Your project runs on duct tape

Most projects with 10k+ stars use six or more bots, each handling one narrow task. None of them talk to each other. None of them understand your project. You're the glue.

Alder maintains the whole project

One agent that understands your codebase, your conventions, and your community. It doesn't just react. It works proactively, continuously, autonomously.

TRIAGE

Issue intelligence

Labels, deduplicates, prioritizes, and responds to issues with full codebase context. Surfaces what actually matters.

REVIEW

Deep PR review

Reviews PRs against your style, your architecture, your test standards. Not surface-level lint. Real code review.

DOCS

Living documentation

Detects when docs drift from code. Updates READMEs, API docs, and contributor guides automatically.

RELEASE

Automated releases

Generates changelogs from merged PRs, manages semantic versioning, drafts release notes that humans actually read.

COMMUNITY

Contributor cultivation

Welcomes new contributors, highlights good-first-issues, thanks merged PRs. Grows your community while you focus on code.

SECURITY

Vulnerability watch

Scans dependencies, flags security-relevant issues, and escalates to maintainers before problems reach production.

Open source shouldn't depend on one person staying awake

The best projects in the world are maintained by small teams doing heroic, unsustainable work. Alder changes the math. One agent. Full coverage. Every day.
