Overview

Graphite, founded in 2020, started as tooling for stacked pull requests, breaking a large change into a sequence of smaller, dependent PRs that can be reviewed and merged incrementally rather than as one large, hard-to-review diff, well before AI code review became a category of its own.

That stacking foundation still shapes its more recent AI review features: rather than reviewing one PR in isolation, Graphite's AI understands the context of an entire stack of related changes, catching issues that only make sense in light of how several dependent PRs relate to each other, alongside a stack-aware merge queue that lands changes in order and keeps branches green.

A free tier covers individual use, and paid plans start around $20 a month per user for team features and full AI review. For a team that already works in stacked PRs or wants to, Graphite's combination of stack-management tooling and stack-aware AI review addresses both needs in one platform rather than requiring a separate review tool bolted onto existing git workflow software.
