shame to see a company that was originally targeting a niche (devs that care enough to pay for a tool for stacked diffs) do a complete 180 to chase the AI bag. i have to imagine the overlap between the original users and ones interested in 'graphite chat' is miniscule.

for anyone that's looking for a no-fluff stacked diff tool to replace Graphite, i've found https://abhinav.github.io/git-spice/ to be solid

we still do stacked diffs — it's our bread and butter, and many of our existing customers, some of whom have been with us since the beginning, are finding a ton of value from both diamond comments and chat. i loved working on the CLI, i loved working on chat, and i'm excited to continue building tools that make code review less of a pain.

the core problem that stacked diffs and that adding AI to the PR page solve are the same — code reviews slow devs down and force unnecessary context switching.

stacked prs help you get around this by allowing you to manage your work in way that makes it easier to organize in an author and easier to deal with as a reviewer. AI can help you get around this by making it easier to review PRs when you open the page, and save you the context switch of going back to your editor to make a tweak that a reviewer suggests.

Graphite has always been about shortening the cycle time and reducing the amount of busy work from writing code to getting it merged, and we'll continue building features that speed up that cycle.

the best part is — you can still pay for Graphite, and you don't have to use ANY of our AI features. we're still constantly shipping improvements to our CLI, optimizing our merge queue for our larger enterprise deployments, continually working on making the PR page more modern and easier to use than GitHub's and working with the same customers that we have since the beginning to do so.

would love to hear what you think we can do better to address your needs

One key way I use JetBrains AI or any LLM is to ask it what's wrong with my code, and get some insightful remarks that make reasonable suggestions. I havent used it to do PRs yet, since my employer has not invested in such tools, but I imagine it would help to catch big issues that we might miss and approve.

I've been using it internally for the past few weeks (employee at Graphite).

It's really nice! I normally do the same thing as you. You basically get to save the copy/paste and context-switch. The changes it suggests can be integrated into the PR immediately... it works pretty well! Especially in collaboration with Diamond.

The automatically-provided Diamond comments -> chat "plz fix this" pipeline is really productive.
