About

Stage is a code review platform designed to help engineers better understand and review AI generated code. Engineering teams are shipping faster than ever with coding agents, but now they’re drowning in an endless backlog of PRs to review. Stage reorganizes the code review process around how engineers naturally read changes, enabling your team to review (and merge!) PRs 5x faster than GitHub.
