What is Graphite?

Graphite is a code review platform founded in 2020 in New York City by Merrill Lutsky, Greg Foster (ex-Airbnb and Google engineer), and Tomas Reimers (ex-Facebook software developer). The company has raised USD 81 million in venture capital to date, including a USD 52 million Series B led by Accel with participation from Anthropic Anthology Fund, Menlo Ventures, Shopify Ventures, Figma Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, and The General Partnership. Graphite provides an open-source CLI and code review dashboard built for engineers to write and review smaller pull requests, enabling teams to ship faster through incremental changes. The platform features Graphite Agent, an AI-powered code review capability integrated into all plans, providing best-in-class AI code review tooling regardless of team size. Pricing starts with a Starter plan at USD 20/month with limited Agent interactions, and a popular Team plan at USD 40/month offering unlimited AI reviews and chat, stacking, merge queue, and advanced team features. Graphite offers a 30-day free trial with no credit card required.
