Autonomous blast radius intelligence for every merge request.
🔴 Live Demo: prism-ai.vercel.app
⚡ API: your-railway-url.railway.app/health
Large engineering teams merge hundreds of pull requests weekly. Each one is a potential blast event — a change that propagates through dependency layers in ways no single reviewer can manually trace.
The questions that go unanswered before every merge:
- Which downstream services depend on this file?
- Has this module caused incidents before?
- How deep does the dependency chain run?
- Who has the most context to catch edge cases?
The result is production incidents, security regressions, and maintainer burnout from manual code archaeology on every review.
PRISM answers all four questions automatically, in under 4 seconds, before any human opens the diff.
PRISM is an event-driven, multi-agent AI pipeline. It ingests GitLab webhook payloads, mathematically traverses the repository syntax tree, analyzes the git blame footprint, and coordinates deterministic heuristics to block dangerous merges.

Rather than relying on opaque LLMs to "guess" risk, PRISM anchors on six deterministic metrics extracted directly from AST dependencies and Git history.
| Factor | Signal | Max Points |
|---|---|---|
| PR Size | Lines changed | 15 |
| File Churn | Commits per file (30d) | 20 |
| Core Module | auth/payment/security touched | 20 |
| Test Coverage | Tests removed or missing | 20 |
| Dependency Depth | BFS traversal layers | 15 |
| Author Experience | Prior commits to module | 10 |
Using tree-sitter, PRISM reconstructs the entire Python/JS project as a NetworkX Directed Graph in memory. It executes a Breadth-First-Search (BFS) reversal to calculate the exact structural blast radius of any mutated module.
We bypass primitive codeowners files. Utilizing git blame layered against specific modified code blocks, PRISM resolves the most highly-correlated active maintainers who authentically hold the domain context natively.
Only after deterministic data structures are extracted does PRISM hit the Llama-3.3-70b foundational model via Groq's LPUs. Inferencing happens precisely on a narrow window of factual metadata to project human-readable developer summaries instantly.
| Metric | Before PRISM-AI | After PRISM-AI |
|---|---|---|
| Time to blast radius analysis | Manual, hours | Automatic, 4 seconds |
| Dependency visibility | Zero | Full AST-computed graph |
| Risk assessment | Gut feeling | Deterministic 0-100 score |
| Reviewer identification | Team memory | Git blame + frequency analysis |
| Post-merge incidents caught at review | ~30% | Measurably higher |
GitLab serves 30 million users across 1 million+ organizations. Every single merge decision is made without blast radius data. PRISM-AI is the missing intelligence layer.
| Layer | Technology | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Backend | Python 3.12 + FastAPI | Async webhook processing |
| Code Analysis | tree-sitter 0.21 | Language-aware AST parsing |
| Graph Engine | NetworkX + BFS | Blast radius computation |
| AI Summary | Groq (llama-3.3-70b) | Risk explanation generation |
| Database | PostgreSQL + SQLAlchemy | Analysis persistence |
| Frontend | Next.js 15 + TypeScript | Real-time dashboard |
| Visualization | D3.js force-directed | Interactive blast radius graph |
| Auth | NextAuth.js v5 | OAuth (Google/GitHub/GitLab) |
| Infrastructure | Docker Compose | One-command deployment |
