Spent a bunch of this weekend working on Nautilus, Hardcover's internal Hub for code review and agentic development - and it's shaping up! Coding + PR Reviews run through Conductor Cloud, w/fallbacks to other models depending on current subscription use. Looks like OpenCode will be next.

Side note: It's called Nautilus because Hardcover's mascot is called Jules (Jules Verne), and Nautilus was a fun name for what happens beneath the main codebase our users see. Internally the agents are named after characters from the anime Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water, which is a fun retelling.

oooo I’d love to hear more about how this works and why it’s the right choice for y’all! Been seeing a lot of companies trying this internal agent stuff and I’m curious on the calculus for a smaller team.

We’ve been iterating on ways to minimize the time from an issue or full product idea to a full PR ready to have a humans final eyes on it (someone on the team reviews every PR, often person who ran agents + quick double check sensitive areas by me too). We’re starting to add images and videos too
