Investing.com - Block Inc. (NYSE:SQ) announced Wednesday the launch of Builderbot, an AI orchestration tool that coordinates multiple AI agents across the company’s codebase and operates within Slack to automate software development tasks.
The tool executes over 200,000 operations per day and merges approximately 1,500 pull requests per week, representing about 15% of all production code changes across Block. Engineers tag the bot in Slack with a description of needed work, and the system handles bug fixes, service migrations, or new features by researching, planning, and implementing code while team members collaborate in real time.
Builderbot differs from standard coding assistants by understanding the full context of Block’s codebase, including every service, API, and convention across the company. The system picks up tickets from Linear and Jira, creates branches, writes code, opens pull requests, monitors continuous integration, and iterates based on feedback. It operates only on source code and system configuration, not accessing customer data, payment information, or personally identifiable information.
"The best way to think about Builderbot is as the missing layer between AI coding tools and how engineering actually works at scale," said Brad Axen, Head of AI Capabilities at Block. "It handles the orchestration, the context, the environment, so our engineers can focus on the problems worth solving."
Builderbot is built on goose, an open source agent framework Block contributed to the Agentic AI Foundation under the Linux Foundation. The company co-developed the Model Context Protocol with Anthropic, which has become an industry standard for connecting AI agents to tools and data sources.
