Upshift AI

Upshift AI is a new tool designed to help software developers manage and update the libraries and packages their projects rely on. These updates, called dependencies, are essential for keeping software secure and modern, but they can be complicated and time-consuming to handle.

Benefits

Upshift AI makes updating project dependencies much easier and safer. It helps developers understand exactly what changes are happening with each update, especially when those changes might break existing code. The tool can also automatically perform the upgrades and, if something goes wrong, it can undo the changes to keep the project stable.

Use Cases

Developers can use Upshift AI to scan their projects for outdated packages. When an update is needed, they can use the AI feature to get clear explanations of any breaking changes. This includes simple instructions on how to fix their code and specific examples of what to replace. For instance, it can show how to update code when a function name changes or when a feature is removed. The tool also has a safety feature that runs tests after an upgrade and rolls back if the tests fail.

Pricing

Upshift AI offers a free plan for basic use, which includes unlimited scans and standard explanations. For more advanced features, like AI-powered analysis, users can purchase credits. New users get 10 free AI credits. Additional credits can be bought, and a Pro subscription for $9 per month includes 100 credits.

Vibes

Users can get started by installing the Upshift CLI tool and running a scan in their project. The AI analysis provides detailed insights into dependency upgrades, helping developers make informed decisions.

Additional Information

Future plans for Upshift AI include creating AI-powered code fixes, a plugin for the popular VS Code editor, and a way to automatically scan projects through GitHub.
