As AI reshapes development, sustainable engineering matters more than ever

AI agents are generating code at unprecedented speed, but volume doesn’t guarantee quality. Without oversight, complexity grows, maintainability suffers, and systems become harder to scale.

Payback is AI-Powered Code Governance

Payback is an autonomous AI agent that continuously identifies inefficiencies in your codebase before they slow you down.

It doesn’t just flag problems—it provides guidance and delivers fixes for issues that can be resolved automatically.

While your team focuses on building, Payback works in the background to keep your codebase clean and maintainable. No endless dashboards. No growing backlog of warnings. Just real, actionable solutions that remove obstacles and keep your team shipping.

Why Now?

AI is making software development more accessible, allowing anyone to generate code. But AI agents are built to complete tasks, not design scalable systems. As more code is generated this way, systems become disjointed. Future changes take longer. Scaling gets harder. Execution slows, delaying launches and increasing costs.

Payback keeps development on track, so teams can move fast today without slowing down tomorrow.
