Buildermark is an open-source, local-first desktop app that measures AI contribution across your codebase by matching agent diffs to commits. It supports Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and Cursor, producing a breakdown of which files, functions, and commits involved AI generation — all without sending code to external servers. A browser extension handles import from cloud-based agents, and a Team Server edition for org-level aggregation is planned as a paid self-hosted offering. The tool surfaces metrics like percentage of total lines AI-generated, AI contribution by file type, trend over time, and breakdown by agent (which AI wrote what). For solo developers it's a personal diagnostic; for teams, it becomes a code quality signal — sections with high AI contribution may warrant extra scrutiny in review. Buildermark taps into a growing enterprise need: as AI-generated code becomes the norm, teams, auditors, and compliance officers want provenance data — both for quality assurance and for emerging legal questions around IP ownership of AI-generated work. GitHub doesn't expose this natively, and most agent tools don't track it. Buildermark fills that gap with a zero-cloud approach that enterprise legal teams can actually approve.

QA.tech is an AI QA agent that learns how your web app works — visually, the way a human tester would — then automatically runs end-to-end tests on every pull request before it merges. You describe test scenarios in plain English; the agent handles the rest, with no selectors, no test code, and no brittle CSS path maintenance. The system builds a knowledge graph of your application's structure and user flows during an initial learning phase, then uses that graph to plan and execute tests intelligently when new PRs come in. When the app changes, the agent adapts its understanding rather than throwing selector-not-found errors like traditional Selenium or Playwright suites. For small teams that can't afford a dedicated QA engineer, or larger teams drowning in flaky test maintenance, QA.tech offers a compelling pitch: describe what matters in plain language and let the agent decide how to verify it. The Product Hunt launch drew strong initial traction from indie developers and early-stage startups looking to add regression coverage without the overhead of a full testing framework.
Reviewer scorecard
“Unified attribution across Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and Cursor simultaneously gives me something no single agent tool provides. Commit-level AI attribution is genuinely useful before merging — I want to know if a section is heavily AI-generated so I can give it proportionally more review attention.”
“The selector-free approach is genuinely appealing to anyone who's wasted hours fixing brittle Playwright tests after a designer changed a class name. If the knowledge graph adapts to UI changes reliably in practice, this could replace an entire category of test maintenance work that nobody enjoys.”
“Most AI-assisted code is human-modified before commit, creating a false dichotomy between 'AI-written' and 'human-written.' The legal question of IP ownership for AI-generated code is also unresolved, so Buildermark's framing could create more confusion than clarity for compliance teams. Wait for the enterprise edition.”
“AI-driven test agents have been promised before and they consistently struggle with complex stateful flows, modal dialogs, and multi-step auth. The 'adapts to UI changes' claim needs hard evidence — does it catch regressions or just re-learn the broken state? Pricing opacity is also a red flag for budget-sensitive teams.”
“In 18 months, enterprise procurement will ask for AI contribution reports the same way they ask for test coverage reports. Getting a baseline now builds the historical data that future audits will require — and Buildermark's zero-cloud architecture means early adopters won't have to migrate when compliance requirements arrive.”
“The end game here is tests written in intent, not implementation. The shift from 'click the button with id=submit' to 'verify the user can complete checkout' is philosophically important — it means tests survive redesigns and become living documentation of what the product is supposed to do.”
“Having a dashboard that shows my AI usage patterns across projects would genuinely change how I think about skill development. Am I outsourcing the hard parts? Am I improving? Buildermark is the mirror I didn't know I needed — and the fact that it's free and local means there's no reason not to try it.”
“As someone who ships design changes and dreads 'breaking the tests,' the idea of tests that understand intent over structure is appealing. If QA.tech can handle responsive layouts and dynamic content reliably, it removes one of the biggest friction points between design iterations and shipping.”
