PatchPilot

PatchPilot is a web app (with optional GitHub/GitLab app integration) that manages dependency updates like a disciplined release engineer, not a noisy bot. It watches your repos, groups related upgrades into sensible PRs, runs your CI, and uses an AI-assisted “breakage triage” to propose minimal fixes when tests fail (e.g., API changes, config updates, lockfile conflicts). The key is policy: you define risk budgets, allowed semver ranges, maintenance windows, and “never touch” packages. PatchPilot then schedules upgrades, auto-merges only when confidence is high, and escalates the rest with clear, actionable diffs and rollback guidance. It also produces a weekly security and maintenance report that’s actually readable, mapping CVEs to impacted services and showing what was patched, deferred, or blocked. This is not a magic ‘fix everything’ tool—it's a pragmatic upgrade operator that reduces toil and keeps teams current.
