focuses on the practical challenges of engineering leadership: managing team productivity, understanding code quality, tracking technical debt, and making informed decisions about projects and people. Rather than replacing engineers, Ace acts as a thinking partner that understands your specific engineering context and helps surface the information you need to lead effectively.
